Feedback

Hi Guys... I've been listening for a few shows now. I write alot of the
fake commercials Casey runs on SciFi Surplus.

In your last show, you commented on Netbooks and their return rates. I've
been looking at Netbooks for a while now, and what I keep coming back to is
that it seems the ones with better specs come with XP by default. So, when
we think about return rates, I'm wondering how many people are buying
Netbooks with a Microsoft OS, nuking it, and installing Ubuntu or something
like that?

The reason I don't already have a Netbook is because the price gap between
a mid-level Netbook and a low end laptop isn't much at all, and I can't
decide which would be the better purchase. I wonder if you or your
listeners have had any experiences with Netbooks that really makes them
stand out versus a cheap laptop?

Keep up the good work guys!

-Bob

Forcing Windows 7 Adoption

How to Resize (Shrink) your Partition in Vista

Let me guess, you’ve downloaded your copy of Windows 7, and you want to dual boot. Maybe you’ve heard that you can re-claim unused space on your hard drive, and you want to know how. Heck, maybe you want to see what the big deal is with Windows 64 bit.Well never fear, here’s a quick guide on how to reclaim some unused space to use for a shiny new partition.
