OK. It’s winter, cold and there is nothing to do except sit in a pub or play with computers. Welcome to Canada in the winter when your really a beach bum at heart. I’m not going to talk about PC’s for awhile. I will give us both a break.
I love the letters O E M
Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate x86 (32-bit) DVD, OEM, 1-Pack $239.00 rather than $499.00 retail. I will be picking up a copy in the next week or so.
Here is the OEM version. A savings of $260.00……I don;t get the fancy box though

Crash……….and I don’t mean the movie
Last night Karen and I went to her Mom and Dads place for some Wine and to have a look at their PC which “gave up”. I took a look at it and the 40GB drive crashed. The usual Click, Click. I hate that sound. Anyway, I mentioned that I could install a new drive [...]

The End
Tomorrow is the beginning of the end for Karen and I using Windows at home. At least for our “everyday” PC. Windows Vista is going to finally be released tomorrow after a 5 year wait. That 5 years was just long enough for me to look at other options. We have decided to go with a new [...]
Movie Time !!!
Well The Media Center PC has been rebuilt one more time. I just need to image the OS drive to DVD in the event the whole “pooching” of Windows happens again. I came up with a solution for the soundcard failure on the system board. I have installed one of my spare SoundBlaster Live cards for [...]
This photo made me both happy and sad…..very sad
Click for a closer look.
This photo really got to me when I saw it. It was a time when the Radio Station was great and so where the people that worked there. I really miss all of the great people I met when I was in Cayman and I hope you are all doing well. [...]
Movie’s wanted
I spent most of Saturday rebuilding Windows Vista Media Center…suprise, suprise. I’m really turning into a Windows hater. I’m tired of the nag screens, failed applications, update reminders and contstant tweeking in order to get things working as advertised. If you want Media Center to work correctly then you cannot stray from the default settings [...]
Dog Park…..I would much rather take her to the river
So Friday I had the day off so it was a good time to take Molly to the park and run a few errands (spelling?).
This is a view of downtown from the Dog Park where it seems like most of the city takes their dogs to meet other dogs for a run around. Again these [...]
