The SimonSezIT.com Tech Show - #15 - July 27, 2009

Welcome to show number 15. I’ll provide a prediction about the tax free days of internet purchases coming to an end. Windows 7 testing is coming along fine. Pulled a few tricks out of the bag to create a dual boot Windows 7/XP box. Windows 7 is now may default computer. Used a great Linux boot up disk called Gparted to create 2 partitions.

Beware of fraudulent purchases with swiped debit card PINs!

Google Voice will soon be available to all. Currently it’s invite only. Have many phone numbers ring to one number and route the calls based on caller id. Cool!

Kall8 is another cool company I started using recently. Talk about cheap toll-free rates!
