Title: Did You Get Binged Yesterday
Post by: Henry on June 04, 2009, 07:38:01 AM

Maryann and I have Windows Vista and we both got updates yesterday.  Pretty good sized ones I might add.  Included in the updates was Internet Explorer 8.

When I went back in my computer on my MSN home page, I noticed I had a new search engine called "Bing."  Supposedly the greatest thing since sliced bread.  Didn't mean much to me until I saw an ad for it on television last night.

If you haven't got it yet and want to check it out, click on the following link:

I couldn't sleep Friday morning so I got online and saw this post.

I checked the wife's computer with Vista.
No BING.

I went into CONTROL PANEL and checked on the Windows updates.
She had like 18 updates to install.

I started the install, made coffee, emptied the dishwasher, swept the back deck, checked for bears, watered the garden, read three chapters of War and Peace, read the back and front of my automobile insurance policy, checked the back area for bears again, took out some pork chops to thaw, showered, AND the update was NOT installed.
I gave up.....

NO Bing here. We are always late for the good news. Geeze.
