An Old XP and a Seadragon

==================================
Buying a DELL
With Vista,
This Christmas?
Give Me The
Old Horse Instead, thank you.

I'll Pay the Surcharge...
==================================

For the New Price of $150 bucks surcharge,
DELL will switch the

"Nobody-Loves-Me" Vista

to the still preferable XP.

==================================

This Move makes it easier to consider a competing OS like Apple, or "Heaven Forbid" Linux.

I just recently switched over to Mplayer on Linux, being a long time supporter of Videolan (also known as VLC).

You know the one with the caution cones as an icons like the ones above.

Anyway, lately VLC has not been playing Nice with my recent upgrade to Fedora 8 and 9 (desktop, laptop) so I tried Mplayer and found out quite alot has changed since I first used it. many years ago.

And speaking of changes in programs, I also recently switched from Amarok music player to Banshee music player and I'm very happy with it as well.

========================
And of Course, the Dark Knight is
STILL breaking every
Box Office record in History.
Approaching 300 million
in 10 Days???
========================

And the critics were right about
Heath Ledger as "The Joker".

He was mesmorizing.

Bye Bill, Bye XP, Hello Pixar

Last Friday was Bill Gates Last Day at Microsoft.

Today, Monday June 30 is
Windows XP's LAST DAY.

If you need it tomorrow, you have to buy Vista First and then Downgrade to Windows XP.

However, those prospective computer buyers absolutely unwilling to embrace Vista do still have a few ‘last gasp’ options open to them when it comes to legally taking receipt of Microsoft’s seven-year-old operating system.

One solution for business customers is to purchase either the Ultimate or Business versions of Windows Vista, both of which allow the user to perform a software downgrade that reverts back to XP Professional; while another ‘out’ is to purchase a computer from the ultra low-cost sub-notebook hardware category (think the ASUS Eee PC), to which Microsoft has granted XP an initial two-year availability reprieve.

The old operating system will also be made available through January 31 of 2009 via small custom computer system builders.

Pixar's newest CGI Movie "Wall-E"

keeps the tradition going of Opening at number 1 at the Box Office.

Variety has the Numbers:
