Updates Somewhat Varied

Just finished the installation of SP1 for Vista. It was in the Automatic Downloads from Windows. Downloaded quickly, installed smoothly and there have been only good results so far. Machine shuts down and starts up in a more efficient manner. I'll keep you posted if any problems arise. Microsoft apparently cured the problems experienced early on; now if they'd only get rid of that PITA Steve Ballmer.

Attention ZBoard users. Don't let that May 22nd date fool you on new drivers. If you are running any flavor of Vista they are still using the version 2.3.0.19. So stick with your present driver if you haven't updated. They had issued a new version (2.5.0.18), but are now advising everyone to roll back. You'll know that you have a problem if you receive a DMDMO1 error. Read more about it at Ideazon. Wish they'd get busy and cure the call target problem after sleep mode! I love some ZBoard though!

There is a new SetPoint version 4.60 for Logitech G5 mice. Be sure and do a search by image since there are several versions of the G5. It's a hefty download too. 54.2 megs, and that's a whopper for driving a mouse. IMHO, the Logitech G5 is the absolute best mouse on the planet. It'll coast ya at least 50 bucks and it does have a mouse tail. Yep it's wired, not wireless. The Zboard is wired too. It's a small thing when it comes to performance. The G5 download page is at LogitechSupport.

Enjoy this great national holiday. Memorial Day is so important to our nation. If you know someone in the service of our country get in touch and tell them, "Thank you!" They are keeping your butt free so do something to show appreciation. And if you see an old Vietnam vet, give the poor soul a hug. They came home to a very cold welcome from anti-war protestors and flaming nancy liberals. They still had the draft back then and many were forced to go.

"They died for liberty - they died for us. They are at rest. They sleep in the land they made free, under the flag they rendered stainless, under the solemn pines, the sad hemlocks, the tearful willows, and the embracing vines. They sleep beneath the shadows of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine or of storm, each in the windowless Place of Rest. Earth may run red with other wars - they are at peace. In the midst of battle, in the roar of conflict, they found the serenity of death. I have one sentiment for soldiers living and dead: cheers for the living; tears for the dead."
