I have, the last few days, spent numerous hours replicating WinXP OS on this Fuji laptop onto a VMware virtual system on the new Toshiba laptop. When finished, I will have backed up the Fuji, so I will FORMAT it and re-install a new WinXP system from the virtual system from the Toshiba laptop onto the Fuji laptop and everything should work, right?
BTW, I had lots of problems SENDING emails until I removed Kasperky anti-virus. When I installed it approx 30 days ago, everything was fine, then email sending just kept getting more and more problematic until I removed the program and everything is now OK.
Anyway, that’s what I’ve been doing, so I can have it finished before we leave for Peru.

I think that I’ve finally succeeded in generally having the ‘look’ that I want for this blog. I worked for days to figure out how to produce a ‘rotating header image’. Having been a programmer for many years, I can certainly understand why object orientated software with unit testing is now being produced rather than the old procedural software. WordPress PHP code is like spaghetti — very hard to follow and frequently problematic if one makes changes to the WordPress or theme code.
So, it seems that here in Ecuador, you are paying almost $38/mo for a guaranteed 12.8Kb, $65/mo for a guaranteed 25.6Kb and almost $80/mo for 51.2Kb during peak hours. When are peak hours? Generally from 8:30am to 5pm or 6pm. Minus the 3 to 4 hours of electrical power outage every weekday and internet gets quite expensive here in Ecuador.
Yesterday, I spent almost all day trying to locate open source software which would bypass iTunes for my touch iPod.
The day Windows 7 was released, October 22nd, I purchased a light-weight Toshiba laptop with 2GB RAM and 320GB hard drive. It comes without a DVD unit so I also purchased a Plextor external DVD burner.
