I think my favorite thing is building a VM just to downgrade a file in an already installed application ...

Anna Lear

@TimStone Any time :)

Tim Stone

@jcolebrand Sounds like an excitingly fun time, definitely.

jcolebrand

Oh, and my computer hates when I plug in three USB peripherals

keyboard

mouse

external hdd where the ISOs are stored

Tim Stone

Just three, or specifically those three?

jcolebrand

Just three

I seriously just need a new laptop

Tim Stone

10:37 PM

Ah, that's a little less of a conspiracy then.

jcolebrand

Aye

I'm thinking a reboot is in order when I finish downloading the old app

If someone were to look at me and say "well, you've rather hosed your Windows install in the past 18 months from all the various tools you've installed" I would not doubt them for an instance

and I'm willing to bet it's the IDE I'm using for this other company that's the nail in th ecoffin

Windows 8 RTM, @jcolebrand. Take the plunge. No better time.

jcolebrand

@MichaelPetrotta in regards to the VM or the laptop?

I don't think you understand "failing hardware" if you're suggesting I breathe life into this laptop for the fourth time ...

Michael Petrotta

Well, not so much that I don't understand it, more that I didn't read it. :-)

jcolebrand

lol

ok, what've I done with all my ISOs? >.<

the shame is I have keys for all the products (legitimate) but don't apparently have the ISOs

mccarthynator

Hold on, I might have a copy of that floppy.

Tim Yi Jiang

Download them from MSDN?

Michael Petrotta

better than the alternative.
start those downloads, go out and enjoy the sun
(offer predicated on living in a currently sunny part of the world. Portland, Oregon is beautiful today)

jcolebrand

@TimYiJiang no MSDN link? Do you have one? I just need a MD5 hash to make sure the version I download is legit

@MichaelPetrotta was thinking of firing up the grill actually. I have some steaks just begging to be cooked in anticipation of this weekend.

mccarthynator

I haz MSDN account.

MD5 Hash? Legit? Who checks that stuff.

Weirdo.
