I haven't heard much news about Windows Vista lately, which

David, flash drives are becoming a very viable medium for computers. Dell
recently announced that certain models of laptops would have the option for
a flash hard drive, but at a steep cost.

Don, your prediction is probably right, I'll stick to my OSX and UNIX
favorites... I only use Windows where I have to, and will keep using XP
