Been putting together one of my old computers for Alia to use. She's a complete blockhead (Minecraft nut.) I wasn't able to put Windows 7 on it due to the age of the BIOS. What I read online seemed to point at The Borg (Microsoft) making a change to the boot record of the DVD to prevent older computers (no matter what their power) from running Windows 7. It's quite disappointing as the system is fairly robust. Makes me wonder whether the business model of always requiring new hardware/software is sustainable for long. The last and current generation of hardware would seem to me to be quite sufficient for 90%+ of what a computer is used for these days. Especially with most common apps moving to web services. There's bound to be a sustainable business opportunity in there somewhere.
Here's a laugh for including in your next play list. --> Lullaby Renditions of Kiss.
Just finished listening to the whole thing as background music. Must say I enjoyed it. Now on to Lullaby Renditions of Foo Fighters.
Ha!
Been playing EverQuest II this weekend. The addiction never really goes away, one little taste and you're back in bondage. It's insidious; I was even considering signing back up to pay. Just one more quest...
Neone, Alia, and I have been taking a 3hr+ hike most weekends for a month now. Been picking them from AMC's Best Day Hikes near Washington, D.C. 
Alia suggested it become a weekly event, which is interesting because she usually moans and groans during the first 30 minutes of any sojourn.
