18 Things We Did On The Computer Kids Today Will Never Understand – Buzzfeed.com
I have forgotten how wonky Microsoft products are. Doing maintenance on my wife’s computer which runs Windows 7 was at times frustrating. I guess because I have been running Linux for such a long time and I don’t use Windows much except at work. I guess after awhile you get used to something and it becomes more familiar to you than the previous thing you used.
The Internet giant is placing its bets on its new flagship browser codenamed Project Spartan.
As a long-time Linux user I haven’t used this browser for personal stuff for awhile. However many developers insist on using Internet Explorer for much of the applications they develop. I have to use it for work but that hopefully will be coming to a close soon.
Its incredibly frustrating. Fixing problems without downloading something is kind of hard especially when you don’t have administrative access. Thanks to those who post tips online to help. I have been with Linux for awhile and I haven’t had many problems with it. The bright side is that it tested my abilities to search for a solution.

Bill Gates: Control-Alt-Delete was a mistake
The Microsoft co-founder says the puzzling key combination used to access the login screen on personal computers was a mistake.
(My Take: Its a bit wonky the control-alt-delete but perhaps it makes you think before getting on your computer.)
On this date in 1995 Microsoft released Windows 95. Hard to believe it’s 18 years old. The first computer I ever bought had Win95 on it and it’s how I got on the World Wide Web. Microsoft has had some ups and downs in the last 18 years. Where will this tech titan go in the future?
It’s pretty sad that Microsoft is trying to act all cool and stuff. What’s up with that?
