The Vista Issue

Blue Ribbon version 2.5 (which is the version that we are using) is not Vista-compatible. If you buy new computers with Vista, you'll need to leave an older Windows XP machine set up somewhere to run Blue Ribbon until we transition to a new program.

If you're pretty good with computers, you can set up your new Vista machine to remote desktop to the "Blue Ribbon computer" and thus run Blue Ribbon without ever leaving your desk!

DO NOT get adventurous and load BR version 2.5 on a Vista computer. Even if you can live with all the locking up that it causes, neither of us is going to be happy about how it irretrievably damages your data files. Nuf said.
