Well I finally have most of my home network updated. I managed to get my print server up and running as well as my network printer so all is well. I managed to get things reorganized and I am really happy. It has taken me a while with work and life going on.

My computer situation at home is getting better these days. I have bought a refurbished E-Machine AMD machine. This is a new one for me because I always purchase Intel chip set based processors. Well this machine is fast and flies.

I have managed to get most of my core software installed.  I need to solve an email issues as well as get a few utilities installed that I use on a Semi regular basis as well as setup some virtual machines

I have discovered the key to Vista - purchase a machine thats primary operating system is Vista. Do not upgrade an existing machine to Vista it will be a pain.

I am taking my existing home pc with a new Hard Drive and setting it up for my GF Kelli. Her old pc I will be setting up as a print server.

All in all it is coming along great:)

Normally I fix computer problems for others at home and at work. Well it seems I have a pile of issues going on.

I just finished reinstalling my Mom’s office pc. It was corrupted. Now I need to see if I can recover any data from her old hard drive.

The hard drive on my main machine died. It is a good thing thing I use Carbonite as a backup service. I also have a NAS box so I am saved.

I also need to fix my network Multifunction printer.

What fun this all is.
