12 years makes a difference.

The crowd outside the store where Windows ‘95 was sold for the first time:

The crowd outside the store where Windows Vista was sold for the first time:

On a completely unrelated note, here’s a picture of Kristen Bell, TV’s Veronica Mars, having lightsaber duels with her friends outside of Star Tours in Florida:

I have nothing interesting to say about the pic.  It just pleases me.

Vista, heh. What a pathetic effort. 5-10 years of development, and it’s already subject to 38% of the malware out there, and this little delightful piece: Microsoft has admitted that Vista’s voice capabilities make it susceptible to a new type of malware, where someone send you an mp3 file, and the playing of it causes disaster for your system.

Magic Word: “season69” I’m not saying anything about that.

I trust the Kristen Bell feature will be a regular component of Aplenty henceforth?  May I also suggest some Photoshop alterations wherein she is wrestling Rachel McAdams?

Thanks in advance -

Ok, that middle photo is seriously disturbing.  The guy in the front looks like he has flesh-eating bacteria on his face, and the other guy, well..I’m going to have nightmares tonight.

There’s not a real photo of those two wrestling? Where are my tax dollars going, anyway?

From the expression on that blonde’s face, she doesn’t realize it’s a game.

She can hold my lightsaber anytime. I may have to check out that show now that her character is street legal.

You should photoshop your face over the other guy. Wouldn’t that be better than Rachel McAdams? Or maybe not.
