After reading this recent post from GottaBeMobile about Ascii Express’s WebGuide 4 becoming free I decided to give it a try.

I’m a massive nvidia fan, always have been since they bought 3dfx all those years ago. They have a good reputation for producing quality components and also good quality drivers to back up those components. I recently purchased a 7600GS 512MB graphics card for my home machine.

Upgrade before SP1

For those of you who don’t know or haven’t seen (where have you been?) Microsoft have released three major new products, Exchange 2007, Vista and Office 2007 (aka EVO).
