A+ Certified and ITEC

I finally took the A+ test last week, and passed.  I have been meaning to take that test for a long time, but never got around to it.  I made a 750 on the first test, and 865 on the second.  I plan on taking the Network+ next.

The Technology department went to the ITEC trade show in Charlotte on the 25th.  There was about 20 vendors, and a few cool products.  But it was not a very impressive show.

Laptop Resurrection

I have been resurrecting an old laptop of mine this past week.  It is my longest living laptop, since 2001.  It is a Toshiba Satellite 1755, with a 700MHz Intel Celeron and 192MB of RAM.  I am still debating on what to do with it.  I might make a wall computer out of it, or mount it in my kitchen somewhere.

The laptop had broke screen brackets, which my dad had welded back together in 2004.  I gave the laptop to my mom after I got my Dell Inspiron 5100.  About a year ago the back light went out in the LCD, so I had to rob a light out of a parts laptop I had laying around.  The laptop still gets about an hour and a half of battery time.
