NAS - Networked Attached Storage

I upgraded my laptop from Vista to Windows 7 (the evaluation version as Win7 is not out yet) and I can no longer see my NAS. I have a Netgear SC101 NAS - which works fine from XP and Vista but not Win7. I've spent ages - modified the registry etc etc but no luck. Guess I'll buy a new NAS after Windows 7 comes out (I'd like to buy one that is guaranteed to work with win 7 and Vista  and XP)

Work - two months since last blog

I don't know what happened to the last two months, but after weeks of agonising I've finally got my head into a better position over my career.
It's been a difficult eight weeks with frequent loss of confidence, something I've never experienced before - and intend never to experience again!

My position at work remains uncertain. Many people have resigned on both sides of the Atlantic. I am grateful to my boss, as her action woke me  up. I've been thinking about what I want and come to a realisation that I'd gone to sleep and was literally marking time at work. something I think that happens to a lot of people. I was still turning in good work, but had forgotten to ask myself "what do I want?"

What I want is to run my own business. The next step is to think what and when.
