Okay, I'm still ranting about Microsoft and their habit of making life harder than it needs to be. But from what I understand, Microsoft is going to start making some programs (such as Visual Studio 2010) compatible only with Vista and Windows 7. I like to program, and Microsoft Visual Studio is what I use. Now that's okay for me because I have Vista, but I can't have Vista or Windows 7 to do everything I want. It's all about compatibility. I can't upgrade my system just for one program and leave my games (which I said earlier already have issues with Vista) and other important stuff behind. And I can't change Microsoft's mind can I? So what to do, what to do...

Also, I don't know if I've mentioned this yet, but I got my hands on a real Gibson Les Paul! It's incredible in every sense of the word, BUT...

(Betcha didn't see that one comin' did ya?)

...Buying stuff for it is way too expensive. The pedal I want for it is the almighty BOSS GT-8. A little over $400 new. I don't even have an amp yet! Everythings so expensive! It's hard to have a hobby these days!
