    @sunny: haha, yes, I'm a software developer! I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. It's only 5 years old! We're only upgrading now to Windows 7 because Microsoft is no longer going to support XP and provide security patches!

    @Adira: OMG. Two weeks!

    Oh, my company just upgraded to Windows 7. I got switched over in September. I'm in the lab most days but I still have to use my computer for emails and reports. Our company is very slow when it comes to IT issues.

    ahahahha! OK, I'm totally laughing at the shout-out to @smurfette:!

    Oh man - I'm impressed you could even be online that much at work!

    @bluestriped bee: Yeah, our IT is slow too. That's why it's taking so long to get my new computer! Ugh!! Of course, it probably doesn't help that I think we laid off half the IT department recently!!!

    @shopaholic: haha, @Smurfette and I are HB-BFFs! My real-life BFF even knows about Smurfette (and that I refer to her as Smurfette, which makes my friend chuckle).

    And I'm really not SUPPOSED to be on-line as much as I am, but... you know... it's HB... I have to be on here...

    @Adira: do you work at a tech company? When I did, we got a new machine every 3 years. I don't think I could do some of the work I was required to do if I didn't have a pretty beefy, current machine.

    @sunny: I work for a defense contractor. We apparently don't need the latest and greatest, haha.

    @QueensBee: Hopefully it's only two weeks! But it oculd also be less. I'm hoping it's shorter!!
