    Best Store To Buy A New PC?

    Ah, that's different. There is a shortage of good tech help out there. I have thought about selling PCs part-time, but there's just not the money in it.

    Best Store To Buy A New PC?

    Well, for your average user that may be true. Your average person could probably install Windows XP just fine. Finding all the proper drivers would not be a fun experience, however, ergo broken computer. Either way, most OEMs do not support anything other than the default OS. Even if you just...

    Best Store To Buy A New PC?

    With repairs it sounds like either way you're going to be sending a computer back through the mail or driving a long way to a store. If everything is equal, I would buy from whatever store is cheapest. By the way, Newegg is owned by ABS computers: ABS Computer Technologies - The ULTIMATE in...

    Who was the best Batman?

    You're right, but.... I felt the Dark Knight was a great movie, it just didn't feel like a comic book to me. Jack's Joker seemed like an over-the-top deranged psychopath; more funny than scary. The is similar to my favorite Batman, the Animated Series. The Ledger's Joker seemed like a real...

    Wizards Website Survey

    The survey was decent. Hopefully they receive good, valid data out of it. I answered the survey honestly, so I hope they don't exclude my answers. I was quite harsh on the question (I'm paraphrasing), "Do you trust Wizards to deliver digital products?" I stated Absolutely Not. As for the...

    Maxtor External USB Hard Drive No Longer Recognized

    Assuming you are using Windows Xp you may have already tried this, but take a look anyway. If you can't see the drive in My Computer see if it's detected in Disk Manager. Occasionally I find I need to remap a removable drive to a drive letter. Strange, but true...

    Who was the best Batman?

    I am going to guess most people prefer Christian Bale. I actually like Kevin Conroy on the Batman: Animated Series the best. The Joker and Batgirl are great, too, Mark Hamill and Melissa Gilbert, respectively. Since your poll was about the live action Batman I voted for my second choice...

    It's Official. I'm a Guildie

    I am not an online roleplayer, but I find myself relating to the characters. Geeks are geeks, I guess. I also find myself trying to figure out whose character I'm similar in personality. Is that weird?

    A Quick Question on RAM and 32-bit OS

    Neat. I am deploying Windows 2008 on an older server with 8 GB of Ram; not my preferred platform, but there you go. I have Windows XP on my home PC; only 2 GB of RAM. I'll probably wait for Windows 7 to upgrade.

    Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time

    I wonder if the word 'woolhead' captures the same emotion in graphic novel form.

    A Quick Question on RAM and 32-bit OS

    Oh. I was confused because your early post states 16 GB. Thanks for the explanation.

    A Quick Question on RAM and 32-bit OS

    I am curious why 32 bit Windows 2008 Enterprise Servers can recognize up to 64 gigs; interesting. Microsoft Windows Server 2008 System Requirements Second question, with virtualization software, does physical RAM matter or what RAM you decide to give each guest OS?

    Cheesecake: Yay Or Nay?

    I rather enjoy cheesecake. For Thanksgiving this year we made a homemade Pumpkin cheesecake. The cake cracked at the top, but still tasted excellent. After that, for office Christmas party we made Plain Cheesecake. We used a water-bath this time; no more cracks.

    Digital Telivision Conversion: Ready Yet?

    I have cable TV. My bedroom TV is HDTV. I am somewhat disappointed by the HD channels; they are frequently out (I only have 3--including ESPN, History, and A&E--anyway). By the way, in case anyone is confused there is a big difference between digital and HDTV. All future TV must be digital, but...

    Help Me Find A New Used Car...

    Pbtender, that's too bad. Here's some Edmunds research Sedans 2000 Used Sedan car pricing at Edmunds Honda Civic and Mazda Protege look nice. Mid-size SUV 1999 Used SUV car pricing at Edmunds The RAV4 looks nice, but slightly more expensive than your $5k budget. Danny, I shouldn't have...

    Help Me Find A New Used Car...

    Edmunds is my friend. I would really recommend the Pontiac Vibe. It seats 4 (5 including one small child) and has tons of space available. I have a 2009 and I love it. Used Vibes can be had for a song, since GM has crappy resale value (grumbles). By the way, the Vibe is jointly made by Toyota...
