The True Story of The Internet
Times like this I really need TiVo or Charter’s DVR. Last night I was flipping through the channels, and I stopped on Discovery when I realized they were running a special about Google called Download: The True Story of the Internet. The special was all about the startup of Google, and I saw some very interesting stuff.
I watched the part where Excite totally turned down Google when they were approached to buy the company for $1 million. That’s laughable now that Google’s worth is in the billion dollar range. I would have loved to have watched the entire show, but I tuned in late, and my eyes were closing on me.
I would have loved to had the chance to watch the entire show, but oh well. The next two episodes look pretty interesting, too. The March 29th show looks even better.
This is the story of the internet has changed society and how a new breed of entrepreneurs are shaping our digital futures.
I wonder if that one will have anything about bloggers in it?

How To Grab A Free Copy of Windows XP Professional
Are you one of those unfortunate people who just purchased a new desktop or laptop that came with Vista already installed? You’ve discovered you hate Windows Vista and wish you could go back to Windows XP? (If you actually like Vista stop reading here.)
I do run my own home based computer repair business, and I’ve had many customers complaining to me about how horrible their computers run right out of the box. I give them two choices. I can tweak Vista for them, or they can go back to XP. So far all of them have chosen XP except one person. That one person brought his computer back a couple weeks later asking me to get rid of Vista for good.
I promise you, you’re not out of luck. It’s easy to get a free copy of Windows XP Professional to replace that crappy Vista, and I know this for a fact. We’ve tried this and been successful each time.
What you need to do:
Call the computer manufacturer. Yep, that’s it. Call them, and tell them how horrible you think Vista is. Tell them you would have never purchased the computer if you had known Vista was so horrible, and you want a copy of XP Professional. We’ve tried this 5 times now, and each time we’ve received an XP Professional disk in the mail within a couple weeks.
