[pchelpers] Re: Vista vs XP

I guess the old adage is true.  You can't teach an old dog a new
operating system.  ;-)  All this discussion reminds me of Windows 3.1
We had that OS for a few years, then we bought Windows 95.  A friend of
mine rather excitedly said, "Isn't Windows 95 great?!" and all I could
say is, "I liked Windows 3.1 better."  It's true.  It took me so long to
figure out Windows 95 and I zipped around 3.1 so easily and I knew where
everything was.  Windows 95 was just so "different."  I got used to it
though, and yes the new OS, which hasn't changed much at all through to
Windows XP, really was great.  It just took awhile to get used to it.
Not having Vista myself, I'm sure the learning curve to Vista is
probably not as large as the learning curve was when upgrading to
Windows 95.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
