It has to be Microsoft! It’s always Microsoft. I’ve been thru this drill before. I did an XP repair ng. It just doesn’t see the WAP. Maybe I’ll try an UBUNTU LIVE CD and see if it SEES the wap. In trying stuff, without touching ANY hardware, I triggered Microsoft’s Activation. I knew I didn’t like it when I heard it. I really suspect some Microsoft Update crap. Can’t prove it but I’m suspicious. Maybe I need to say good bye to Microsoft once and for all. Then, one have to decide if it’s Linux, the Web, or something else.
TECH: HOMEDESK is still in trouble. Can’t get it to recognize the WAP.

TECH: “CARDSCAN” aka Rubbermaid has “new” stuff coming. (Hmmm?)
Wednesday, August 9, 2006Dear F,
It seems that the good news about CardScan just won’t stop. And neither will my pleasure in sharing that good news first with our most loyal customers. This time, I am eager to tell you about the latest developments in CardScan technology – the new CardScan Version 8 products.
New scanners, even more effective software, and a totally new product, aptly named “Team”.
I think you’ll be astonished at just how different the new Version 8 scanners are from the ones you know now. They’re sleeker and altogether impressive. But your real delight will come when you experience improvements to our software, like the new navigation bar, the new export template for Apple iPod, better-than-ever drag-and-drop and de-duplication features, and many enhancements requested by our users. And I think you’ll find “Team” a terrific addition to our line – and one that will help your team do its work better, faster and more effectively.
Watch for our special “current customers only” advance notice.
In the next week or so, you’ll be receiving a special email offer from us. In it, you’ll get your first glimpse of the new CardScan Version 8 products – and a special, limited time offer to save when you upgrade to Version 8. I hope you’ll be as excited about the new products as we are and that you’ll take advantage of the offer. And, as always, if you have comments or suggestions about CardScan, feel free to contact me directly at pweyman@cardscan.com.
Sincerely,
Peter Weyman

TECH: “MOZY” got itself kicked to the curb for bad behavior
Wednesday, August 9, 2006MOZY was in the running to displace the XDRIVE now from AOL. I don’t like to reward bad behavior so I have been entertaining replacements for AOL’s XDRIVE. And, MOZY was certainly in the running.
HOWEVER, today it took itself out of the running.
It did an upgrade on itself and, when I didn’t allow it to restart the platform, (thanks MSFT for a crappy architecture), it seized 98% of the box and wouldn’t let go. Eventually I had to restart costing me a30 minutes of my life, what I was doing at the time, and loss of position (i.e. all the balls I was juggling dropped).
So in recognition of the PPP, I uninstalled it. Arghh!
