Fallout
Not too interested in sleeping or waking up for school tomorrow. Fallout is now installed on my MCE computer, and it looks good and plays well. Very impressed. The installer showed signs of XP incompatibility, but the game runs like a top. Thanks, Kristin.
I’m running the “Deer Park” (1.5 Beta) version of Firefox on this machine, as well as the 1.5 Beta version of Thunderbird. They both look excellent and do not seem to crash. This is a good thing. My first (and probably only) observation about Deer Park so far: Mozilla moved the optional stuff (like the Quality Feedback Agent) into extensions that you can uninstall from the extensions applet, rather than having to fix them at setup time. This is probably a result of having the non-installer auto updater (meaning you cannot on-the-fly change what optional components are installed at every version upgrade).
Now that we have a real update engine, I’m actually excited for a new beta version to come out.
Anyway, off to sleep. Whatever. What a pointless week coming up.
