So last night I got home around 8pm, in the snow storm we were having. One of my neighbours called and asked to come over and watch a show because their satellite was down. Their neighbour had the same problem.
Is ExpressVu really that vulnerable to snow and rain? Are the old cable TV ads showing [...]
Would you pay for a I-Tunes subscription in which you could put any music you wanted on to your Ipod? There is a rumor that it might happen.
Would you go for it?
My first thought is that it is a great deal! But then I think about the fact that I don’t listen to that much [...]
Well, I did it. Yesterday I installed Vista SP1. Why? Well I have noticed an issue in the last week where my powered USB hub would stop working correctly. I thought that maybe the update might correct that occasional hiccup. Time will tell.
