Since the 4GB memory upgrade the beast is running very nicely. Lucky for me Microsoft extended Vista to 2017 which is what it’s running – Vista Business.

What are they doing ?
Balcony PC update
As posted last Sunday bought from the market, installed and cloned a Sandisk SSD Plus 240GB – all good. Anyway ended up with quite an array of drives (LOL) as Macrium Reflect just tagged every drive with a letter including system partitions etc. Did some cleanup in Disk Management to hide stuff (see picture) so we are tidy again. Next task was to cleanup the SSD as all the user data like docs, photos videos etc is already on (what is now) the F: storage drive – the Samsung 1TB. Note that all the apps including large ones like Office 2007 Pro will stay on the SSD and as you can see from the picture we have 145GB free.

Balcony PC tower upgrades
Balcony desktop tower PC upgrade(s) – the CPU swap from E5200 to E7400 which cost $8.60 went well, now it’s time for a SSD so got a Sandisk SSD Plus 240GB from the market today along with SATA and power cables.

Bunnings XU1 garden tools
Blower, hedge trimmer and grass trimmer selling for $79 each. Need to replace my Robyi blower so went to grab one of those but there’s only one left and it’s been opened and looks like no charger – bugger. ET grabbed it and went off to find a staff person to try and do a deal. Nice staff person say’s it’s a stuff up, two batteries and no charger I’ll give you a big discount on that. I also wanted the grass trimmer so we got both for $110 instead of $150.
