Molasses in Late December

Something's up with my MS Vista "enabled" computer, and for the past week I haven't been able to post photos to this blog, open attachments on email, or get on Blackboard (for work). What *does* work is as slow as the proverbial wintertime jar of molasses. So....because I can't stand a lot of frustration right now, I won't even try to post pictures (or do any of those other everyday tasks) until I can get this situation straightened out. (Man, do I hate Vista.....)
