I’ll be in the workshop

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Yeah it’s time to crack open the case on that laptop and replace the hard drive. It occurs to me that of all the HD replacements I’ve done over the last few years of working here, this will be the first time I’ve done one on a laptop. That’ll be something new and interesting to put under my “experiences” list, eh?

Anyway, I’ll be over next door in my “workshop” most of the day, probably won’t get caught up on reading blogs until tomorrow, or Thursday, or, well, never. *L*

    I just went public with part of the intranet site. I pointed people to the webcalendar subdirectory and gave an explanation of the conference room calendar and how to use it to book a conference room. We’ll see what sort of feedback I get.

  • I’m hating Symantec

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

    Well last night I was REALLY hating Symantec, I’ve since cooled off a bit. A friend of ours purchased, and then tried to install, Norton’s System Works 2006. She thought she had a successful install, however when she restarted her computer, her new System Works immediately went into red stop sign mode, telling her that…

  • Question for the day

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I was writing up some thoughts for a friend about laptop recommendations last night and a thought occurred to me. Why not have a semi-poll? So here’s the question. All things considered, (price, features, dependability, warranty, etc.) if you had to choose today to buy a laptop, what company would you but it from? Dell,…
