Wow, am I ever glad this is almost over. I thought with the release of Boot Camp 2.1 I wouldn’t have any problems installing Vista 64 on my 2007 MacBook. Think again. It was time to get past the 3G barrier of 32 bit Vista because I really need the VM capacity. If it weren’t […]

Read MoreDuh. And to think this came from Apple. Well, RealTek, actually. Seriously, though. Let’s take a lesson from this. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. My wife reminds me of this frequently so I admit to being guilty of this from time to time. Like the bed I made for us when we […]
