One of the few things I’m obsessed with are planes, mostly commercial airliners and of course military aircrafts as well. Since my aspirations of being a Top Gun pilot never eventuated I just learned to admire commercial airlines from afar and get to ride them a few times to various destinations around the world.

I have spent a good part of my Sunday afternoon troubleshooting an issue that came up when I tried to restore my Windows 7 installation on a Seagate Momentus XT 2.5″ drive.

I’m not about to preach to the devoted Windows crowd because to compare the two just isn’t fair – not because one is inferior to the other but I think they both have their places cemented because of their merits.
