A Lot of Windows
Cleaning up my software backups. Noticed that I have a few versions of Windows. (Don’t ask me to open the subfolders. The number of variants scares me.)
Month: January 2010
TOO LATE!
As I write this, auctions for my Dell Mini-Tower Computer and HP Laser Printer are ending (or have ended). But as those two head out to their new owners, three more auctions have appeared: a HP Wireless G USB Printer Server, Microsoft Office:mac 2004 Student and Teacher Edition, and my beloved Apple iPhone 2G.
As before, if you want to check these items out, just head on over to my eBay page and take a gander at them or click the links below. If you’re interested in buying any of these things, you’re going to have to place a bid on them.
These may be the last things I list this month, but I’ll have more to post next month. After that, things will really be uncertain.

HP Wireless G USB Print Server
It appears that Facebook will be heavily promoting users to download (and buy) McAfee VirusScan. It’s possible that this could be another revenue stream for Facebook (gotta keep it free somehow), but there are plenty of free anti-virus apps available.
For Windows
Microsoft Security Essentials
As much as I hate to say this, but MSE was actually rated one the best AV application available (and the only free one among the best). Small, lightweight, and fast. Available for Windows XP, Vista, and 7.
For Mac OS X
ClamXav
Although Mac OS X is more secure than Windows, it still doesn’t hurt to be cautious. ClamXav is based on the open-source ClamAV software.
For Linux-based OSes
Avast! Linux Home Edition
I’m going with Avast! over AVG mainly because AVG doesn’t provide any information about their Linux product on their web site (although it is available on their download page). Of course, you can always go with the previously mentioned open-source ClamAV as well.
While looking for discount / coupon codes for eBay on RetailMeNot, there was one particular code and description that caught my eye.
Saying good-bye to a recent good friend soon (iPhone 2G), saying hello to an old friend of mine (Audiovox SMT 5600, now with Windows Mobile 6.1!).

IT’S OVER!
I’m giving it a go again since I didn’t get any reaction last time, but I’m still attempting to off load some of my things. Since there was no local reaction, it’s off to the Internets! Today, I have posted two things in my possession: my Dell Inspiron 530 Mini-Tower Computer and my HP LaserJet 1018 laser printer.
If you want to check these items out, just head on over to my eBay page and take a gander at them or click the links below. Interested in buying them? Then you gotta bid, bid, bid! I’ll be posting more next week (when I get some boxes in for shipping).

This… this can’t be read, can it? Do people actually believe this?
I was going to post this over on eBay, but figured I’d go ahead and post some information about the phone here first to see if there are any interested parties.
Product:
Apple iPhone 2G (8GB, First Generation, Unlocked, Jailbroken)
Asking Price:
Negotiable (see below)
(Below is the text I will be using for my eBay Auction if I am unable to find a buyer through here or unable to come to terms on a a reasonable price for the items listed below. Currently, the phone (used) is going for anywhere between $120 and $355 on eBay.)
You are bidding on a used (but in good condition) 8GB iPhone 2G, the first generation iPhone released by Apple. The phone has been unlocked for use on AT&T and T-Mobile and jailbroken, meaning you can install apps from outside of Apple’s App Store. The latest iPhone Software (3.1.2) has been installed and is ready to use out of the box. The phone was originally purchased back in February 2008 from the Apple Store.
In the Box
Included in this auction is everything that originally came with the phone, including the 8GB iPhone 2G, its box, the original AT&T SIM Card that came with the phone, a USB cable, a dock, a USB-based wall charger, and headphones.
Additional Accessories
In addition to that, I am also including an additional dock, another USB cable, a wall-charger, a car charger, a headphone adapter, and a case (with belt clip). And, if I can find them, I will throw in some screen protectors too (I have no idea where I put them, so, no guarantees on the screen protectors.)
Available for use on AT&T and T-Mobile
This iPhone has been unlocked for use on AT&T and T-Mobile. Just put your SIM Card in and you’re ready to go.The original AT&T SIM Card that came with the phone is included as it has not been used. It can be used to sign up for new service on AT&T.Note: This phone is not capable of 3G speeds (even though the AT&T SIM Card says “3G” on it). Can also be used on any other GSM-based network in the world.
Install 3rd Party Apps
This iPhone has been jailbroken, meaning you can install applications that Apple doesn’t approve of in their App Store. Using an App called Cydia, you can find applications such as security apps, customization programs, and other great and useful apps and utilities.
Blemishes
There are a couple of blemishes. A small scratch appears in the upper left of the display. Only noticeable when iPhone’s display is off. On the back, there is a little dent in the upper left corner. These blemishes do not affect the operation/use of the iPhone.
Shipping
I will ship this via a USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate Box ($10.70). As this is a very important item, I am requiring it be sent via Certified Mail (for tracking) and Insuranced (amount varies depending on winning bid).Note: Sorry, but I will not sell or ship to anyone outside of the United States. After being burned previously by an international buyer and the mess of dealing with customs when just trying to ship gifts to friends, international buyers and shipment for me is a big no-no. Please don’t ask. I just said I won’t.I think that should answers most questions, but if you have any others, let me know!
The view outside my window just has this look of a cold, winter evening. I love it.
