It has been a while since I have written about my recent hardware upgrade. I have it pretty well setup like I like now. The purchase has been a great success. I could not have touched what I bought for less than $2,000 and I got it for less than half that including upgrading to [...]

I have been busy working on the new PC. After a shaky start, it is running like a champ.
I am actually happy that I resolved the Microsoft Vista problems and re-installed it. I have applied all maintenance through SP2 and it is running very well. I must say that I like it better than I [...]

I was looking to find a USB Bluetooth adapter to try on my Linux system. I found the best price yesterday at Acer Computer which is in the road that runs by the side of the Mitsubishi dealer.

I had friend ask what it would take, for him to move to Linux. He was having some problems with his Windows XP system and was tired of the aggravation. I decided to go take a look at his setup and see if he was a good candidate.
The first thing I did was ask why [...]

I recently received an email for some advice about getting support for a problem with an iMac. This was a relatively new iMac and it had gone on the funk. The individual lives in Chiriquí and was wanting help in David.
I advised them to talk to Arte Graficos and see who serviced their equipment. I [...]
