Thoughts So Far

> There are some glitches. But those are gfx driver realted and they may

>
> I have not had any problem with hardware so far, that means the Point
> of View 8800 GTS 640MB works fine if you download the 64 bit drivers.
> The SB X_FI had some problems, it refused to install drivers from the
> cd saying this OS was not quite right. But downloading the driver from
> their website was easy enough and now it seems cool.
>
> I installed Neverwinter NIghts 2 after having it here for 6 months
> waiting for this PC to happen. But EAX isn't avalaible for enabling.
> Look into that later.

> Total Commander is fine. I should reread the problems it hasd because

>
> Everything is very fast. Netscape Navigator opens fast as does

> via my old XP to Vista and it nees little installation, it just works.
>
> I have to say I sisabled that useraccount thing to avoid those popups.
> I am old and wise and know PC's and threats well enough to be able to

> Soon I will install two Worlds. see how that looks. NWN2 is amazing, I
> tried it for fun on my old FX5600 but it would hardly run. Now,
> smooth!
>
> Now I must see to my Eudora email. When that runs, I am a happy dude.
> That is vital to me. Already migrated my mp3 files with some more to
> be burned to DVD-RW so i can move the lot.
>
> And than slowly but steaily, seeing what old software I really need,
> want and see what works. Much will fall by the wayside. But I got my
> old PC right here so...
>
> No printers tried out or my old Agfa scanner. I don't use it much. The

> will let me use it :-)
>
> It seems benign enough.

> Knick on wood cause something is bound to piss me off today...after

> And that Areo stuff, very slick. And the flip 3D cool. Wasm't turned
