American Chopper and Windows 7

What a great combo, right? Normally I like to have the TV on while I'm doing work at home. It gives me some nice background noise that's always changing. I know most people prefer some type of music, or some other thing, but for me, the TV or a movie seem to work best for me when working on systems.

Anyway, here I am, Thursday night and American Chopper is on. I haven't seen this show in about a year...apparently I missed somethings...Jr. no longer works at OCC, holy crap! The show has lost some of it's luster though since there's no Jr and Sr fighting, now it's just kind of strange...oh well, I guess that's just how it goes.

Now onto my current obsession, Windows 7. Been using it about 3.5 weeks or so and it's still freakin' awesome. I don't really think I've come across many new or great extra features that I haven't already written about before, but the performance just still blows me away. The boot-up time, from the time you press the power button to the time you get the login screen is WAY faster than Vista every was and I'm pretty sure it's a bit faster than XP. The time it takes to get from the login screen to a fully loaded desktop again is WAY faster than Vista (we're talking half the time of Vista.)

Ok, that's about it...tomorrow's Friday and then it's a 3 day weekend...can't wait!
