First , the movies from the big savings shopping trip. As reported , the losers - Hercules and Aeon Flux. We used to use a fishing from Japan called Aeon super-monofilament. Good line , so-so movie.
Now to ' Pacific Rim , directed by Guillermo Del Toro. Oops , $8 was too much for this one. its available in 3 D for a lot more money.
don't do it - unless you're dying for sensory overload and your 3 D outfit cost so much that you ahve to use it more.
Action galore , pretty thin plot line , so thin GDT explained it all in two ticks.
Rating for PR 0.5 / 1 Redbox value system. The cute Japanese girl gets an 0.8 / 1.
Weather : its called reprieve from winter's hoary blasts. Temperature is somewhere in the 45 to 50 range this morning. to-night back to 35.
Our mayor will be back in the news , they've released more police video tape and wire tap recordings. Robbie called the sports station in Washington to talk football and referred all other inquiries to his lawyers. Get used to it Robbie , those lawyer dude will a living off you.
On the computer front. the virus called Better Surf which focuses ' pop up ' ads on your computer seems to be gone. I 've removed it twice so hopefully its gone for good.
Unfortunately , the symptoms other than pop ups is the slow cycle time and the e - machine laptop is still slow.
Then the big laptop as our main computer. well , we're almost used to it by now.
Positives : As fast or faster than the desk top it replaced.
The desk top had all sorts of little slowdowns , it could be lightning quick and then would balk. Probably , related to the bogus Windows program that came installed.
I saved all the data including bookmarks. As mentioned , we haven't gone back to get any bookmarks. Guess the bulk of those bookmarks were non - essential.
And except for photos , I haven't even needed the letters etc. that were saved. That situation could change in the future.
The slots for the CDs and DVD s are easier to use. And there is the slot for SD chips on the side - don't need to feed an USB cord into the camera and the computer.
Also , jumped into the New Age of Geekdom w/ the second hard drive that I bought for storing " important " data from the PC.
Mostly , we now use the thing instead of taking it out to check for updates. Originally , the 17 in laptop was for travel and and would eventually replace the desktop. The 17 in came more powerful and already surpassed the desktop when it was bought.
The Pentium i 7 is till pretty good. and Windows 8 is supposed to have problems all its own .
Negatives
It still has wires poking out form the sides. I'm taming the situation but there is a limit as to how much you can hide the wires.
What to do with the PC tower. anybody need a big doorstop.
We lost the 19 in screen , however , I think Mr 19 is going to QMH to use when the e machine is in use up there. I hope ' little e ' can power the 19 in screen or whatever.
From the domestic front M , really never caught on to the picture postage that I ordered. I guess her friend and I basically broke down and told her. Otherwise I was doomed to rooting around in recycling looking for envelopes w/ the personalized stamps. Another cute idea buzzed , oh well , we try..... and try and ...............
