This is one of those times. <a href="http://seems2shel.typepad.com/itseemstome/">Shel</a> and Paula Israel, thank you so much for an awesome dinner last night! What a feast! I&#8217;m still recovering. And, thanks to <a href="http://blog.softtechvc.com/">Jeff Clavier</a> for <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35034363287@N01/77358655/">the wine</a>. It&#8217;s the first time I&#8217;ve had <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35034363287@N01/77359471/">a 30-year-old wine</a>. Damn, now I can&#8217;t go back to my two-buck-chuck. Sigh.</p>
<p>And, yes, Shel, <a href="http://seems2shel.typepad.com/itseemstome/2005/12/thinkpad_envy.html">I do have ThinkPad envy</a>. Your new toy is so light! Not like the desert we had. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35034363287@N01/77355818/in/photostream/">What a log</a>! I showed Jeff Windows Vista and Office 12 too. Jeff liked it a lot.</p>
<p>Me too, after switching half of my life over to Windows Vista and Office 12 it&#8217;s really hard to go back to XP and Office 2003.</p>
<p>One thing I&#8217;ve noticed is that Office 12&#8217;s new UI feels a lot more &#8220;Web like.&#8221; Why? No menus. I think this is going to be a suprise hit. Steve Gillmor is counting Office out, saying it&#8217;s dead, but, sorry, I sure like using Office 12 a lot more than, say, <a href="http://www.writely.com/">Writely</a> (which I&#8217;ve also been playing with).</p>
