...and it's only the very beginning of Sunday!

So my laptop has a new disk and a new keyboard. It feels like a new laptop. What should I install on my new laptop? Is now a good time to bite the bullet and go with Parallels or VMWare Fusion if I want Linux/Windows? Which do I want, if any? Also if I decide to resticker my laptop should I go with a theme other than "sparkly cats?" Or would that not be honest to the source material (that is, I like sparkly cats)?

Also Leopard's Terminal is still only eight colors. Someone Should Be Fired.

I use Parallels. It was pretty painless, but I needed to add more memory to get windows vista to run reasonably in it.
