Cruisin' Right Along

posted Tuesday, October 31, 2006 11:59 AM by mitchell

Guidance Automation Unistall Issues

posted Thursday, August 10, 2006 9:11 AM by mitchell

AdSense by Google

posted Sunday, May 14, 2006 8:46 PM by mitchell

Vista on Virtual PC

posted Monday, December 12, 2005 2:25 PM by mitchell
So, I tried installing Vista on Microsoft Virtual PC 2004. After an initial hiccup, everything was installed...but it ran dog slow. I'm fairly sure that my hardware just isn't up to spec to run it in a virtual environment. So I guess Tablet PC's can't Read More
