I had the best quiet time this morning, praying, reading and memorizing scriptures. I thank God that I am learning more and more to be content regardless of the external circumstances. My blackberry address book got wiped out when I tried to synch with Outlook on Friday. There's problem with my Outlook too, can't access it from the desktop either. I can't email out of the blackberry on Friday and it's does seem I am getting email on it today either. But the browser on it still works.

I installed the VMware Server, then loaded the preconfigured Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The fun only got better when I installed Sun Solaris 10 64bit OS. Imagined you can run Sun Solaris 10 64bit on top of Windows XP 64bit, switching between them seemlessly, never having to worry about messing up your hard drive boot sector, rebooting to switch OS, .... And why stop at running Windows XP 64bit and Sun Solaris 10 64bit, add any combination of operating systems you like, Novell, BSD, .... Well, I looked but Apple OS 10 is not yet supported, at least not in this free version. The other drawback is that physical resources like hard disk and memory has to be divided up and shared between the various physical and virtual machine. The best is still not having to worry about security, spyware, viruses, ... while you are in the virtual machine.

Yep, I need a new hard drive, with all the digital pictures and this new virtualization, I put in an order on Newegg for a 500Gb SATA 7200RPM drive and an external USB 2.0 enclosure so I can reused an old IDE drive. I have 1.5Gb of memory, next would be an order for another 1Gb stick or maybe even two, when the price drops below the current $105 each stick.
