I checked the price of a new hard disk. Now, around $100 , then I can get a 200 GB hard disk. Around 50 cents, a GB. A GB... do you know some years ago, we claimed a GB can hold all of your works during your life time. Some of my friends got a GB removeable disk, then they said they were bring all of their work walking in the street.

Last night, I setup PHP server in my Windows XP box.
There are steps I did:
1. Download PHP installer from PHP.net

2. Run it.
(Note: Remember PHP will run in CGI mode, there are no PEAR library)

3. Go to pear.php.net/go-pear and it as a PHP file in the PHP root dir.

4. run http://localhost/php/go-pear.php.

5. edit [WINDOWS]\php.ini
include_path = ".;c:\php\includes;[PHP_root]\PEAR"

I hope these steps can help you.

I have a friend asked me about how much for a wireless router and the most firends around myself has a wireless network at home.It seems to be more and more people to consider having a wireless network. But I am a old fashion person. I am using a old style LAN network.Why don't I go wireless. My router is a cheaper router and the computers at home have not wireless card. For saving money, I am still staying in old fashion and I don't need to bring my computer around my home.
