Last Monday of the July 4th week was a sad day....
It was the day that Microsoft officially announced that they would no longer sell Windows XP in ANY of the computer stores. It would be very hard to get a new version unless you go to Ebay or private sellers now.
People now have no choice but to go to Windows Vista now to upgrade their computers. All new computers will come with Vista preinstalled.Write Comment (0 Comments)
I was going to write a blog earlier today, but I wasn’t able to because of the extreme heat in the house. Temperatures have reached over 109 degrees in my area over the weekend. Too hot for a computer to be comfortable and work right.
I got a mysterious box of computer parts this morning, and I have no idea where it came from or who dropped it off at my door. It had motherboards, modem cards, ethernet/network cards, and other computer stuff. I have to figure out which is what in each box, and see if any of it still works.Write Comment (0 Comments)
I recently (this last weekend) helped 3 people with their computers. One was training a friend how to use his new Apple Macbook. He had never used os X before. So I showed him some of the basics. Write Comment (2 Comments)
I use my computer for everything.... gaming, photo editing, music, videos, movie rentals, word processing, research, e-mails, internet, updates, etc. I have seen a pattern with all my friends, coworkers and strangers when it comes to using a computer.
My passion is computers. I can't help myself when I am around any computer. It is my temptation to fix or see how I can improve any computer. Just the other day, I was trying to fix a problem with a friend's Toshiba Satellite laptop. Write Comment (0 Comments)
I've recently played with and learned about the new Mac OS Leopard that just came out last week. There are already problems people are having with installations, and bugs. Which is to be expected with a new OS. Write Comment (0 Comments)
I've heard rumors of A Walmart Linux machine, but have not seen one yet. You may not like Walmart, but they have the means to bring Linux into the mainstream, which is what all the Linux fans are hoping for. That means better hardware support for Linux, and more software developers will get on the Linux bandwagon. It will only make Linux better and give computer users a 3rd choice, instead of only Windows or Mac.... I know of people who don't like either one..Write Comment (0 Comments)
Things have been crazy here because of the fires burning all over the place. I have had some breathing problems, and burning eyes from the ashes and smoke in the air. I need to recuperate indoors for the weekend. Write Comment (0 Comments)
I am reading everyday about the latest changes in the computer world. From Apple, to Microsoft, to Linux I am keeping my finger on the pulse of the electronic world. Much has happened in the last few months! Write Comment (0 Comments)
In this respect, to me, Apple and Sony are the only PC makers that are getting it right. I feel more calm in a friendlier atmosphere at the Apple stores or at SonyStyle. More one on one interaction. Less chaotic. More fun, like an electronic toy store for adults....Write Comment (0 Comments)
I've been interrupted by many demands from several friends who are continuing to have computer problems. Just when I fixed one problem, a completely different problem pops up! Last night, I helped a friend with a brand new HP Vista Media Center computer... setting up all his software, updating everything. Setting up security programs, antispyware, antiviruses...etc.. etc. Write Comment (0 Comments)
I was asked by a friend to come solve an Internet connection problem with an older G3 iBook. I was able to solve the problem, and made sure that all the right patches and updates were installed on the computer. Took a while, but it was worth it. Write Comment (0 Comments)
At this moment, I am updating and repairing a friend's Compaq laptop! It is only 6 months old! I am tuning it up, getting rid of spyware, updating the antivirus programs, etc! Write Comment (0 Comments)
