"so basically you're trying to format your drive and reinstall vista?
use GParted to delete the partitions. i THINK it can read Mac OS X partitions so i think it will be able to delete them. then use your Vista recovery dvd.
good luck."

Longhorn replied to Mtsully17's discussion 'why not to use "eye candy"'"uhm. when i used linux, i ran Compiz-Fusion and it performed at the same speed with and without the effects. the same with Aero on Windows.

Longhorn replied to George Burgess's discussion 'Alternatives to iTunes'"i think Songbird could work. i know Winamp works, but it won't work with the iPod Touch or iPhone. remember, you're friend will still probably need iTunes if he has an iPod Touch or iPhone for OS updates and junk."

Why I Think the HP Slate will Fail.
Posted on April 12, 2010 at 12:25pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
hello again =D. i did some googling on the upcomming over-hyped HP Slate. I Honestly think this device will fail and here is my main reason. remember, THIS IS MY OPINION. you might not agree with it.
Windows 7. yes you read that correctly. I'm not an Apple fanboy, I love Windows. but really? Windows 7 running on a 1.6Ghz Intel Atom with 1GB of RAM on a 1024x768 display doesn't seem logical.Windows 7 itself would run decently , but remember, this is an OEM computer, so i will guarantee… Continue

First Post/Gateway Sucks
Posted on February 27, 2010 at 2:09pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
hi =D. i finally decided to create an account here so...here i am.
I also want to talk about my experience with Gateway.
So it all started when i got my laptop for christmas last year. I thought it was pretty good for what i would be using it for. It worked fine for about 6 months. Then the problems started. First my charger stopped working. I didn't think it was a big deal because i could go get another. So that's what i did. Then about 2 weeks…
