Ever Changing Wind.

So I've had my Wind for a few months now, and last night I think I completed it's evolution by installing the latest Bios 1.09

Back when I first read about the MSI Wind there were three things that got my attention

• a 10 inch screen
• an 80 GB Sata HD
• the ability to over or under clock the CPU on demand

Well the Wind started shipping and the first thing people noticed was the over clocking feature was missing. MSI had removed it from the Bios and there was no word about it ever coming back. Like a lot of others I decided to buy a Wind anyway and I haven't had any regrets, so far I have:

• added another stick of Ram giving me a total of 2 GB
• installed a Dell 1490 Wifi card which works in Ubuntu, XP and OS X
• applied a custom skin from skinit.com
• installed a 320 GB Western Digital Scorpio
  
• installed Ubuntu 8.10 w/netbook remix, XP home and OS X 10.5
• updated the Bios to 1.09 w/over clocking set to 15%

Now I can sit back and enjoy my triple booting goodness... at least until I hear of another great mod for my Wind.

Here is my MSI Wind with the Radiohead skin I made on www.skinit.com
I love how subtle the colours are on the black of the Wind.

Pretty messy looking right now.

Cleaning up my music set up today.

We are picking up a new desk today for the spare room. Right now it's just too messy and not very inspiring.

Loving my MSI Wind.

Like many others out there, after the Asus EeePC came out I wanted a mini notebook. I've had a Acer Travelmate 4202 for the last 2 years and loved it, but it's still a little big and heavy once you start carrying it around for a while.When I first read about MSI's Wind I knew it was the one I was waiting for, the 10 inch screen and 80 Gig hard drive clinched it. So two weeks ago mine arrived (I'm using it now), and I'm loving it!

The first thing I did was install another Gig of RAM and swap out the internal Wifi card for one that would work with Linux and OS X, that's right I'm triple booting!

My next customization is a skin for the top of my Wind, I ordered it from www.skinit.com I plan to post pictures as soon as it's on.
