Sophia is Her Name

So, as some of you know, I have always paid homage to the proud, if geeky, tradition of naming my computers. For the most part, I've stuck with Omoikane (the ship's computer from Nadesico), as I've always replaced the older model with an upgrade. But I'm now faced with a 1st time issue: I own 2 computers that I use on a regular basis. My PowerBook and my Pavilion lappy. It would be confusing, at least to me, to have 2 Omoikanes (and not really fair to the PowerBook as she came first; yes, they DO have their own personalities!). So I've named the Pavilion Sophia. I really like the name, aside from listening to the Cruxshadows song a lot lately, and since Jill and I have pretty much decided on Abigail if we have a girl, I have the option of using it. The other name I liked was Viola (I've always thought it a beautiful name for an instrument, if not a person). Anyways, over the weekend, I slapped another 512 Megs of RAM in Sophia as well as a Draft N card for wireless (figured it wouldn't hurt to future-date a bit). She's running very smoothly, and I plan on giving her another 512 with the next paycheck. I am looking towards Vista in the not so distant future. Who of you has Vista? What has been your experience? I'll just be getting Home Basic (the on-board card in Sophia is only 64 Megs falling short of supporting Aero). I usually make it a rule to wait until SP1 is out to upgrade OSes, but I really like what Vista offers. So, thoughts?
