April = Fix-the-damned-PC-month

Ok. So we now have four computers working at home: the new desktop Blackbox, the old desktop Whitebox, the old Compaq Presario laptop-turned-desktop, and my lovely little Azusa. That is not to mention one or two laptops my uncle brings when he goes here to sleep on weekdays.

Still updating tons of stuff on the Whitebox. The only thing I don’t like about old operating systems is that they’ve got tons of updates post-installation. Else, I still like Windows XP’s stability and hardware support. Though I’ve got Windows 7 64-bit working flawlessly on the Blackbox, it doesn’t quite support the old laser printer we use, no thanks to Canon for not providing drivers past Windows 2000 (though the Windows 2000 driver works for XP).

Next up for fixing is this Presario I’m posting from. Super slow and my old partition isn’t quite fit for the job. It’s got a measly 60 GB of storage, so I think I won’t be dual-booting this like before. Besides, I got Azusa for my Linux computing needs now.

I wonder whether this post should go into my tech blog instead. :-/
