[OT] New toys, new problems?

Greeting, carbon units!

I just went crazy (again) and got me a new PC.

After years of upgrading my existing box piece by piece every so often, I 
wanted to take the other route and got me a brand PC.

I bought an Acer Aspire M3610, which has an Intel Core 2 Quad processor,
and 
comes with Vista Home Premium (and some assorted software included) 
preloaded.

Naturally, there don't seem to be any physical copies of Vista or anything

else that was installed  - instead there's some bare-bones documentation 
that doesn't really help at all, and a few blank "recovery" DVDs.

Still figuring out how I am supposed to make a backup of Vista. :-/

Anyway, just sharing this touching stuff with you dudes/dudettes. If any
of 
you have Acer stuff as well, I'd love to read what you think of it. Any 
experiences, horror stories etc. :-)
