So, I am avoiding doing homework to update my blog. Not the best move, as I know my professor doesn’t read this. That said, I had to post an update. As you may or may not know, I am a bit of an Apple Fan Boy. Mind you I have used mac’s before mac’s were…
All Mac OS, but a few different things
So, I’ve been trying to use the whole launchpad in Mac OS 10.7 and it’s kind of a pain. I like the iOS feel to it, but it has a ton of Adobe junk that I never use. I was reading something on Macworld about how to fix that issue, so I will have to…
So, here we go again
Hey everyone, I know, I know, I won’t apologize this time. It’s been a bit of time eh? So, what’s new, MAC OS 10.7 came out. I am waiting to buy it. I’m not sure of the whole no DVD thing. Apple and Macworld say it’s great, but I will wait for 10.7.1 to…

Again with the updates
So I am still waiting on the DVD drive 🙁 Purolator can’t even find it right now. I think their site might be down for maintenance or something. I am yet to even fire up the htpc yet. I might do that tomorrow just to make sure it posts then fill in my rebate forms……
HTPC wireless keyboard and mouse test
So, Got a big box of parts today in the mail 🙂 everything but the dvdram drive. The big thing that I was worried about was the kingwin mouse and Targus wireless keyboard working together. Right now testing on the laptop with win7 64bit seems to be working. It will take a few days to…
