Ok so I’ve been running Windows XP for a few days now, and I’d have to say that I’m Really impressed. It’s improved my video playback which I did expect. Although I did seem to have problems with the dual monitor support, but I got that fixed when I downloaded the latest ATI drivers.

There are a ton of cool things in it. I’m just glad that I was able to get rid of the funky buttons and revert back to “windows classic”.

Sharing was a little odd, even on the local network. I’m obviously going to have to figure that out. Other than that however, everything is good so far.

Let’s see how long that lasts. :)

I talked to my friend Raina last night. I’m happy. :)

On a side note, it’s monday. I’m tired. My back hurts. But I’m still happy. :)

I could probably talk about the oscars. A Beautiful Mind – I knew it would win. I haven’t even seen it and I knew it would win. Jennifer Connelly – Good for her. She deserves an oscar. Halle Berry – Even better! She deserves it. Ron Howard – Deserved it and about time. :)

That is all.
