Well, one big fail: Our all-in-one printer is apparently so old (ten years?) that HP has thrown up its hands and said "no driver, sorry". The amazing
thing is that Win7 still detects the printer and identifies it by name -- but it has no idea what kind of device it is and just shows it as a grey box. And I
can't tell it otherwise.
Peggy and I have been talking about getting a new printer to handle digital photos anyway, so that's going to be the new acquisition.
In the mean time, Win7 is very pretty and seems quite comfortable on my system. I'm still restoring and reinstalling various applications, but overall
things are proceeding nicely. Even if I did have to go directly to a chip manufacturer to get drivers for the mobo's built-in sound card.

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.
