Had a great family Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. We had three generations, including both grandparents and all the kids and their wives (if married). Food was fantastic — fired turkey, spiral-sliced ham, oyster & sausage dressing, sausage dressing, rolls, sweet potato casserole, green beans, corn souffle, pecan pie, birthday cake, homemade ice cream, and more.
I helped my brother with his computers and then finished setting up my mother-in-law’s new machine. Lots of serious computer configuration, debugging and malware removal there. Observation — Gateway’s setup was a lot more complete than Compaq’s. The Compaq ran its own startup program for about 10 minutes on first boot, while the Gateway one’s first boot was almost like a normal boot.
I brought home an old P166 that I had loaned to the MIL.
