ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

OK, I’ve got the MS Office beta, OneNote beta, InfoPath beta and Publisher beta installed. It wasn’t overly difficult and ran into only one small problem. Outlook on first start needed me to reinsert the Office CD in order to create the first “welcome message”. It was ok 1 minute later. Activation took about a minute too. Not a bad start at all.

Of course the nice weather on a Saturday afternoon is calling, so I’m going to put working with this stuff on hold while I maybe do some reading out on the porch with a nice cold drink…

More later.

    We’re testing a new bit of software at work, because we really haven’t been happy with our current vendor’s level of support. Given the fact that we told the salesperson of this new vendor that was why we were looking at their product, wouldn’t you make extra-double sure that when you sent us download instructions…

    I got an itch to do something tonight, so I created a nice llitte 2GB partition on my old Win 98 machine and installed Red Hat 7.1. I know it’s not the latest version but it’s the one I’ve had laying around for a long time, meaning to get it installed. The installation was fairly…
