Software for Newly Installed PC I do the same, except with one extra step which you might consider: use a disk imaging program (I use Norton Ghost) to avoid having to re-install from scratch. Basically, you make a disk image of a "clean" system when you first install the operating system. Then you to clean out the drive, simply use the disk image and rewrite it over the C: Drive. Voila! Instant re-install. There should be a lot of tutorials on how to do this, floating around the net. You can even build in more levels of disk images. For myself, I have a "Level 1" disk image (Windows only), "Level 2" (Windows + hardware drivers), "Level 3" (Windows + drivers + Office + Firefox + other applications). That way, there's a minimum amount of work whenever I re-ghost the drive - I can go back only to Level 3 if all the applications are still current, or I can go back a level if I want to (e.g. I want to upgrade my version of Office). It's not a lot of disk space for each image (my "clean" windows install is only about 600M compressed), so there's no reason not to keep multiple versions! |

World Financial Center - Part II Thanks for your insightful coverage. I have blogged some of this info on http://shanghaiwfc.biz/. I am a graduate student in Portland, Or, USA majoring in sustainable development, international (asia-focused) business, logistics, and Chinese (hard). I am fascinated by the expanding market occuring in China and this building in particular as it a great example of the whole environment of growth and expansion and economic movment. I will be there with my Graduate program in March--"PSU MIM"--hopefully we can meet then! |

Smiling Saturday Jian Shuo - re the NKF, samuel is absolutely right on their practices. If their CEO hadn't been so arrogant as he was, we still wouldn't know the truth!! He was paid $600,000 Singapore dollars a year (approx 3m yuan), flew first class everyone and also paid kickbacks to his cronies. The government finally had to appoint KPMG to investigate the NKF's practices, and fired the CEO and the entire board of directors. See the report. http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Southeast_Asia/HA05Ae01.html |
