In my NOS class (boring easy stuff), I see a lot of people now showing up with the new mini laptops. I found it quite strange why someone would want something so small. Now that I was just looking at the new Acer one, I like it. It seems like something good to have around since it is nice and small and is quite fast. The new Intel Atom seems to hold up to the Core 2. The only downside is that it doesn’t come with a CD/DVD Rom so it’s much harder to setup an OS. So that’s my 2cents for now. If I actually come across some money soon (na, likely to never happen), I will think about getting one.

Also, I found out that this X-Mas I am getting a Blackberry. I’m very excited about that. It’s going to be a Curve 8310 in red which I have no idea why I want it in that color. It will make it much nicer to post on this very blog, just to keep you guys happy.

I was talking to my professor after class with another class mate Thursday. We BSed for a while about random computer related things. So while talking, some how we ended up finding our way to the main datacenter in the college. If you did not already know, I go to SCCC or for the long island noobs, Suffolk County Community College. Anyway, he ended up bringing us into the datacenter. I really do not know how he trusted us to go in there. I wish i got to take pictures but I ended up forgetting to bring it. Than again, I did not know I was anyway. I brought my camera this time just incase.

You really have to see what hardware this college has. From my memory, they have an IBM Z-Series Mainframe, two of the old IBM terminal system which very soon they are going to replace, and a full rack of Cisco VoIP servers that run every phone on this campus. That’s not all though. It also had three or four racks of HP DL360 servers, another rack for the data storage, another rack with a SAN with 14tb of space, and two racks of just the routers and wireless AP servers.

Wow, that was alot of typing.

Anywho, if I get pictures of this awesome room, I will upload them for everyone to check out.

Well I finally had to try it. I installed vista buisness on my laptop. Lucky for me I have a 2nd hard drive that I swap back and forth on this. Well this all started with me trying it out on my iMac. After really playing with it, with all the updates, it seems that it has come a long way since it first came out. A few hangups but nothing bad. Remember, since its a relativity new operating, its expected to have a few problems here and there. Overall it is much nicer than I ever thought. There are plently of things I wish they would have just left alone, like the dam network settings. Anyway, ill make this an on going thing to just test it out for a long time. Lets see if it can live up for what I use it for.
