Today's yard-wale find

 A Singer serger ("vintage", made of actual metal) for free -- the owner
said it was broken, and it was dirty from being in the garage for a long
time.  The friend we gave it to cleaned it up, and it works perfectly.
Now she has a serger with black thread and one with white thread.

Aside:  Windows 7 is a piece of shit.  Does anybody know if there's an
option to make it look (and operate) like XP?  I've got FF and TB 7
looking like older versions, which is a tremendous improvement over the
current appearance/operation.

Hard to imagine that a retro-grouch can long for the good old days of
2009 :-(

Not so hard to imagine. I, for one, do not think that MS is making
forward progress with Windows.  After Win 98 it has been all downhill.

Have you thought about converting to Linux?

 I meant 'yard-SALE!

I have an XP machine for stuff that needs it (Canon scanner, tax
software).  It seems a lot more user-friendly than W7. Configuration
seems more straightforward.  If I was going to use W7 on a regular basis
I'd probably figure out how to whip it into some sort of acceptable
shape, but I don't see that happening in the near future.

I felt that way for a short while when forced to use it at work but
switched over the household computer to Win7 after I was used to it. I
really is a big improvement.
