New Games & Programs Page

In lieu of making any actual posts in February, I’ve been working on getting my old, outdated games page set up on the blog, and I’m just about done with it.

Though I would normally shun he (or she) who would buy an operating system on launch day, a week ago I bought, downloaded, and installed the newest version of Microsoft’s OS, Windows 7.

Overall, I’m glad I made the switch.

Here’s a quick run-down of how the (mostly painless) upgrade process went for me, from my old rig turning into a massive paper weight to the re-birth of Windows on my new machine.
