I've been running Ubuntu for about a Year Now. I even upgraded Ubuntu 8.10 to Ubuntu 9.4 when usually I do Clean Installs.

But I was pretty comfortable with the OS to give it a Try.

Because it "Saved" the settings I had on the previous Version the Upgrade took Almost 7 Hours.

Still not bad considering the Older Hardware I'm currently working with.

About The ZUNE PASS AD...

---------------------------------

I told you Years Ago how much it would cost you fill up your iPod with 30,000 songs.

Let's see: 30,000 times 1 buck is 30,000 bucks.

Since I'm now a iPod Touch Owner. I still think that's a lot of money. But with free Internet Radio Gadgets, especially Pandora (My Favorite), I don't need to carry 30,000 songs where ever I go, and I bet neither do you.

But that's your choice.

I prefer the thousands of gadgets that you can download for "FREE" and make the Computer-in-your-pocket (Not a Smart Phone!) do ANYTHING.

The AD is on YouTube (isn't everything???).

Why the BigBopper is Better Than Bacon

BigBopper (AKA Wingman)

Bacon (AKA Canadian)

===============================
Why the BigBopper is

Better Than Bacon
===============================

Kevin Bacon is only "6 degrees of Separation" from Anyone Else on the Web.

Because of Social Networks like FaceBook, MySpace, Twitter, Flickr, Email and the rest,

I, The BigBopper (also known as Wingman) am only "3 degrees" of separation from MY Social Network.

In other words: I'm Better than Bacon.

What a relief...

Post -- 377 Windows 7 Gets Its Official RC Release

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

Can Windows Roll a Winner

with the Release of New OS:

Windows 7 Today?

Most Pundits, that have been Testing the New Offering

for a couple of months say it's a Winner...

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

Windows 7 Gets Its Official RC Release
Link: http://www.realtechnews.com/posts/6638

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

As promised, on Thursday Microsoft released the Release Candidate build (7100) to MSDN and TechNet subscribers at http://technet.microsoft.com. The fact that it’s been available on P2P sites for about a week should in no way embarrass Microsoft. :-)

Just to be clear, unless you are downloading from the aforementioned P2P sites, the build is only available to MSDN and TechNet subscribers. If you already have a beta key, that key will work. If not, Microsoft has previously said “not to worry.”

White House on Twitter...Isn't everyone???

White House on Twitter...

Isn't everyone???

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

Well go figure, now that my Sis is on the "The Internet", the Obama White House joins Twitter, Facebook and Myspace...

Sarah Palin joined Twitter during the Week too!

CSMonitor had THIS to say about the Events:

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

Forget the Atari -- White House now on
Facebook and Twitter The White House
on Friday announced newly established
presences on Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace.
(NEWSCOM)
=======================

Well, they’ve busted through some of that bureaucracy and legitimate security concerns and announced yesterday the christening of White House 2.0.

Social

That means they’ve established a presence on Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace. Early on they were able to slay the purveyors of “no” and got their YouTube site operational.

They’ve made an impressive debut on Twitter. Only tweeting 13 times thus far but amassing 61,000+ followers (slightly more than us). We’re assuming that’s a record tweet/followers ratio.

Although Sarah Palin has a pretty good ratio going as well. She debuted her Twitter feed this week and has 14,000+ followers with seven tweets thus far.
