OK I figured out what to do with the new computer when it comes. I am going to let it stay a windows box. I will then get the data off of the gateway laptop, which is about 2 years old and windows starts to take a dive at that time. I will then convert[…]

Well the eMac has come and I have setup it up. It did a great job of getting all my files off of the iBook, even the setting and program files came over. So I went ahead and deleted all the music and photos off of the iBook to save some hard disk room on[…]

It is done, all the mail and all the contacts are now in evolution. The mail is moved. The only thing left on the windows box is quicken stuff, and games (which I don’t play many of.) The question now is when the other intel comes in should I let it stay windows (since it[…]

Well lookout, is not letting me finish moving my mail. I has stoped copying my email to my imap server. I guess it might have figured out that I am not going to use lookout, and you know how MS, is, lock the user out of leaving if posable. Well I will get my email[…]

Boy do the makers of slackware make it ever hard to get a copy of slackware, it took me about an hour before I went to the slackware chate room on the freenode irc servers, to ask for where I could get one, so now I am killing my bandwidth downloading 2 ISO’s right now.[…]
