Shoo: Reloaded

To say there was a shortage of computers in the Shoo household, I'd have to say you were in the wrong house.

We have 1 server, 1 workstation, 2 laptops, and an old Apple g4 laptop. Even the dogs share in the computer fun.

I just recently blogged about the importance of backing up computers on my daily blog. (I try to share the love between Humzoo and gotshoo.com). It was a riveting, or boring depending on your view of backing up computers.

Well wouldn't you know it, my main workstation had some kind of hiccup with the registry and wouldn't behave properly, so reloading the whole system seemed faster than try to repair it. It's worth it sometimes to do a clean install to get rid of all the crap you don't need anymore.

I've been keeping track of the programs that I've loaded (actually it's just everything in my download queue). This is what I've loaded so far:

Firefox
Flash
Windows Live Photo Gallery
iTunes
Printer Driver
Opera
Gmail Widget
Canon RAW codec
Driver for TV tuner
Last.fm module

Stuff that I need to finish loading:
VirtualPC
Visual Studio
Dreamweaver
Photoshop
Firefox Plugins
