Back sometime last fall, Microsoft sent me some survey about Works Suite. They mentioned that if you filled out and returned the survey, you’d be entered into a drawing to win your choice of 5 or so Microsoft Products. Supposedly, if you won, you were supposed to receive the prize back in December. Since I didn’t get anything back then, I didn’t figure I’d won. But, suprisingly, last Friday, I received a package from Microsoft and what do you know, it was Windows XP. I set quickly set it up and learned how much I’ve been missing by using Windows ME. It’s really a great operating system! When I was using WindowsME, I’d have to reboot once or twice from the time I got home to the time I went to bed and even more frequently if I listened to music online. Now, with XP, I can stream music for hours and not have to reboot. I was going to keep my computer on to see how long I could run without rebooting, but a software installation wanted me to reboot and I just figured I’d not do that because I think it would run a long time before I’d have to reboot.

So that’s really great. If you’re having consistent problems with your windows operating system, try XP!

Well everyone, it’s been 5 years since I put my first web site up on the internet. I’ve gone from angelfire to hosting that came with dial-up to keeping my site on my dad’s domain to it’s final location, here, with my own domain and own hosting. I’ve gone a long way from the beginning – learned a whole lot, changed my site hundreds of times, and have enjoyed working with it.

Last night, I added an entrance page to the site – if you came directly to this page from a search engine or from wherever and would like to see the entrance page, go to http://erichmusick.com/index.cgi.
