Wash Your Hands!

Dear Anybody Who Will Listen,

Why is it that people feel the need to wash their hands every five minutes after getting a new computer? I don’t think my hands have seen this much soap in a long time. Thanks!

Sincerely,

Hygienic in Texas

Did I do good?

Now why go with HP? Well I have had two or three HP computers, and I have to say they might come loaded down with crap – but their customer support team has never let me down. With the last PC I bought from them, I had to return my monitor. I contacted them, told them the problem and they sent me another one with 2 or 3 day shipping. I sent my old one back in the box the new one came in and I was done with it. HP has won me over.

The new machine should be here either Thursday or Friday, so I’ll be sure to post some pics!

The New Hosting Hoopla

Alright, my renovations of Hosting Hoopla are now done!

I hope everybody enjoys the new look and in time, I’ll be organizing a little more of the backend and adding some new neat features to the Web site. This was a Web site I started for myself more than anybody else. I needed a place to gather all the Web hosting information I could for producing the Web Hosting Show. Now that it is done and designed, I am excited to share that resource gathering with the rest of you out there.

The Hosting Hoopla updates RSS feed is working again as well. You can pick that up at:
