While reading Not Another One!!, The online ramblings of Niall Donegan I had a quick look at Nialls latest post Useful Firefox Extensions and I am a big fan of Firefox. Mainly down to the ability to add extentions. And Niall was listing off his favorite extentions. And one called User Agent Switcher. And what he said caught my eye…

Windows Vista, Nokia firmware update

Posted last year, at the end of March by Dave.

I would advise anyone who is using Vista to be careful of any sort of software that updates, make sure the software is certified for Vista. All you have to do is read Tom Raftery’s IT blog, he ran into alot of problems updating his Nokia N70 firmware on a Vista machine. I’m thinking that he didn’t check if the software was published by Nokia saying it works for Vista. But doing any sort of firmware update can be a risk.

Lately my laptop running Vista has developed a problem with unzipping compressed folders. I tried to unzip a compressed folder 284K, my laptop with 1gb of ram was uncompressing at 1kb a second. And after a couple of minutes, the time remaining jumped to 25 minutes remaining. With only 1kb left.
