Greetings everyone. Feel free to look at anything you missed the last couple of days.
The Guru's technological center has undergone a major upgrade in the last 24 hours with the purchase of a new state-of-the-art laptop because of problems concerning the one that's served us the last several seasons.
Think like the ignition isn't turning the car motor on. -- it's a hardware issue -- all software is safe.
In fact, the previous unit got jealous immediately and startedwhen we got home from Rutgers, allowing us to begin grabbing favorites, programs and other data, including the vast music collection, and move it on to an externa hard drive to place in the new unit -- yeah, web cam, entertainment center, all the bells and whistles not counting a blue ray dvd that won't play commercial blue ray dvds.
This will avoid to emergency write-with-the-blackberry rescue effort we used during recent games at Rutgers and other local schools. And the laptop will additionally serve the troops well on the road with its entertainment functions.
We've also been figuring out the five-thousand tie situations involving our local la salle team's ability to survive to advance to the A-10 tournament.
We broke the new laptop in with Rutgers coach C. Vivian Stringer getting her 800th win, working on the fly with total inexperience using windows vista.
Fortunately, Stephen was on hand with enough knowledge to get the Guru operational.
So, we'll be back later in the day or sometime Friday night with the usual and more concerning the NCAA projections, etc.
By the way, as the crowd was busy chanting C.V.S. after Stringer's achievement the Guru thought the scene would have made a nice TV ad for the other nationwide pharmaceutical operation with similar initials.
