It's the first week of President Obama's administration, and newly-minted White House staffers aren't that happy with their digs.

It's not so much the job, it's the technology. They miss the state of the art, entrepreneurial, free-wheeling spirit of a campaign.

Instant messaging? Nope. Wireless. Nope. Private email. Nope.

Welcome to the White House!

Atari

One staffer likens the predicament to the difference between an X-box and an Atari.

Although the technology has changed in the past few years, we wanted the same things at the Bush White House. Didn't get it. But we did eventually get Microsoft Outlook and flat screen monitors.

And hey, President Obama was able to get a BlackBerry (with a lot of restrictions), so that's a move in the right direction.

TV

Well, you still get TV sets, guys. And they'll all be watching the Sunday news shows this morning.

Biden on CBS

We think they'll pay particular attention to Bob Schieffer's Face the Nation. That's where Vice President Joe Biden is heading.

Schieffer says they'll talk about Biden's recent trips to Iraq and Afghanistan and a look ahead to what he sees are the toughest issues.

We're assuming Schieffer will bring up Jill Biden's assertion on the Orpah Winfrey show that her husband could have had either the vice president job or the secretary of state position. And we're guessing he'll question the vice president about the ill-received joke Biden made last week as well.

CBS Face the Nation is the winner of the desert island question. If we were stranded on a desert island and could only watch one Sunday morning show, what would it be? (We're well aware of the faults with this analogy).

Here's the lineups to the silver medalists:
