Greed, gluttony, and 5 others!

So, I may have hinted a time or two in the past, I am a dork. I am an excited dork, however! I am a subscriber to several email lists, blogs, RSS feeds, etc. from the good ol' Spawn of Satan - Microsoft. I mention Spawn of Satan, not due to my personal beliefs, but every single person that I know has turned into a believer in Apple. (as I type tis, I hit the space key twice, expecting a "." to magically materialize on the screen - Damn you iPhone!!).

So, any how. Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows Vista; and now, the latest edition, the seventh itteration of Windows consumer oriented operating system - Seven.

I am anxiously anticipating the arrival of my signature edition of the operating system. As mentioned above, I am on these plethorea of mailing lists, and one of them has afforded me the opportunity to host a launch party. This edition of the operating system is supposed to be so user friendly, the playful kids in the microsoft labs have decided that the launches need to be held in consumers homes. I applied, they responded, I submitted, they approved, and I am a launch party host.

Not only do I get to host the party for 9 of my friends, I get the copy of Windows before its official release, and I get ten little party favor bags for my guests. Cheese aside, I get the operating system. So far, I have two confirmed, and a maybe in attendance. Who is the maybe? Good question.. myown wife. She isn't as into the whole digital life as I am. (you can read that as she's not as much of a dork, but whateva!)

So, wish me luck in not exploding waiting on the lurvely mail man to deliver my surprises!!
