Blackberry Bold

December 8, 2008 By Robert Owen

I've gone and done it again... Changed phones, that is. Last year, after loosing my Blackberry 7100g to a tragic water accident, I purchased the Samsung Blackjack. At the time I thought it to be a great, great phone. Well, needless to say, things started to break down. To avoid a long story, I went through 3 warranty replacements and one warranty "upgrade" (they upgraded me to the Blackjack II) none of which were any better than the other. So, rather than continue to flounder with … [Read more...]

Remote Desktop Slow in Vista

October 16, 2007 By Robert Owen

I am using my Vista Ultimate machine primarily now for day-to-day work.. And everything is running quite smoothly to be honest. No crashes, no freezes, no spyware.. Everything is great. I help manage SEVERAL servers across my WAN and use Remote Desktop to great effect. But, last week a new Server was added. I logged in with my trusty Remote desktop to start setting up an SFTP server. Only, this time everything was WAY WAY WAY Slow... I mean I was waiting a good thirty seconds between clicks. … [Read more...]
