Hit me up on MSN or AIM any time and I can help. There's also Inferior Minion - he helps me all of the time, too, quite the guru. I'm sure you have other resources available as well, but just offering up my hand here.

In case I fell from your list (It's Minnek, :P)

Well, hopefully I won't be stuck with this for too long - working on getting a new computer. This one still has lots of problems - I still get random disk boot errors when starting up and programs exit randomly (although that could be a software problem).

The question is, for my new computer, XP or Vista? I hear people saying Vista is shit and people saying Vista is awesomeness. Which is it? I'm no computer whizgeek, which probably factors in there somewhere.

Vista is simply too broken and unreliable right now. Get XP and you're set - Vista needs a couple years to fully mature before I would recommend it to anyone.
