I’ve done my share of stupid things relating to computers. I learn by doing and that means I do break things sometimes. I’m remembering the time I deleted the DLL files to free up hard disk space.

I had stumbled onto a website today Winamp Skin Museum. This site brought back lots and lots of memories.. Back in the late 90s I had upgraded my computer from a 486 that couldn’t quite play mp3s to on that had some sort of AMD processor in it. I want to think it was an AMD K6. The thing that relates to this post is it could process mp3s. The computer also had a larger hard drive.

Microsoft is releasing a public beta of windows 7. Once I get my older hard drive installed in this computer I think I may give it a try to see what it’s like. Even though I rarely use windows at this point I need it for a few things like mapping software for our GPSrs and some other little thinks like that. Vista is on Molly’s laptop and I just don’t like that.

I see it it so many places and I just don’t understand why people have to try to make wars and that sort of thing out of which operating system to use. They all have their pluses and minuses and really in the end isn’t having multiple reasonable choices the best outcome? It’s great to have different options for different people who work differently. I just believe they all have their place.
