The OS that just won't quit

2008-12-23T21:11:00.002-05:00

Windows XP just won't die especially when Vista is the alternative. Quite simply Vista was a flop and no one wants it on their system. Either people are waiting for Windows 7 or downgrading to XP. This is why once again Microsoft extended XP death til May 30.

Toshiba USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive Review

2008-11-25T22:24:00.004-05:00

This black friday we should be seeing some deals on external hard drives. And here is a review of a Toshiba one. Gadgeteer reviews the Toshiba USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive.

Here the conclusion they came to:

In conclusion, I really like the sleek and compact design of the Toshiba drive. The preloaded NTI Shadow backup software is extremely easy to use and has many different options for scheduling a backup job.

The only negatives that I found were the lack of a Firewire connection port and the short USB cable. A missing Firewire port is acceptable when compared to other options at this price-point in the market but a 13 inch USB cable just makes no sense to me.

I would easily recommend the 400GB Toshiba Portable External Hard Drive.
