Patience, Grasshopper
After reading all the (mostly) enthusiastic reviews of Windows 7, I'm tempted to make the upgrade from XP. Yet I think I'll wait until I have a long weekend to give myself sufficient time for reformatting and reinstalling all my applications. I'm enough of a geek that I actually look forward to spending a couple days making my system all shiny with that new OS smell. That said, XP continues to work like a champ. Since I rebuilt my computer a couple years ago, it's been a paragon of stability and reliability. But I'll be able to resist the siren call of the new new thing for only so long, so XP and I will do our best to enjoy whatever time we have left.
And yes, I've also been eyeing the new iMacs. But a new iMac, along with the necessary accessibility software, would cost me close to two grand. I'd have a hard time justifying that expense, especially now that Windows 7 and OS X approaching parity in terms of features and ease of use.
