I believe it was February or March I have purchased for only $30 the Pro edition of Panda Anti-virus with a bonus of 3 PC licenses included in the pack. However I don’t recomment it anymore, huge memory load (in XP went up instantly from 309MB to 745MB), lazy updates , not the best AV for sure.
Today I have started the trial for Kastersky AV , highly recommended by a lot of IT guys these days. See you back in a month with a short review.

For all of you who need waxing services over the weekend, here’s a good spot.
Usually IT guys like me aren’t stuck with just one domain name (like this blog). I decided a few months ago to use Hostgator for my other domains…done! Account set-up in a few minutes aftery online payment, the old good CPanel -latest version , a lot of scripts easy to install using Fantastico. The Baby Croc plan is their best seller. I’m not advertising for these guys but initially I had a lot of bad experiences hosting companies from Romania ( Webfactor.ro – WBF / Gazduire.ro – I don’t recommend them at all ! ).
Honestly … I prefer the SB-600 over the SB-800. The SB-600 is smaller, lighter, less expensive and does everything I need.
Here is Ken Rockwell’s comparison between SB 600 and SB 800.
There is no need for the SB-800 or SB-900 unless you shoot with it all day long. You will like the size of the SB-600. The SB-600 works with every Nikon camera made for the past 40 years.
Pay attention you might screw it up if you remove the batteries while it’s ON.
You can dial in up to +3 to -3 stops flash exposure compensation on the flash. That’s more than you usually can dial in on the camera.Also it takes four AA cells of any kind, you might wanna try rechargeable AA for this.
Wireless slave mode works GREAT with few to no misfires due to misalignment.
Power ON and OFF follows my D80 and my D300 perfectly. For instance, turn off your Nikon DSLR camera and the flash turns off. Don’t wait buy it !
I just got the Nikon D300 ! Amazing camera…however requires amazing lens , and at this time I don’t have cash for new lens link 24-70mm Nikkor. I will use my 17-50mm Tamron and the Nikkor 50mm. My 6 months old D80 will get back to it’s 18-135mm lens. I gotta take some shots now…..so stop reading this!

Mighty mouse and Black MacBook
In case you’re stuck after installing XP on your MacBook or you don’t have the Leopard CD’s near you (like me – left them at home) then you may be stuked after you installed XP on your machine. You don’t have any Mac drivers for your systems and the new BootCamp Assistant in Leopard doesn’t provide an option for you to create the XP drivers disk.
Here is the best way to get the Mac drivers for Windows XP to work : Apple’s Official XP Drivers Link
The download contains complete copies of Boot Camp Windows XP Drivers (version 2.1). If you have Boot Camp drivers already installed, it will update them. If you do not have any Boot Camp drivers installed, it will install version 2.1 drivers onto your already installed Windows OS.
