So, after, playing with Tiger and Leopard (Mac OS X 4 and 5, respectively) and installing the RC of Windows 7 on my PC, I have gone back to using LINUX.

Hardy has been out since 2008 and is not the most recent release (I think there are two ahead of

This is a podcast I did for class. The content may a little on the academic side but I had fun making it. Actually I used a screencaster for Windows called Camstudio. It is OpenSource and saves video output in .AVI, or .SWF by default. 3rd party software is required for conversion to other formats, though so see this help page for details.Video Podcast

This past week I converted an HP G60 from its original Vista install to an XP Pro SP2 install - this, despite drivers no longer supported by HP, RealTek, or Intel for XP on this model.1) I backed up the divers from the Vista install (located in the SWSETUP folder on the C:\ for HP computers). This is important because you will slipstream the SATA drivers (you are looking for "ich9ide.inf" in

I will be trying to build a Hackintosh, documenting every step of the way.

Watching Microsoft bungle their way through the woeful and clunky Windows Vista saga was both entertaining and frustrating, so what can we really expect from Windows 7?Quite a lot, as it turns out, at least in the early going.
