Sunday News – March Madness Edition

March 20, 2016, 16:41(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

mmAs I site here my bracket is all but a goner thanks to Michigan State. Still is has been exciting to watch thus far. I love watching those “little guys” like Middle Tennessee State, Hawaii, Wichita State, Stephen F. Austin, Gonzaga, and Northern Iowa remind us all what “heart” is. After I write this I’m gonna settle in to watch #11 VCU try to take down #2 Oklahoma. I’m rooting for ’em even though I didn’t pick ’em.

Hey Ed. You Shoulda Followed My Guide
Ed Bott has found that updating Windows 7 has become a PITA. If you check out my guide Installing Windows 7 you will see I recommend downloading and installing KB3102810 before running any Windows Updates. He has come to this conclusion now too.

    Great tips Eric and I am sure those who have older machines will appreciate, but… I have given up on Win 7 all together. I haven’t had any Win 10 crashes since Feb. 27. Microsoft Expression Web keeps crashing every few days even in compatibility mode but I’ve learned to live with it. After all, it’s a free program that MS abandoned a few years ago.

    Oh and ugh…I never fill out a bracket. Mainly cause I don’t keep up with collage BB until March Madness. Then I only watch Texas get beat once again in the opening round. Then I’m done. LOL
