Sleepless Nights Waiting for Vista

Why Why Why would anyone line up at a department store at midnight to be one of the first to buy an operating system?

Should the cops have been hanging outside to book these geeks as they speed home to install it? Then again, I reckon mum and dad were in the car outside waiting to take their 30 year old computer “guru” home so maybe not. Same dudes who probably lined up for Star Wars movie tickets while the rest of us just booked them on the net or over the phone. Maybe I’m just getting old or maybe I’m just still too cool for all this stuff……. 
That’s all …………

Draz,
Tough call lumping “lining up all night for an operating system”, to a “midnight session” of the fantastic scifi series, Starwars, which has deep philosophies of life driving it “the force”.

Yeah, anyone waiting ’till after midnight to get hold of an O/S must be a life long member of the esteemed society of nerds. You could easily argue that anyone spending time on any computer-related stuff after midnight (and not simply surfing the playboy.com site), surely, must be a hard-core geek, right ?
And with those geekdom pre-requisites in mind, spare a thought for Draz, who, at the ungodly hour of 12:39am, tapped happily away on his latest plasma screened, dual core processor, 4GB Ram with ADSL-2 & posted this original blogging thread, talking about geeks who were spending time on computer stuff after midnight.

Chappo,
Your point if valid would be good.
BTW, how is Vista?
