So, at 12:45 pacific standard time, I set out on my Journey to install and see the beauty that windows 7 was supposed to be...

1:00 I started gathering my supplies on my external and spare hard drives

2:52 The transferring of important data is finished and the installing of windows 7 began...

3:12 What is this? It needs an activation code!?! alright now where did I set that thing down at....

3:21 AHA! Found you! XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX.... ERROR?!? How could this be!!!

3:25 After reading the code to my self over 30 times I found out an O was really a 0... Well onto the install!!

4:00 Finally the beaut.... Wow, no internet... No games... Weird UI.... I've been duped!!!

4:11 Now where is my windows xp install disc...

5:01 AHA!! here it is... but there's a weird goo on it... God what am I to do?? *Licks sleeve* there we go good as new...

5:15 Windows xp is installed and ready... Ahhh relaxation... home... life is good, now for some music.... ahem..... MUSIC NOW!!! ..... *Birds chirping outside* Staring out the window I told the birds to goto heck and stop singing.... Now where are my sound drivers.... NOT THERE?!?! GAH!!!! (Note: there was considerable swearing and one of my neighbors called the cops during this whole escapade.)

5:39 So, Mr. Asus technician guy, you're telling me, that you don't want to help me cause you get off work in eleven minutes.... Well goto heck!

5:52 .... Might as well look online... No connection... hmmm... *checks the system folder* no LAN card... Whats going on... Checks inside computer case... LAN card is lit up and there is a connection to it...

6:00 So Verizon Technician Abduhal Vazerik, you're telling me you don't know how to fix my problem?? Well then you can have a nice day.(These guys have it hard enough without a Jack A like me telling them to goto heck.)

6:22 SCIENCE DAMNIT WHERE THE HECK ARE THOSE DAMN DRIVERS!!! RWAAARRRRR!!!!:wall::wall:

6:30 Finally... Some drivers.... Wait... not compatible with your processor.... SCIENCE DAMNIT!

6:31 Finally... Everything is installed and my music is calming me down.... TIME TO TELL .ORG!!!

6:34 Wow, verizon you suck, now I have to install your cruddy program just to access the internet...

6:42 Title : I'm back from a land of mystery.... and peril...

Windows 7? What's that?

Windows 7 is the beta form of new vista. It looks really pretty, but it's a pain since it's not compatible with any of my old files. I can't wait till its officially released. From my brief foray into their lines, it seems great, just not... compatible.

Had a mini lan about 2 weeks ago, half of us were using Windows 7. Copied straight to and from the PC's running it via our network and USBs. Hell, it even ran the original Unreal Tournament acting as host to an XP and a Vista machine!

Looks amazing, except its hard to navigate still :laugh4:
