As part of the reinstall of everything I installed the new version of Microsoft Messenger – version 7. It contains the option to let other people know what you are listening to in real time. And this being microsoft it also contains a link to an online store so that other people can buy what you are listening to. And since this is automatic it is what I am really listening to, not what I might tell you here.

With the update of the computer I also installed Nortons Antivirus 2005. This is an improvement, mostly from the user interface side from my point of view. It allows you to disable auto-protect for a period of time and automatically restart. This is a cute feature, when you are needing to move 20 GBytes from a known good HDD. Makes the copy move a lot faster.

I have now got most of the stuff up and running. Outlook is working. VisualStudio is running, and working well. I am still working out font size issues. The writing is now too small for some reason – now that I have changed the video drivers and everything else.

New TAPR WWW Site

The new TAPR WebSite is up. It has been too long in the making, but it is up now. Finally. I need to supply some content to it – I have cataloged a whole lot of PowerPoint files for it, and they need to be uploaded.
