I am now proud to say that I am a Windows 7 user now! I've had 7 on my laptop for 3 years now, but I mean for my desktop working environment, in which I've been an XP user with since 2008.

I like Bon Jovi's music, I just don't like his version of that song.

Merry Christmas, y'all! 

I managed to open up a new memory card reader, a new weather station that uplinks data to Wunderground ( !!) with a temperature shield included, a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium, and a $100 gift card.. it may not be a whole lot, but simply because my request list was rather low and the cost of my list was pushing it 

Anyways, please stay safe everyone, and remember not to eat a whole lot of food!

The shield means nothing. That's just for UAC permissions. So if you cannot delete it, just go to your Control Panel and disable UAC (User Account Control).
