Andrew joined us a bit later to discuss how much work Microsoft created for him with a patch that had been released recently.
We did a clarification on a site we had talked about last week. http://ivave.com sells music for 5 cents a track in most cases. We had a listener who did think it was a legal site. You can follow our thread over at https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/theaverageguy/
#59 The Home Tech Podcast: SSD Upgrades, Google Hangouts vs Skype, Yahoo! and the Internet Blackout of 2012
This week Jim and Andrew bring you the latest installment of the Home Tech Podcast.
Jim talks about this recent upgrade to a 120GB Mushkin SSD drive in his primary PC, and the performance increases he has seen as a result of the upgrade, as well as how he moved non-critical services from the SSD to a traditional rotating drive. Check out Jim’s post on the experience, and the benchmark comparison between the old rotating drive and the new SSD. The guys talk about SSD’s in general, and the performance benefits of the upgrade, as well as a similar upgrade he is performing this weekend on an older machine that is used at the family church for their media production.
