Add a Sentence

It’s that time of year again, everybody. It’s time for us to put aside our differences and write a story together.

Good CD-ripper for Vista?

Published by Phillip under internet & computers

I recently got a new PC pre-installed with Vista. It seems like a half decent operating system so far. My main complaint is: things that used to work don’t work anymore because they’re incompatible with Vista. My older version of WordPerfect isn’t compatible with Vista (so I’m switching to OpenOffice). Neither is my older [...]
