October 16, 20214 yr comment_272904 Time to start doing the layout for the cabinet doors in the media room and get the raised panels glued up. Also getting the truck prepped to leave on a camping trip Monday morning. We are going to Capitol Reef National Park for four days. Paul Report
October 16, 20214 yr Popular Post comment_272908 Finally buttoning up mother's shed. Good thing she's a patient woman! The pergola and other exterior touches will have to wait until next year. The weather is turning on us as I type. But still no frost on the extended forecast. I'm older now, but I'm still slow! Report
October 16, 20214 yr Popular Post comment_272918 Still working on the theater set. All day Friday and all day Saturday. Help is not showing up. Two more work days before move-in. Hope we can make it. Still a lot to do. I think there are 29 pieces that we need to make. A lot of the big ones are at least started. Report

October 17, 20214 yr Author comment_272932 Got the old laptop setup for dual-boot XP 32bit/W10 64bit. Replaced the zif-pata 60gb hdd with a 256gb msata ssd from a broken ipod. Made a big difference. Also dug up one of my old Logitech trackballs. That crazy touchpad was driving me nuts. Like that would be a long ride. Report

Ok, the Honda Diagnostic Software requires Windows XP, but XP isn't so hot for internet use anymore. So at startup I tell the computer which operating system to boot into. I suppose that made it as clear as mud. Report

Like that would be a long ride. Struggling now to get the “new” pc ready for W11. Brand new mobo requires a TPM hardware header key to enable the security feature. The chip shortage has made them extremely difficult to get. Have one on order since August. Really don’t want to do a registry hack to install the OS. Report

Requires partitioning the Solid State Drive into two partitions, then loading the first operating system on the first partition and the second operating system on the other. In this case I've got XP on a 60gb partition and W10 on a 180gb partition. When the system starts it asks which operating system I want to run. Report

It will be at least a year before W11 will be even remotely safe to use. M$ doesn't have a great track record when it comes to new OS releases. Give it some time for bug fixes and security roll-ups to become available. .40 Report

Not really impressed with what I've seen of W11. Might have to brush up on my linux skills. Edited October 17, 20214 yr by Larry Buskirk Report
