Hell Has Frozen-Over – I bought a Macbook Pro

October 24th, 2008

My old PC laptop served me well, but….

I loved my Acer Ferarri laptop when I got it two years ago. Fast, good looking, lots of features like a card reader. It has served me well. When I got the Ferarri, it had Windows XP preloaded on it. I immediately wiped it and installed XP fresh. Ran great for quite while. But a few months ago, I decided that it was time to wipe XP and reload it again, because it was starting to slow down (as windows does over time). This time, I decided to give Vista a shot, since it works OK on some of our other systems here at the office.

More after the jump.

Windows XP Service Pack 3 Launched Today

May 8th, 2008

I just updated my Windows laptop to XP Service Pack 3 this morning and I haven’t had any issues with it. The update went pretty smoothly, but the Windows Update site was a little slow to download from, since there are so many people updating their systems today. In fact, my Windows Update program didn’t automatically do the update – I had to run Windows Update manually. No doubt Microsoft has to break up the scheduling of the updates so that their downloads aren’t too slow. If you are impatient like me, then you can run Windows Update manually and you will get SP3.
