We are not talking little line drawings of Butterflies here, but full on large ART from an artist (Kirsty Cousin) donating her time. Mark completed a 10 hour marathon INK session in 2010, and raised £1000 for charity, but this year wanted to GO BIG, as is his way, because EMMINS ROCKS.

Starting in June Mark pledged his body to ALL OVER BODY TATTOO FOR CHARITY, and will continue to get INKED, as long as donations keep coming in.

From EMMINS.NET “100% OF THE MONEY RAISED WILL GO TO CANCER RESEARCH. THIS WILL BE AN ONGOING EVENT SO YOU CAN DONATE WHEN EVER YOU LIKE AND AND DONATE AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE. WE ARE ALL EFFECTED BY PEOPLE WHO ARE DYING OR HAVE DIED FROM CANCER SO PLEASE HELP MAKE A DIFFERENCE.”

From the Facebook note:- 
OK  HERE  IS THE  BEGGIN PART ..    on my website  there is a link at the bottom of the front page  to donate www.emmins.net   please support this in anyway ..  £1. – £1000   anything will help I’m doing this because I care about other people and I have been around people that have died from Cancer, its never a nice thing to see someone  old or young suffer and diminish through this.
Your help and sponsorship will never be forgotten 
so please dig deep and help me make someones life or what is left of it a happy memory for all around them.

Thank you all x

Want to wish EVERYONE who took the time to look at my blog A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS, and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Let’s ROCK in 2010!

Got it yesterday, figured easy upgrade in place, no worries, how bad can it be? Well let me tell you… it’s not good!!!!

Got TWO disks from Gateway, presumably the Gateway specific drivers on one disk, and the ‘7’ disk for the install. The instructions say 2 to 3 hours to complete. So I figured what the heck, let’s just DO IT!    [[[ WRONG  ]]]

Issue number 1, starting from the Gateway disk, yes it prompts you to do a backup of your user directories, very nice feature, THEN you get to the SELECT YOUR MODEL screen. For some reason, my only option was for NOTEBOOK models, since the DESKTOP scroll box was greyed out!

OK, so bypass the GATEWAY disk, should be OK right? NOT! ‘7’ does not like iTunes being AUTHORIZED, so that was easy, de-authorize! DOES NOT like Nero, so uninstall, easy?? No! Now I have a partial uninstall to get rid of that is still visible to Windows. ‘7’ also does not like the ATI drivers, it’s install manager and Control Center. Now this is scary! Had issues on a DELL at work, everyone telling me to get the LATEST drivers, well it don’t work that way! These boxes are so CUSTOMISED that the FACTORY driver is all that works, unless you want BLUE SCREENS!

‘7’ didn’t even like the WILD TANGENT games that came with the GATEWAY!

SO, now I’m in the e-mail waiting list to see what response I get, and hopefully a FIX. OR maybe I just man up and wipe the disk, and clean install!

What do you think? Let me know below! Any help appreciated!

ANY help appreciated!
