Well, I have finally ordered the hard drive! 750 GB of space spinning at 7,200 RPM, hopefully giving the speed I need to watch a video on my netbook without the continuous skipping! Also, I am getting rid of Ubuntu and switching up to Windows 8. a few week or so after we moved to America, the Windows 7 license declared itself invalid, and stopped booting. Thank you Toshiba! But with Windows 8 System Builder available from Amazon for $85, all I can say is Thank You Microsoft!
The switch back to Windows is an important one for me, as a blogger, because of the needed support for Windows Live Writer. WLW allows local writing and layout design that cannot be done on the web based blog editor that’s built into the blog’s back end.
I obviously will benefit from the greater storage for my photography too! But with Windows on the netbook, I will also be able to load Photoshop, and do some editing there as well!
I also found my software for my color calibration device. This means I will be able to get these monitors back in line, as soon as I find the device itself!
Two years post move, and I am finally getting my computing situation back to where it was just before we left England!
By this time next week, if all goes well, I will be blogging from any location again via my netbook, and shooting and loading photos as I go!
