DSL and house wiring
It’s spring so I’m taking some time off, but I wanted to share an experience with you. I switched to ATT DSL and was getting a much slower speed than my 6MB subscription.

As many of you know, I drank the “Virtualization Kool-aid” very early so I’m a big fan. However, I’m not sure where this is going to go.

Well, I’ve been touting running Windows 2008 as a desktop for months. However, my latest work laptop came installed with Vista Business and I need to use it right out of the gate. Also, it’s an hp and laptops are notorious for being “driver challenge” with a new OS. Anyway, I finally completed the book and have a need to…
