Computer Room I completed an upgrade from Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) to 10.6 (Snow Leopard) using the $29 upgrade package. It worked flawlessly. Only one application casualty so far. No data loss. CS3 still works fine too. It has a pretty menu and freed up a few GB of disk space. Photo Booth does video now but I haven't encountered anything else terribly different yet. Admittedly I haven't been digging very hard yet.

Computer Room Thanks to some awesome help from Crystal (thanks Crystal!), we're caught up on our receiving backlog, which means the store looks full(er) again. We even have some new stuff out, including some Palm Pre accessories.
Computer Room Oh, I forgot to ask... I do some *strange* repairs. I've posted a few on my own FB page, and my non-tech friends make fun of me. I'm curious, would fans of our shop be interested in some of our less-mundane repair stories? What kinds of info would you like to see here? Send me a msg or just comment. Thanks :)

I still have Peter doing those because he's awesome) and am finished in a week or less (excludes special order parts, data recoveries, or those power repairs).

Computer Room We've been telling people for a while now not to do things that will get them infected (use IE, install LimeWire, etc.) because no amount of anti-virus can protect them from themselves. This article explains why.

Last week I saw a localized ad here on FB for the Wang Gang restaurant. The first FB ad I've ever followed, the link led me to a new locally owned, non-franchised restaurant in Edwardsville, IL (on IL-157, behind the Motomart). The Wang Gang is an upscale Asian restaurant at not-upscale prices...
Computer Room Kara posted on her wall that Limewire is the quickest way to get your computer infected. I would add that using Internet Explorer (and its companion, Outlook Express) is nearly as dangerous as installing Limewire. Do yourself a favor... Get Firefox, Go

We have a guest speaker for Wednesday's meeting. Dav Glass, former Carbondale SILUG member and cu...rrent Yahoo employee, got roped into
talking about his work at Yahoo while he's in town. Dav tells me "I don't do slides, I show code and examples. I'll talk about the different parts of the YUI framework, as well as our support of OSS with Git & Github." So this should be interesting for anyone who does development, whether web or otherwise...
