Hello Everyone,

I just finished installing the final version of Windows 7 Ultimate, also known as Windows 7 Ultimate RTM (Release To Manufacturers), on my Acer Aspire One Netbook.  In addition to a flawless installation experience, I am delighted to report that Freedom Scientific’s JAWS v10.0.1154, a software screen reading solution for the blind, runs beautifully on this, the final version of the world’s premiere personal computer operating system. 

So, JAWS users, when Windows 7 is released to the public on October 22, 2009, go ahead and update, live, laugh, love, and above all else, enjoy.  (Big Smile)

Hello My Light Hearted Lessees, 

Why buy when you can rent? That’s the question you should be asking yourself before handing over that credit card for a new D-SLR, or wondering whether you’re ready to buy a house.

Renting is always a good option because it lets you try before you buy. You don’t have to worry about late fees when renting DVDs, or getting to the bookstore before it closes for that textbook you need for class. In addition, renting lets you use an item for just the weekend, and even gives you access to items that may not be available elsewhere.

Hello Everyone, 

In my previous post on the accessibility features of the iPhone 3G S, instead of linking to the current User Guide/How To section of the Apple Support site, I inadvertently linked to the iPhone archived documentation section.
