Day: April 4, 2012

We started out, many years ago as drbillbailey.net/blog, then, we were thecomputercurmudgeon.com, then we became drbill.cc (for Computer Curmudgeon), but as time went by, I added DrBill.TV as a separate web site for the video show… well, now, we have consolidated everything together under DrBill.TV. All the old site addresses still work, of course, but they all now point to DrBill.TV! So, make a note! Mark it down, you heard it here first! (Well, where else would you hear it!?!)

My favorite Virtual hypervisor for Linux clients has been upgraded!
