I have been using CutePDF for about 6 months now. I used to use one by the name of PDFCreator, but I'm not sure if it still being supported. Anyways, excellent how-to.

It is interesting how you mention on step 5 to make stories of everyday events. Prior knowledge activation; pretty good

Awesome!!

Although, I like Vista to a certain extent, it is slower than XP and other OS's. I use xp, Vista, and Linux. Vista is slower, and your fix will improve it though; say goodbye to the eyecandy.
