Well it has been about a year since
I updated this web site, I am sorry that I have not had the time to update
this web site. However, I have to say I am having the time of my
life raising my wonderful baby girl. I keep saying that I should
update the site, but when it come between playing with my child, or this
site, I always chose my child. Maybe one day I will be able to put
a few hours into this site again, but for now I am happy. I am sorry
for all the links that have gone bad in the mean time, unfortunately the
internet changes faster then I can keep up with it.
Also the good news is that this web site remains as popular as ever.
Today Geocities shut down this site, for a short time, because of too much
traffic. After a call to them they told me that this is precautionary
because too much traffic is often a sign of abuse, the good news is that
in the case of this web site it is a sign of popularity. I thank
you all for visiting and I am glad my site is useful to so many people.
Also, sorry for no more reviews, my old PB is now my second computer
and my mothers old PB is my third computer (of course I only have two monitors
so I can only use one at a time). My main computer is home built,
I used all the experienced I gained working on my old PB to build my self
a computer. Not bad for someone who learned everything on an old
Packard Bell. I had to build a new system, because the old Packard
Bell has reached it's limit. My new system is a Soyo K7VTA-Pro, this
motherboard has the best value for the price.
Anyway, the sad part of this is the old PB is used by my wife, but atleast
it is still serving faithfully with oit's Powerleap adapter. On the
down side I will not be spending any more money on it, so the upgrade adventure
is over. All three PC are linked together with a linksys cable router
so any system can get on line all at the same time. If you want to
have multiple PC on a cable modem at the same time I highly recommend one.
I have so much more I could write about, if I only had the time.
See you all later - Ray |

new URL and fix them. I am sorry for this probem, but this is typical
Packard Bell making life hard for us to get the info we need. |

In other new the PL-Renaissance/AT is getting closer
to being released. The PL-Renaissance/AT can already be bought in
a couple of countries and will be available through the powerleap web site
real soon. PowerLeap is still beta testing and trying to make sure
as many bugs are as possible are taken care of. As always they want
to offer us a quality product. I plan on obtaining one to test so I can
