AcerRacer is almost set up
Nov. 2nd, 2010 08:54 pmTo the point I am comfortable having the Acer Tech Support Courier pick up "Cheetah" for a Chipset refit.
My only problem is that I don't know if it's just going to be a chipset replacement, or machine replacement. If it's a machine replacement, many of my programs will have to be re-registered due to the computer having a different machine ID. I have emailed certain software vendors about this and only one has gotten back to me. I will 'remind' them again the day before Cheetah is picked up.
I'm not surprised, but it seems that it was Vista that was causing all the overheating issues and other massive problems with this computer.
Since I have been typing on a full sized keyboard, it's strange to be typing on laptop again. The action is a lot different.
Well, here's hoping Cheetah gets the refit and all will be well.

Planning and getting ready for the summer
Nov. 2nd, 2010 09:56 pmSaid g'bye to the pool I was using last summer. It has a leak in it, and at 12ft across, it's larger than what I really need so, instead of patching it, I am replacing it with a smaller one. 8ft with matching cover. Will end up using less water, too.
Decided to get the matching swimming pool vacuum cleaner.
Now, it's a matter of cleaning the back yard, making sure the area is level, then setting up the pool when it arrives.
