Funny- it's Intel's driver for my PRO/1000 GT that's been occasionally causing my desktop to crash and reset when going into standby, according to the minidumps. Maybe it's just Intel that's not ready for Windows 8? Win8 Pro RTM x64 from MSDNAA.

You could put some backup drives in a safe deposit box. With as much as you're storing, it may be beneficial to store just the bare drives.

I'm not sure what to think of this- by becoming a direct competitor to the Windows 8 app store, isn't Steam losing its differentiation as a specialty store for games? This might end up hurting them in the long run.

At that point, you might as well just build a train.

I made a little over $130 on this program since I always used it when I built computers for friends and family. Fortunately my new CC has rewards but Newegg isn't a member- I guess I'll take my business to Tiger Direct from now on.

Yeah, and it also makes me feel warm that valley high school, which already has a billion IBM laptops including some very nice Core Duo T60s, will probably get even more stuff out of this. Maybe they'll put the money towards more smartboards, those things are fun.
