We're right there with you, jeff.
I'm ready to get rid of the Vaio. My husband's idea is to take it out in the desert and shoot it. ;o)

That reminds me, I actually have a short video somewhere of a VCR being blown to bits by a 12ga and a rifle. I will have to see if I dig it up and post the link. I made it when I got my first DVD player and never looked back LOL :)
You might try loading Linux on the VAIO. To check it out, goto
LinuxISO and download Knoppix. Cut the ISO to a CD, and boot off of it. This will
not install anything on your computer, but will boot to a Linux desktop which you can play around with for a while and see if you like it.
Knoppix (click on the US/UK flag when you get there unless you grok German) is also one of the best emergency rescue disks out there. I used it a couple of months ago to get data off a windows laptop that was totally hosed from hardware disk errors. Nothing Windows based could deal with the disk at all, but Knoppix allowed me to save the person's data in minutes.
