Yeah, I’ve been nonexistent with posting for a few days. There are a number of reasons. I have had no luck whatsoever in getting the main site up and running – I am not a programmer and the folks I have contacted have either not responded or been unable to help. I am now at the point of having to call the hosting company and seeing if they have any ideas for getting the .com site back on line.
On the home front, I have been fighting with my daughter’s Vista computer. That required a total reinstall of her operating system. I’ve also restored a couple of other home computers from a free trial of Windows Home Server (WHS). For about $100 you can get the OEM version of WHS and turn an old computer into a home server that automatically backs up your other Windows computers. (Windows XP, Vista and 7 all work.)
The WHS saved me a lot of time on the reinstalls. It also has a long free trial of 90 days. They have also dropped the price recently. I think I see a pattern. I suspect that when Windows 7 debuts, the push from Microsoft will be “buy a new Windows 7 computer and turn your old computer into a home server.” (That’s how I’d do it.)
Yeah, this is a rambling post.
