Chunk all your DVD's in the trash
And start over from scratch. Hi Def, boy,
that's the way to go! Never mind that $3500
bucks (or however much it was) you've spent
on your movie collection.

It'll help out the folks that operate the
landfills, too. Fillum up fast, what with
all the hardware that was replaced with
super-duper high-end high-power turbo-drive
hardware and mucho ram to run Vista.

Job security! Getting Vista to run, fixing
it, replacing it, or switching to something
else will keep us all busy, a loooooong
time...... besides all the landfill
operators..... hardware manufacturers....
and MICROSOFT!

OOXML anyone? Microsoft is making
it "interoperable" (and I've got some
niiiiiice oceanfront property overlooking
the Indy 500 track..... inquire within...).
