Yay new laptop! :D I really love Vista, but it can be so cranky and seems to require so much maintenance to make it last. The old desktop we had only ran Vista efficiently for about a year, then it started to die. Hopefully Windows 7 will be much better.

Also: I hate job training like that. When I briefly worked for Petsmart, I was stuck in the employee break room in front of the TV for hours, just watching pointless "training" videos and nothing else...they didn't even really train you for anything. Lazy management at its finest.
