Windows 7

With the memory upgrade in place I decided to try windows 7.  I nuked my Linux install from my desktop computer and installed the beta.  My first impressions are very mixed.  So far it seems to be useable.  I do like the default wallpaper.  It is blue with a fish in the center … a beta.  I don’t like the fact that I can’t change the start bar back to the classic view.  The start bar that was introduced with XP is just too clunky.  I will use it for a while and see what I think of it.

Desktop Memory Upgrade

I just upgraded my desktop memory from 512 megs to 2gigs. So far everything seems to be working. I am glad that I finished that. I have had the memory sticks for about two weeks and just got around to putting them in. I am not sure why it took me so long to get around to it. It took less then five minutes to open up the case, remove the old stick, install the new ones and close it back up.

Back to ubuntu for now

THe loss of my job necesitated that my computer be compleately usable. I got very frustraited with arch and having to install every little app so I went back to ubuntu. Ubuntu gives you all the applications that you need to get started.
