Blu-ray Player | Blu-ray Playback – Easy DVD Player In the last few days, I have been trying out a relatively inexpensive DVD-Player which has Blu-ray support. It is ZJ Computing’s Easy DVD PLayer | Blu-ray Playback software. This is not to be confused with Corel/Roxio’s Easy DVD Creator, which is a DVD-burning program with …

Video Editing Software |The Saga Continues… Since my last entry in this vein, I have experimented with several types of video editing software, in particular with CyberLink’s Power2Go Version 8 (which has a neat DVD authoring program built in), ArcSoft Media Expression and others.

In the last four blog entries, I described the tortuous route to getting what I consider my first proper laptop computer, with a little thrown in about our desktop computers. With this blog entry (or post – to use the more proper terminology), I will talk about my desktop PC – in pretty much the …

In the last post, I told you what brand I had settled on as my first proper (and by that I mean one with the proper specifications and power) laptop computer. It is a Hewlett-Packard G62 -355DX, with a biscotti finish, powered by an AMD Athlon Dual Core processor. I feel kind of embarrassed, as …

To continue the saga – after all was said and done, in October 2010, I was ready to shop for a new laptop, as my four-year old Gateway was definitely not going to be up to the demands of Windows 7.Mind you, it had run the Release Candidate pretty well for having only 1 GB …
