He’s right

Hmm, JP seems to have a pretty good guess about what my opinion might be. Truth is, even with my geek soul, I don’t care what Microsoft calls their next operating system. I’ve never really cared about the name of any software. Call it whatever the hell you want, my decision to use it is based on how it works, and what people can accomplish with it. If the new OS is a tool that will allow my users to accomplish what they need to accomplish more efficiently, I’ll recommend it. If it doesn’t, I won’t.

Seriously, how many of you hardcore IT folks have time to worry about what they name it?

    You know, staying home and resting seemed like a good idea, until I noticed that the currently-vacant house next door is having some rather loud repairs done to it, and every recorded-message telemarketing firm in existence has decided to call our house this afternoon! Grr! Hopefully Jason remembers to bring the extra wireless access point…

    What is it, exactly, about Blackberry devices and water? We’ve had two users this week completely trash their blackberries by dropping them in water, one in a pool, another in the tub. Of course, the real question I should be asking is why can you not put the blackberry down for awhile? Seriously, relax in…

  • Question for the Gamers – How Will Non-Console Games Work with Data Caps?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    When I saw a recent news story about Google Stadia, and the fact that other console makers, like Microsoft and Sony, are seriously considering moving to an all online gaming platform, and away from selling consoles, I immediately began to wonder how that would work with ISPs that have data caps and charges for using…
