Amazon Bulk HD Shipments

I’m not one to argue about HDs and the way they are delivered (since they are fragile by nature, and should be taken care/packed nicely), however this bothers me. Last week I ordered a bulk HD from amazon and I needed it to come next day (was building a system for my friend). Not only was the HD late cause of shipping issues, but it was shipped in a tiny box with virtually no padding in it. I could only image if this was shipped via standard shipping (ground) what it could have looked like.

Luckily I tested the HD out full (took 3 hours or so) and it had no issues. Next time I think I may go with the egg no matter what the price.

Take a look at these pictures…(taken with the iPhone 3GS)

Internet Explorer 6

Well, I always been a big fan of Firefox for the longest time, and I still am. However some things don’t really like Firefox and I have been hesitant to upgrade IE6 since it just “works” a good percent of the time at work (web application issues). However it appears I may have no choice to upgrade. A few sites, from what it sounds like, are going to stop supporting IE6, and if thats the case – I am going to have my hands full upgrading a bunch of machines to IE 7 or 8.

Windows 7 RTM?

This week Microsoft has there WPC09 conference.

Today is day 2 an I was hoping to hear from Ballmer about Windows 7 RTM. However nothing has been said about it yet and I was very confident that it will be released the 13th or the 14th. However things never turned out as planned, and as the Windows Blog stated:

We are close, but have not yet signed off on Windows 7. When we RTM you will most certainly hear it here. As we’ve said all along, we will RTM Windows 7 when it’s ready. As previously stated, we expect Windows 7 to RTM in the 2nd half of July.

Oh well, it looks like we have to wait a bit more…hehe πŸ™‚
