You can now order, for free, the SP2 on CD from Microsoft. This is great for people on dialup, have multiple computers or need a backup of the pack. Once I get it, I’ll most likely install the service pack. Hat tip:cheeaunblog
This PCWorld.com post tells that you can take your old tech gear that has been collecting dust to a Office Depot and they will recycle it for free. Many places charge for this service. I have know this for awhile, yet still I haven’t gotten rid of my stuff. Time to throw out the old broken monitor. I better hurry, the deadline is Labor Day.
I know the service pack has been out now for awhile. I have downloaded it, but I would rather wait awhile before I install it. Why? Well the list of programs affected is growing. I’ll wait about month before installing. This will give time for the software vendors to update the software to work nicely with SP2. Maybe I’ll wait until I get the CD.
Or should I say Dream Team. Yes, we did not send our best to Athens. Yes, the international teams have gotten much better. Still, how can you lose 92-73 to a team that is not even in medal contention. It was terrible watching the game. Most of the players looked timid, shots didn’t go down, and Puerto Rico shut down Tim Duncan, the team’s best player. Everybody knew winning the gold would not be easy, but can we even medal?
Sidenote: It was great seeing the highlight of Manu Ginobili’s last second shot to help his Argentina team win their game over Serbia-Montenegro.
