NO!! Boy, this is such an opportunity for deception (see this article, 3/4 of the way down), and I don’t like deception. The myth is out there — you need a new HDTV before February 2009. The cable companies and TV stores, I’m sure, aren’t going to try too hard to talk you out of […]
As I posted last week, XP is here to stay, so the war won’t be as fierce as I first thought after June 30, 2008. However, you still have to make a decision — XP or Vista? For home users it will be difficult to get XP, since Dell will make XP available on business […]
I’ve had getting a passport on my To Do List for about a year now, and I wanted to get the application done. I visited the Passport Application Wizard, thinking it would make the process very quick and easy. I almost always use Firefox (2.0.0.14) now, and this was no exception. I went through all […]
Microsoft’s .NET Framework 3.0 (actually a subsequent automatic update to it) causes some HP printers to have some large problems and Microsoft has been unwilling to care or do anything about it. I believe this will cause some major problems in the future as it becomes necessary to install .NET 3.0. I’ve seen it on […]
Well, my prediction is wrong already (Summer Predictions). I can see clearly what will happen now. Microsoft will not extend the deadline, June 30, 2008 will be the end of OEM XP sales. However, Microsoft does allow downgrades to Windows XP (see this Word doc) if you own Vista Business or Vista Ultimate. The big […]
For some reason widescreen monitors are all the rage, so that’s primarily what the stores are selling now and almost all laptops now have widescreens. I suppose that the HDTV-look influences it and just because it looks cool and new, etc. However, I think that the sizes that are advertised are deceptive. For me, and […]
Please, consumers, do not take your purchasing advice from Best Buy sales people… It has been the myth that you must buy a new digital TV before January 2009 (I’ll blog about that another day). Now sales people are pushing Wireless-N routers. I was looking in a sales circular lately and it has FAST (Wireless-G), […]
[NOTE 4/23/08, please make sure to read “XP is here to stay“] As I blogged in my previous post (Xpublicans vs. Vistacrats), I believe this is be a contentious summer for the IT industry. I want to go on record now with my predictions of what will happen. With lots of kicking and screaming in […]
I’m posting this for the benefit of the Word 2007 world. I spent a lot of time trying to fix a computer in which the spell check would not work in Word. For the benefit of searchers, here are some other word combinations: word 2007 spell check not working, spellcheck off, fix spelling. Here is […]
It looks like just when the Presidential race is heating up with the Democratic nominee fighting against John McCain, another divisive race will be heating up as well, XPublicans against Vistacrats. Another race with conservatives against liberals, traditional vs. cutting edge. It will be war!http://ceoec.ru/ July 1, 2008 will be the beginning with everyone taking […]
