While browsing the wonderful Internet I found quite a few websites that are stating that our good friends at Microsoft used Apple computers to edit and publish their new ads that you are seeing on TV. You know, the “I’m a PC” ads. Here is a link to one article that I found. Roughly Drafted.com
How cool is that?!?! Microsoft using Apple computers to create ads against Apple Computers….hmmmmm. Oh, and by the way, what was up with the Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates commercials? What a waste of money and resources. Looks like Jerry is laughing all the way to the bank.
Mr. Gates, I would be more than happy to be in your next commercial. I won’t even charge the 10 million you paid Jerry. I will do it for 1 million, or better yet, just pay off my house….what do ya say about that? I’ll be patiently waiting for your prompt reply 
Did you know that the word “Vista” in Latvia means “frumpy old woman”? Way to go Microsoft!!!
For those of you on a Microsoft Windows computer, GET A MAC!!! No, really, if you are paying for an anti-virus program or not, AVG Anti-Virus, in my opinion, is one of the best (FREE) anti-virus programs out there. If you already have it, great. They have updated their program and there is a new, better version out. I would recommend you download it and install it as soon as possible. Here is the link to the download page. Free AVG Anit-Virus
Better yet, seriously, get a Mac!!!
I’m sure it is not as fun as what I am doing. Here is what I am doing right now….some really fun and exciting stuff (I’m being sarcastic!!!) I am writing a chapter, for my Microsoft courseware, about Digital Certificates and Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP). For those of you who are lost, confused, and just don’t understand….join the club!!!!
HAVE A GREAT DAY…..AND GO TO CHURCH TOMORROW!!!!
My Vista instructor emailed this one to me the other day. I thought it was awesome….of course!!!!

So I am working on developing two computer courses. One is for the new Microsoft MCTS and MCITP. The other is for the new Apple Mac OS X 10.5, by the way I love Apple!!!! Just sitting and working on these courses makes my body hurt from sitting so much, and my eyes hurt from looking at my laptop for so long. On top of that I went to see the doctor the other day because my my upper back, neck, and shoulder have been hurting me really bad. Those of you that don’t know, I am a disabled vetran because of my lower back. So, I went to the doctor and he took some x-rays and the news was not too good. I have two discs that are going bad on me, I no longer have a natural curve in my neck, the spinal bones are not straight, and I have mild scoliosis. We are working on getting me all fixed up, but it is a pain…you get it…I’m in pain and it’s a pain (It is really late right now.) So the doctor and I are getting to know each other and he knows that I teach computer class and develops the courseware. He tells me that he bets that I use a laptop and I tell him yes, an Apple of course. He said that if he could write me a prescription to get a Mac Pro that he would, but he can’t of course. He said that I needed to get away from using my laptop as my everyday computer, because of the way it sits on my desk and the way I sit and all sorts of stuff…that does make a lot of since.
Getting a new Mac Pro, by the way I really love Apple, would be awesome, but man this is really bad timing. 1. I have the Africa Mission Trip that needs to get paid for (I still need help with this if you are interested….read the Mission Trip posts.) 2. We are trying to get our last credit card paid of. 3. I just cannot afford a new computer right now. So I am improvising. I have re-arranged things on my desk. I got a wireless keyboard and a monitor. Not exactly what the doctor ordered, but it will have to due for now. As we say in the Marine Corps, adapt and over come.
So I am now asking your guys for two things.
1. Pray for me and my back. Having to deal with my lower back is one thing….now it is the upper and lower. Wonder when the mid is going to give me fits?
2. I really need help with the Africa Mission Trip. If you feel like you could help me out, please read the Mission Trip category and it will explain things. So far we have had $590 in donations and that is from 4 families (Randy and Carol Barnes, David and Jana Cotton, Tom and Angie Cross, and Mike and Bridget Wildschuetz. Thank you guys….your are AWESOME!!!!
God Bless Your Day…..well Night!!!
