As I have been opening and getting into my goodies purchased at the recent PC Show 2008 a thought occured to me when I started up my Western Digital My Home 500GB external storage device. Do we have too much software choice? Doesn't all the choice spoil us or confuse us? This came to me as I was installing yet another piece of software, for backup & restore, that came with the WD.

This is a nice keyboard even if it is just for typing and not for gaming. It isn't the IBM 'clacker' that many people grew fond of from the early days of the IBM AT and 386. Hmm, I have an original laying around somewhere. I'll snap a pic for historical record.

So back to the Reclusa...the keys are well spaced and have a solid feel, not those overly sprung or mushy spongy feel. I liked the smaller Enter key with the backslash placed just above it.

I took two hours to visit The PC Show 2008 today and I went at what should be a peak hour...opening hour 12noon. I reached the Level 4 doors at 12:10pm and to my surprise there wasn't what I would call an sea of people.

I was still able to walk at a decent pace and not be squeezed together like sardines in a can and shuffle my feet. Kudos to the organiser for making the aisles wider or maybe there was just less exhibitors.

With standard 667MHz DDR2 Memory modules priced at approximately US$40 per gigabyte it only makes sense to pump it up for your Windows Vista config. However, is there too much of a good thing? Would you be simply wasting that money away?

I would hopefully have the opportunity (time) to run through a series of tests to find the 'sweet' spot (at least within my financial budget or perhaps a nice sponsor would like to loan/donate for my testing purpose) for Vista 32 and Vista 64.

The test would be done in the following increments.

2, 3, 4, 6, 8 Gigabytes

It may sound absurd and maybe this won't help Microsoft sell more Office licenses but have you ever wondered if you as an end user really needs to full power of what Microsoft Office has to offer? What percentage of the application would you make use of? It is much like what we hear all the time about the capacity of the human brain. Maybe you would utilise 5 or 10 percent of what the application has to offer.
