Safari vs Firefox tabs persistence

I have my firefox setup in a way whenever it crashes (almost never) or I close it, after reboot or reopening i can get all my tabs again in the same way it was before the issue or restart, now, I was loving Safari until I got to the point of trying to make it behave in a similar way, then I would have it with my most visited pages in it , with different themes in each browser , let's say :mozilla for email and research and safari for news and fun, and voila! just discovered only Mac users can use such feature and only through a third party app, not native, urgh, I'm counting with safari developers to fix that if they want to be a little bit closer to a browser for the masses.

may be not , who knows.

TOMTOM GPS vs all the others

after somebody broke my driver side glass to get my loved tomtom "3rd edition"GPS, I went to the nearest bestbuy to get another (no I'm not a millionaire, I have a "disease" called navigational blindness) and as I can't work going places without gps, although i use google maps and mapquest from time to time, the point is : my eyes were wide open when I saw garmin and other brands gps users were forced to pay for updated maps even around 75 dollars for garmin SD card, I was WOW , and I can get my updates for free!!, so therefore I kept my fidelity and reliance on tomtom gps, only to find, a few months later , when I finally connected my new tomtom "one" that the company screwed up with the previously seamless and easy process to upgrade OS and maps, now I'm required to pay to get upgrades, because it looks like I have only a few "quarters of years" free upgrades, I thought it was for life, hey, you know you can get more and more customers by allowing free upgrades, may be it was never free, may be I just let the device to go too much time without connecting it to my computer and upgrading, anyway, it should be not a problem and a easy process. not the little nightmare of errors I got. thank you.

blackberry vs treos

visited a few verizon stores (retailer and corporate) in Richmond looking for a replacement for my new Blackberry Curve 8330 to not avail, none of the stores carried a samsung saga , not even a dummy phone, aargh! I have been a Treo user for the last 5 years and maybe more(I'm a Palm OS user since 1993, even a kyocera 6530) so I know what these devices are capable of and what not, the problem is: Blackberry throw me the "app 200 error" and some "java unhandled error" also after disabling java and scripts I still got the out of memory error, never had that issue with treo 650 or 680, anyway, I discovered (after the switch to BB) that the reason for treos for sudden reboots was some kind of buffer error, like having too many SMSs (which is normal for me) it looks like the routine to get rid of the old SMSs wasn't so good after all, it's supposed to erase old messages as needed. anyway, still in my quest looking for a phone which serves me well, I might even consider some treo with non Palm OS in it. what bothers me is that customer service and sellers at the stores were SO non versed in smartphones, even the managers, and BTW, when you are buying a smartphone, you KNOW you are getting a little computer, right? then why nobody mentions the cpu speed when disclosing the tech specs about those phones? I had to search in forums , google it and research by myself (although I know in smartphones not always the fastest cpu gives you the fastest phone) to find out at which speed was a certain phone running. I was offered a "world edition" blackberry to replace mine, replacing actualy nothing because speed is the same, not a good deal. best buy didn't helped neither, and I'm not going for the too commented iphone, not ready yet, i need the actual (real) keyboard for high speed texting, not a virtual clumsy keyboard.
thank you , more posts on mobile smartphones next time.

new info, reboot

I'm setting up a single machine with 10 different drives with a different OS each one, including various flavors of linux.

pictures will be posted in a few days.

I'm a big fan of OS testing and howto learning

also some networking , coz last week I found a little issue I couldnt resolve.
I was able to ping and print wetween three different computers, but not to browse those same computers through the network, not even access a shared directory in one of the computers.
