Dual boot with Boot Camp

My Windows 7 evaluation copy was about to expire but I still have occasional need to run Windows. The main use is DVD Profiler for keeping movie catalog but lately there was also interest to play Civilization 4 again.

Running Windows inside Virtualbox was working fine for DVD Profiler but obviously performance wasn't too good and clearly not enough for games, even for strategy game like Civ4. The obvious solution was to setup dual boot to Windows with Apple Boot Camp. It was actually very straightforward to do. Unfortunately I had to buy a copy of Windows... Well, now I can play again Civ4 and also wait for Civilization 5 :)

Happy New Year 2010!

The next decade started for me in sunny and crisp -18C winter day in Vimpeli, Finland. It's been a great winter so far. Snow, much snow, this year.
