Will this price tag now fall with Logitech’s mouse?
The first day at the CeBIT was a huge success for a technician like me. All the
stuff dealing with IT and the server techiques around are an El Dorado there. I
could gather a lot of information for my job, too and it’s no surprise that I found
the companies of the software used at my employer.
New computers are often a bliss. Sometimes it can be just annoying. While

Todays’ market mainly consists of three good OSses, namely Windows, MacOSX

I think most of my readers my remember the times when 3D Games became
available on PC. We all remembered the moments when our expensive
500 DM card have been plugged into our PCs to be able to live 3D games

…or how I got into a really annoying trip to munich again. Annoying because of the fact
that I had to deal with the bad reliability of the german railsystem… AGAIN!
And the other fact that I also left my cell phone in Bern made this an even more challenging
trip. How did my trip end up? Read the full story:
Reading my favourite computer tech site today, I stumbled over a really interesting article
that made me also think about the current world situation.
As wars are currently striking on Libya, Syria and some other african countries, the
following linked article made me really thinking and also brought up some uncomfyness!
Believe it or not: Usually, Noteboos are supposed to be outlived by their data storages (HDD).
In my case the good old notebook (now 8 years old!) has outlived the second HDD!
Now installed WinXP new from scratch and typing this blog entry by now.
Sad but true that the f***ed HDD was a Samsung HDD which are usually known as being very
