Windows 7 Beta 1 Upgrade Complete

As of a few minutes ago I finished haphazardly upgrading my HTPC to Windows 7 Beta 1 (Build 7000).   The short story is that things went smoothly with very few exceptions.  

Details to follow tomorrow/later today…possibly even with videos, just like last time.

I Can’t Find A Screw Driver

I can’t find a screw driver. Philips, flat-head, or otherwise.

And just why would I need a screw driver, you ask?

Well, I will answer that question. You see, my life is not complete without many hobbies and trivial pursuits to keep things interesting. So I invent ways to spend too much money on toys. The toy of this month is a media center.

What is a media center? A media center is a computer that is built solely (or primarily) to be used for playing media, whether it be TV, DVD, music, or photos.  I have decided that I do not use my desktop computer often enough to justify just letting it sit in the corner. It is relatively powerful and it would be a shame to let it waste.

Thus, I bought a media center case that looks quite like a DTS (audio receiver), and an HD card. (HDTV, baby).

But I can’t put it together, because I can’t find a screw driver.

And I’m too tired to go somewhere that has one.

And it’s just as well, I’d probably break something in my tired stuper.

Alas, I go to read my book, Catch 22.

Love,
Clifton
