September 11th, 2008 By pelokee Leave a Comment

For the purpose of this discussion, an ISO file is a single file representation of an entire CD worth of data. You can think of a *.ISO file much like a *.ZIP file. You download one file, but that file has to be extracted in order to get to what you really want. In the case of a ZIP file, you'd … [Read more...]

AVG Antivirus Free – Product Review – v8.0.169

September 9th, 2008 By pelokee Leave a Comment

AVG was a completely new product to me when I first installed Vista. Of course, my existing version of Symantec Antivirus would no longer work on Vista, so I had to look elsewhere for some protection.

Nintendo Wii – My first year in review

September 4th, 2008 By pelokee Leave a Comment

I admit that I got caught up in the hype of the Wii last year. They were so hard to get and they were great fun when I stumbled into a household that owned one. (Feel free to look back on my gleeful post from last August when I first got my Wii.) During my last visit to Costco, I noticed that they … [Read more...]

Gear Review: Electrolux Home Care Products Pronto™ 2-in-1 Combination Stick and Hand Held Vacuum

August 8th, 2008 By pelokee Leave a Comment

We just moved into a small apartment in the city (1200 sq feet!) which has all hardwood floors. We have a few throw rugs, but more importantly, a cat that seems to shed much more in the city than where we lived last. At any rate, we left our old upright vacuum at our old house and moved into this … [Read more...]
