Perfect Gifts - For parents & grandparents

2009-11-15T23:19:00Z

Well it's getting to be that time of the year again. The smart people have been anticipating what their friends and loved ones want for Christmas and have most of the shopping already finished, while most of the rest of us have waited to do our shopping, and still more will continue to wait till that last week or even that last day right before the big day. If you are reading this blog then most likely you are a tech geek like me. When it's time for me to do some Christmas shopping I tend to get...(read more)

Windows 7 the savior....errrrr almost.

2009-10-20T18:12:00Z

Well here we are, just a couple days away from the big Windows 7 launch. Critics are abuzz, people are applauding, and it appears as though, even in these very early stages, that Microsoft has the first hit on their hands since the release of XP back in 2001. But is it really all it's made out to be? I think not. Now I don't want to start this off on the wrong foot. First let me say that I love Windows 7. I have been using it already for the better part of a year. First as a beta, then an RC and...(read more)

Why Apple?

2009-07-15T02:28:00Z

Why do people purchase Apples? Really, I'm seriously asking? A good customer of mine just today told me he was looking for a new laptop. He told me he wanted an excellent performer with decent battery life. It also had to have a 17" screen and 1tb of hard drive space. I raised my eyebrows, not being very sure I could fill his request and told him I would try. Not long after he told me he was considering a Mac. If I am not mistaken I think he even called me right before he walked into the Apple store....(read more)

AT&T and Port 25 - No Mail For You!!!!

2009-06-09T22:25:00Z

AT&T and Port 25, no mail for you and you and you!!!!! So only my 2nd blog post this year and it's my second blog post aboutAT&T. Don't get me wrong. I like AT&T, I have almost all of my services through AT&T, home phone, DSL,Satellite TV, Cell Phones and the list goes on. I have so many AT&T cell phones, and so many different entertainment packages from AT&T that it's normal for my bill to exceed $500 on an average month. As much as I like AT&T, no company is perfect,...(read more)

Think All 3G Networks Are The Same?

2009-03-03T22:57:00Z

Ok kids, so it's been a long minute since my last blog post, but those of you who have looked at my blog in the past know I only post when I find something truly compelling to post about. Well here and now I have found one of those truly compelling things to write about and I have been waiting to do so for a couple weeks now. 3g networks, they can really suck sometimes. Yup, I said it, and I will do it again, 3g networks can really suck some times. Now some of you are reading this and thinking "what...(read more)

Kids, forget Windows. This is Linux.

2008-08-06T04:50:00Z

Remember the good old days? Remember back in the early and mid 80's when big company's like IBM and Apple would stock schools with their computers to get their names out there and more known? Then remember how IBM turned it's back on education in the early 90's and soon schools were stocked with Dells, Gateways, and other brands? And then remember how IBM sold off it's entire consumer lineup of desktops and laptops to Lenovo only a few years ago? You see that's what happens to the big names when...(read more)

The Great Laptop LCD Screen Scam!!!

2008-07-25T03:38:00Z

The Great Laptop LCD Screen Scam!!!! Hello everybody, sorry I haven't written anything for so long. I usually only get the urge to write in my blog when I discover something truly outrageous in the tech world, or when I feel I have a bit of info that could help others when it comes to there computers. Lately I have had nothing to say, that is, until today. A customer of mine who purchased a laptop from me back in Feb of this year recently came back to me wanting some warranty work done. You see the...(read more)

Why my blog looks the way it does.

2008-04-11T14:40:00Z

Ok kids, I just recently received an email from an Eggxpert asking me why my initial blog post only has a few words or a short paragraph followed by a link that says "Read More" and the answer is actually very simple. If you navigate to the main page of my blog you will see all my posts from the last 6 months or so. There are two or three pages of them to go through if you really feel like it. I noticed after I posted my first four or five blogs that on my main page, each entry would display the...(read more)

XP SP3 - Not Soon Enough!!!

2008-03-19T04:53:00Z

Well in my last blog post I talked about my recent positive experience with Vista Ultimate 64bit. Now I must talk about a negative experience I go through nearly every day with Windows XP. When was the last time you installed XP from scratch? Being that the bulk of my job is fixing peoples broken and messed up computers, I tend to install Windows XP from scratch pretty often. A year or two ago when I would do a full new install of XP it would usually mean about 85 updates including all hardware and...(read more)

A Vista that works!!!

2008-03-17T16:52:00Z

I recently had a very enjoyable Windows Vista experience. Despite all of my previous notions about the operating system, it is possible to use and really enjoy Vista if the system it is being used on is designed well. Read More...(read more)

CPU List - From best to worst.

2008-03-15T05:22:00Z

Often times I am asked by my customers which processor is the best and which is the worst. It's a hard answer to give. So that being the case I am going to try something pretty bold here. I am going to try to list the most popular CPU's on the current end user market from best to worst. Now I know this list may meet with some debate from various fanboys and CPU geeks, but I don't mind, let the debate roll. I personally am an AMD fanboy, but I think I am old enough and mature enough now to know even...(read more)

Bad Hard Drives - How to diagnose, clone & repair.

2008-03-12T15:56:00Z

Often times when a computer slows down it is not a virus or spyware that is causing the problem. Sometimes it's memory, sometimes its just an old installation of Windows that really needs to start over, and sometimes it's a hard drive that has gone or is going bad. In this post I go over how to determine if your hard drive is going bad, and how to fix the problem if it is. Read More...(read more)
