Sony VAIO refurbish
Comments
I am currently working on a Sony VAIO PCB-V505BCP. This unit has been set aside, possibly scrapped, but is still in working condition. Right now, I am finding out if its battery will charge to full capacity. I am also cleaning it of unnecessary and obsolete programs. I have already uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0 and plan to install version 8 later. It currently has MSOffice 2000 and Outlook 2003. I am debating whether I should install Office 2007 or Office 2003. If I choose to install Office 2007, I might have to join the laptop to the domain. Trying to bypass joing to the domain might be a good project to try.
I tried to look for a newer version of ZipCentral. I first went to the website zipcentral.iscool.net listed on the About box from the software but it gives me a page not found error. I searched for ZipCentral on Google and found out we may have the latest version (4.01). It seems like development has stopped for this program. Too bad, because its a very good free alternative to WinZip. I did notice on several occassions, it had a hard time handling very large zip files. That was the very reason I was looking for an updated version hoping that this bug is fixed.
However, I discovered two possible things that maybe useful later. One is Izarc, touted to be another alternative to WinZip. The other is the website freewarewiki.com.
