It’s almost 7 PM! OMG!
LOL spent the the last couple of hours upgrading my computer to windows xp.
I know, I know, everyone says that it’s the most evil thing on earth but so far … it really isn’t bad.
Downsides:
* Any version of AOL other than 6.0 or 7.0 WILL NOT WORK with XP. This sucks because my version of 4.0 is always more stable than any other version of AOL and now that I can’t use it. Right now I’m stuck downloading a version of 7.0 on 56k. It really bites.
* It doesn’t like my sat dish modem right now. Not sure why. Going to do a clean install of that version of AOL later on tonight.
* Tons of driver updates are coming and I still don’t @#$@#$ know how to get the DVD patch to play dvds.
Upsides:
* The whole system FEELS cool so far. As much as I’m frustrated with it, I’m amazed that the thing seems to actually be learning how to run programs and what I like about my system. For example, it knows I like playing the little pinball game that comes with it. So the pinball is right there in my start menu. I don’t have to add it there. I like that.
* I didn’t lose my USB hard drive! Whoo hoo!
More in a bit but if you’ve been thinking of doing this upgrade, so far it’s really really cool.
