Use any version of Windows 7 free for 120 days

So the Geek is coming out today. I subscribe to a newsletter Windows Secrets and received the following artical. I thought it interesting and may have some interest for a few of my readers... (all 2 of the 7 of you!)

I am wanting to try the new Windows 7 as I have heard that it is far better than Vista ever was.

(Also just bookmarking for later use!)

musicMagpie

I stumbled across a website that will buy your used CDs from you. Musicmagpie shows you the value of each by simply entering in the bar code off the CD.


I entered a few just for grins. The first two were one's that I recently purchased and they are only willing to give me about 4 pounds for them (that's $5.84 USD) I used this currency converter.

This Is The Time Where I Hate My Job

Just to cover my ass here, I will not say anything viable to or crucial to the company I work for. I mean no harm. I will make every effort to not say anything that is in violation of company policy.

I know that it has been months since I posted, but I have (no excuse) been really busy. I have finally got the job that I always wanted and I am actually really hating it right now.


Several hundred people have been laid off from the company I work for in the passed couple of months, and I have to be right in the middle of all of it. Now that I am in the IT Dept. (Computer Tech, Support Specialist, the "it" guy, the PC Geek.... what ever you want to call it) I have to be one of the ones that secures equipment when that person is "Let Go".


I am having a real hard time dealing with this since most of these people I have known for many years. I have become friends with these guys and know what their background consist of.


I know there were families that have newborns at home, were finally making there way back up out of the hole that they dug just to stay alive; to single dads that finally were able to provide insurance for there kids that were actually able to see the doctor for the first time without having to worry about the bill; the mother with 3 kids that got away from her abusive husband and started a life in a new home; a regular family that got excited about buying a new washer that actually cleaned their cloths, cut down on their electric bill and help save the environment....All of them just lost their jobs. All of them, might very well loose everything else...


I walk into the office and start taking apart equipment. I look at every one's faces and see nothing but fear. Scared, teary eyed zombies just stare in amazement. I carry out the the tin boxes that hold valuable information and all I can say is... nothing....nothing....


I walk back in to remove the remnants of cables and wires. Three women stand huddled, sobbing softly together. One women reaches up to the face of the other and wipes away a tear and says, " Just remember, God brought us to it he will bring you through it." I walk away with a tear in my eye...
