While it is prettier it isn't as nice as the old one. I could look at my status with just mouse clicks before. But I don't have to look at it anymore thank goodness.

Also my wife called to tell me DHL had her package. She will be picking it up tomorrow. I see a light at the end of the tunnel! Hope it's not a train! :p
