musingaloudSo I am back from the depths of Hell illness (LOL, no, really, it wasn't all that bad, I'm just being dramatic, because that's what we do here on LJ, right?). And what, you wonder, was I doing all that time besides laying around on my ass backside? Um, well, there was a lot of reading done. And a lot of tv-watching. And um, not so much sleeping or eating. And -- no, not that either. Ok, so I didn't accomplish much. But I DID read! Expect the obligatory mini-reviews to come.
Oh, and I did finally install Windows 7 -- only almost a year later. No need to rush into anything, right? Now I see why I waited so long, it took 2 1/2 hours to install (it was an upgrade, not a complete new install) and then another hour or more to update all my drivers. And then more time trying to figure out why I couldn't get my Home Group going (still don't know why, but never mind, it's done now) and then more time today trying to figure out how to keep that damn "Locked" login screen from showing up on a resume from Hibernation, and THEN finding where my "recent documents" went to. I think I'm going to love the sticky notes thingy. Not sure the Snap thingy is working right yet, but I haven't played around with it enough yet. That was the thing I was most interested in, for comparing document versions.
I always meant to post this, too, but when I bought our new Dell desktop a while back, I also bought a new printer. It was only another $10 to get a wireless model (and I think it was only $69 anyway), and BOY HOWDY! am I glad I did. Love that. Before, if I wanted to print from my laptop through the network, the desktop computer had to be on. No more! I highly recommend it!
OH! And on my last entry, there was a comment made by a qedaagua that I hope none of you saw, because it was a spammer, and according to the email containing the comment, it was full of links and Russian/whatever script, which I'm sure doesn't mean well at all. I reported the comment, hopefully it won't happen again. Kind of freaks me out how they got to my little post that didn't even have any links or anything to it. I guess that stuff happens.
