Normally Palace Guards are quite patient, but enough is enough ๐Ÿ™‚

It almost makes my eyes wet just a little, it is now again possible to own a Commodore Amiga and a cool one even ๐Ÿ˜€ it’s specs are quite promising (Core i7 etc.), and if you are mostly nostalgic you can just buy the casing and fit it yourself ๐Ÿ™‚

Well ok, trees don’t grow into heaven as we say here in Denmark as it is neither compatible nor driven by the original Kickstart / workbench “os” but still it has it’s own linux distro, and as I understand it you can download and install this free of charge on your own hardware (gotta try that, maybe they put in just a bit of nostalgia).

So for those of you who grew up with a Commodore Amiga here is your chance of revisiting this wonderful machine.

Long live Amiga.. ๐Ÿ˜‰

When I first installed Windows Vista I was annoyed with the changes to the search ability of Windows, this experience did not improve under Windows 7 quite to the opposite actually..ย  The thing is, if you allow indexing of your drives searching is bearable – however if you like me have several terrabytes of data then Windows will never stop indexing, and the constant ‘ticking’ of the harddrive was driving me insane.

For a long time I decided to just live the very basic search ability in Windows 7/vista, it is quite possible to search for filenames and extentions – however the other day I really needed the ability to search for files containing a special text string – something that is impossible if you have turned indexing off (as far as I have been able to figure out).ย  So after googling the subject I found several different utilities that could remedy this, however most at a price of around $25, now normally I don’t mind paying for something useful however as I use this quite seldom I decided to keep googling ๐Ÿ™‚

And I am pleased to announce that not only did I find something free it is awesome ๐Ÿ˜€

Curse Microsoft for their stupid changes to the basic Windows Search.
