You bet! At least last week they were. I finally caved in to my own pressure and bit the bullet before Windows 7 was released. Just in case. Although, I think I lost count of how many definite XP cutoff deadlines Microslop set, and reset, and set again, and so on and so on.

Yeah, Sonica is alive and well. I just don't know what the deal was with
ADK. That is, I don't know if Guy sold out the entire business to them or
basically the management of it and he's still building the systems.

The guy I happen to talk to was Scott. Seemed like a nice guy, but heh, doesn't everyone in the sales department? Although I must give him credit. I asked why it was only 75 bucks to upgrade the dual core processor to 2.8 GHz and something like 290 bucks for the 3.06 GHz monster. I said, am I missing something here? He said, nope. Don't waste your money. There's nothing else different about that upgrade. You're paying that fat chunk of change just for a little processor booster shot.

Then he said, it pays to call. You're a previous customer so that knocks 50 bucks off the price and no shipping charge. I said, great! how 'bout a Sonica t-shirt? His response? Don't push it. Heh! Nah, I'm kidding about that last one.

I just called Sonica Labs to see what they had to say regarding Windows 7.
They said, so far the OS (overall) looks pretty good, but, not exactly
what you wanted to hear, the biggest problem is waiting for software and
hardware, namely drivers, to become available. So no matter which way you
go, back to XP or forward to Windows 7, you'll no doubt have a driver
search on your hands.

Oh yeah, and he talked me in to a screaming new laptop too. grin.

Good luck,
Tom
