Over the years, I have seen many reviews on hardware and software. Much of it is geared towards selling units, and it is often filled with technical statistics that mean absolutely nothing in real world performance.

In my opinion, we have hit a plateau where marketing generates sales more so than good olde engineering. Being a permanent member of the Geek Squad and overall cheapster, I have repaired countless machines for friends, and found many ways to MAXAMIZE an investment.

I am starting this blog in order to help you do the same. You Don't have to pay a lot for the computing power that your need! I have given away probably a couple of million dollars worth of equipment (street value) that just needed an inexpensive shot in the arm to people who could not afford to go out an buy the latest FXTHQ M1000 Plus Super machine.

The purpose of this blog will be to dispell the myths and give you the skinny on what a real value is and how to make your machines run longer and faster.

The opinions expressed here will be my own and will be based on real world experiences. I challenge you to challenge me as a move from one extreme to the other. PCs to Midrange. Sorry no Mainframe info will be posted here.

So sit back relax and participate!

First, I would like to thank the people who contributed to this blog and I want to apologize for leaving it alone for so long.

Quite frankly, I have been too busy to romp around my own lab. I also temporarily lost interest in blogging and have been working on some other projects with AIX and SeriesP servers, clustering and some pretty cool laptop stuff.

My little romp around with social networking has been both sweet and disappointing as it appears to be filled with people who don't really have much to say.

Now with the Release of Vista and my eventual purchase of a Quad Core Mack (not the MacIntel flavor) I think I will now have something to write about.

To help me out just a little bit as I pick up the past time of blogging, I would like for those that find their way to this blog, take a moment to also tell me how you found it.

Thanks,
