I’m thinking it’s something in the water…or the latest updates from Microsoft.
Several people I know have been complaining about how slow their systems have been running. A few of these systems I have worked with for years in some cases and they have been doing fine on a budget type setup all along. [...]

Pulling together left over parts and a few Craig’s List purchases, I have a “box” now up and running on the Microsoft Windows 7 “Release Candidate 1.” I’m using the 64bit version of the operating system so I can take advantage of more [...]

The goal is to have all 2996 [...]

I just read this article in the Wall Street Journal. A coffee shop owner saw something: People came for the free WiFi, but…they weren’t really helping to keep the business paid for.
That’s not just in New York, I’m sure it’s everywhere.
When Starbucks and Borders and Barnes and Noble and MacDonalds put in WiFi, [...]
