Now That's What I Miss After Leaving The Police Department

Classic stuff, found, I believe, only in the police/fire world. juvenile, asinine, and I miss it! We did have a hell of a good time through the years on the job. As usual, the NYPD continues to lead. Click the link:

Vista

Anybody else out there enjoying their MS Vista experience? God help us, Filemaker yesterday announced that as of version 8.5v2, an update released yesterday as well, FM now supports Vista. Spending as much time as I do in the vortex of the tech journals, I was hoping they'd just blow the whole thing off as a weird anomaly and hope for something better out of Redmond in another six or seven years.

We don't do any operating system consulting of any kind - we prefer to stay in our own sandbox, so to speak - but even my phone has been ringing from people all over the place going through all kinds of hell trying to get Vista to do what their Windows 95 OS did ten years ago: sit there and just run their computer.

All of which speaks to why I enjoyed this entry I came across today in response to a rant posted on The Business of Software about the seeming impossibility of even getting a "Certified For Vista" logo going, much less the actual software.

Hey, you gotta start somewhere, right?
