  • Add Bloat To Taste

    Actually, I hate the word 'bloat', but I use it now because it is bandied around quite a lot. According to sources, the next version of Windows will no longer include an e-mail client, picture viewer, and MovieMaker.

  • Canon Lide and Vista..

    Canon have now released an official Vista driver and ToolBox for the venerable Lide 30 (and all of the Lide range).

  • Wireless Networking Part 2..

    When I promised to report on the aftermath of installing a D-Link DWL G520 (series B) wireless PCI card into a Vista machine, I fully expected to write in similar style as I did to D-Link support, having had nothing but trouble when installed into an XP machine.
