Review - Kaspersky Anti-Virus
9.0.0.313 Beta (Apr 20, 2009)

I have tried this and have had a few problems like system locking up and a few BSOD but it is Beta software so that is expected. I have been reading a few of the reviews of people and they are giving it bad reviews. To the ones that gave it bad reviews of it locking up their systems and not updating or working right. Does the concept of Beta excape you? Beta means that it is unfinished and that it is going to have problems and its not going to work right. I have used Kaspersky for years and have never had a virus or issue with a finished product.Kaspersky does not really support Beta software they take reports and send to the programers and have them look at the issue and fix it.
Review - Netscape Navigator for Windows
9.0.0.6 (Mar 9, 2008)

Its still good I am downloading it so one day I can show my kids. To bad AOL bought it and destroyed it and now has killed it. Oh well you can still get Mozilla the orignal Netscape.

9.0.0.6 (Oct 22, 2009 - 2:55 PM)

I have beta tested Win7 and have Vista mostly because my laptop came with it and when I tried to go back to XP some of the drivers weren't there. But have have had the full version of Win7 for about 2 weeks now and so far no issues. Even works perfect on my netbook's. It's new so I don't really expect it to be perfect until at lease SP1. It's not as fast as XP but its faster and better then Vista.

Well with laptops you can play games on, some new laptops are just as powerful as most desktops. Real estate agents will take laptops to people to show home listings. Kind of hard to show something on a netbook to 2 or more people. I go to lan parties and instead of dragging around a tower monitor etc I take a gaming laptop. When I go on trips I use my netbook as a GPS, with it I can download current maps and traffic info that most GPS don't do or charge you several hundred for. My Sony and Garmin both charge me $100+ a year for updated maps.

At the last black hat convention in Vegas the Mac was the first one to fall. Even BetaNews wrote about it.

I can't understand why everyone is so down on netbooks?
I mean if all you want to do is get on the net, check your email and do other little things like that why do you need a $600 computer?
I think netbooks are so popular is because people are seeing what they really use their systems for and do not see the value in spending $600 or more for a laptop, when they can get a netbook for under $300 and do what they want to do.
I have netbooks, laptops and desktops. When I want to play a game I use my desktop. If I want to check a email or something on the net then I use a netbook or laptop. Its just people realizing that they don't need a formula one race car to goto the store for milk.

Netbook, laptop or desktop they are tools and nothing more. You don't use a sledge hammer to pound in a nail, so why would you need a $600 or more system to check email? I bought my mom a netbook to give to her for Christmas because she does not need something to play WOW on or Crysis. She checks her email, gets some recipes off the net, IM's my brothers and sisters.

And really the whole Apple and PC thing is stupid its like "Oh I like Fords better then Chevy". Its just personal taste. I have Apples, Windows and Linux systems. Apples and PC's are the same only thing that makes them different is the design and O.S. I have bought HP computers and never had a issue with them and then bought a HP and it be crap. I bought a G3 system and had to replace it 4 times before it would work like it should.

The new iMacs just now have i7 processors in them. You could get quad core PC's for years and Apple is just now making them. iMac's do not have Bluray drives in them. Most high end PC's you can get Bluray drives.

The only good thing about Apples is their tech support is hear in the states, Unlike Dell were you always get some one from India. That is in my opinion why Dell is going down the tubes is they exported all their tech support to other countries.

I am typing this on a netbook right now because my laptops are on the other side of the room and my netbook is here in bed with me. I even use one of my netbooks as a file server. And as far as driver issues thats not Microsofts fault thats the hardware companies fault. If your old HP printer does not work with Windows 7 its not MS's fault its HP's. Most companies do not support their hardware for more then 2 or 3 years at most. I hate sounding even remotely like a MS fanboi but oh well facts are facts.
