Windows ate my desktop. After the 3rd time someone asked me a question about Vista, I figured I had to add it to my knowledge base. Talked my favorite retailer into a free copy, he knows I butter his bread & why, & installed it. Now, my basic computer is only 3 years old & was rated as second best @ that time. I'll admit that some of the inner components, TV card & video cards are 10 & 8 years old respectively, but they worked fine with XP Pro.

Before I even got to tell it where the drivers were Vista crashed due to a fatal hardware error. Which would normally not be a problem, boot up in safe mode install the drivers go back & install. Wrong. Once Vista starts installing you can't do anything else. You can't go back & cancel the process, you're stuck in a loop. System crashing because of hardware drive error. No way out.

As a parting shot, when I attempted to re-install XP Pro the computer took a swan dive jumbling the boot sector of the hard drive and wiping the bios off the motherboard. Left me with a doorstop.

So I'm back to my 90's era laptop with a double boot linux (original system) & windows 2000 Pro (it was free & it works) which is good for watching and writing, but editing videos? No way!

Now, into the circle file.

Long Time No Post!

Basically moved myself over to YouTube. Setting up my camera & letting my rants flow is just so much easier. An additional benefit is knowing not only that my views are being shared, but actually subscribed to and commented on. Here, I've always felt like I was ranting in the dark with an audience of one. Me.

I reckon what I should be doing is embedding my videos here in case YouTube gets wise and kicks me off! Like my life isn't already full enough.
