Dell Optiplex GX270 update

The 2GB kit arrived in the mail today from the US. Just installed and working OK, for it's age the machine runs really well.

Since the 4GB memory upgrade the beast is running very nicely. Lucky for me Microsoft extended Vista to 2017 which is what it's running - Vista Business.

What are they doing ?

Telstra workers across the road in 'our' pit, fingers crossed for cable & phone services.

Balcony PC update

As posted last Sunday bought from the market, installed and cloned a Sandisk SSD Plus 240GB - all good. Anyway ended up with quite an array of drives (LOL) as Macrium Reflect just tagged every drive with a letter including system partitions etc. Did some cleanup in Disk Management to hide stuff (see picture) so we are tidy again. Next task was to cleanup the SSD as all the user data like docs, photos videos etc is already on (what is now) the F: storage drive - the Samsung 1TB. Note that all the apps including large ones like Office 2007 Pro will stay on the SSD and as you can see from the picture we have 145GB free.

Balcony PC tower upgrades

Balcony desktop tower PC upgrade(s) - the CPU swap from E5200 to E7400 which cost $8.60 went well, now it's time for a SSD so got a Sandisk SSD Plus 240GB from the market today along with SATA and power cables.

Downloaded the Apk file and installed directly onto the phone – works well.
