Re: Live or Dead? Africa
In Response To: Re: Live or Dead? Africa ()

Been using Win 7 for a while in the various RC builds. I got the full build today and installed the 64-bit on my main desktop. It was a little painful at first. I hit a catch 22 between the "need keyboard to configure windows, need bluetooth to use keyboard, need windows to configure bluetooth". I gave away all my cheapo USB keyboards when family members needed them and the only one I had left had the old DIN plug, so I was SOL. Had to run to Staples to get a new keyboard. So decided to retire the bluetooth one.

I ended up with the family pack of Win7. Here in the states its $119 for the home premium upgrade and then $149 for the 3-pack. So two of my PCs will be updated, the third will stay XP and my Dad will get upgraded as well.

On Zimbabwe, It looks like they may have changed their currency again. I could not find any news about it so I'll have to do some more research but Oanda is reporting that 500 Zimbabwe Dollar = 1.40844 US Dollar. So either they did what Mexico did and lobbed a bunch of zeros off the end and reissued currency or Oanda is mistaken.

The good news is that if they have any gum left in Zim you might be able to afford it. This however is still worthless...
