I remember when I was a boy. I had a bicycle that was rock solid too.
Wouldn't have used it to go from the East coast to the West coast though...

From what I hear Vista is not all that slow. Yeah sure you can turn on
all the eye candy etc and slow things down - especially if you don't
have a good graphics yet insist on asking Vista to do fancy graphics. Of
course, you also can turn off of that off too. I've heard that Vista is
actually faster than XP - pound for pound that is.
Of course for many people change is difficult...
