Acer Aspire One Weekend


This weekend is both a bane and a blessing. Kuya Kris got his new Acer Aspire One and Kiqs got his Acer Aspire. The bane is that all day we downloaded drivers as the Aspire One did not have one included in the box. Also, we had to format Kiqs new laptop and have XP installed.

Life is what happens when you're formatting a laptop.

I went through hell trying to find drivers for the originally Linux-based Aspire One so for everyone out there having trouble finding drivers, click here.

First I tried running Windows 7 32-bit on the Aspire One however, it had problems detecting the WLAN. Other than that it ran smoothly though. However, since my cousin really needed the wireless connection I reverted it back to XP with Flyakite customization to make it look like a Mac.

On the other hand, Tin went to see her programmer friend who just got home from Dubai and a couple of friends over at The Coffee Academy (who is owned by our neighbor). We also ate famous comfort foods namely sopas and ice cream then drank beer afterwards.
