Yah Pete, it seems the domain is now gone and the site is probably lost now...too bad. But with the founder now departed (RIP buddy), I didn't think it was going to last much longer. He'll always be remembered by the friends he had here tho, and we'll keep his memory alive thru us.

It is sad, anyone who fights for animal rights is a hero in my books. This may seem odd but I had a feeling about 2 weeks ago that Steve was going to be killed soon, and todays news just made the hair on my neck stand straight up when I heard it...just freaky weird. Why in the world did that thought just hit me like a brick the other week...it was a very strong feeling too. While at times I thought he was just too agressive with his tactics, one cannot fault his enthusiasm or love for the animals he spent his life protecting. My prayers go out to his wife Terry and their 2 children.

I don't think I can be any clearer here, it seems you just don't get it. As I stated to you before, you're not telling folks who know "something about computers" anything new here, we can do our own research and make our own choices thank you. A Besttechie tutorial is designed to help people who may not understand what it is they need to look for, or ask a salesman about in a new Power Supply, understand how a PSU works, what it does, what one needs to have to be considered good, and how to calculate what size they mey need. Explanations of the different types for different CPU's would be req

Well, as I said in PM's, this isn't what we would consider as an "Tutorial", so don't expect to see this in the KB anytime soon. I have a couple of issues with this, and in no order here they are... First, this is more of an advertisement than a tutorial. You've simply listed brands by what, in your opinion, is Great, Good, or Crappy ( a term that I would not use in a tutorial). Your title of "How to pick a PSU" should be more like..."PSU Recommendations", as you don't really tell people "HOW" to pick they're own PSU, but more tell them what PSU's to pick. Uh, after your listings, they Still

I only counted her saying that 6 times JDoors.....literally. Like, I guess it's better than, like, her saying like, "Like" all the time eh, like people do like all the time now, cause that really, like, bugs me eh...

Yah, definately dude! Drew was a loved and respected member here, so anything about his personal site is welcomed openly here, just as any other member's personal sites are as well! Still sux big time to think about our buddy Drew, but we'll always have our memories at least...RIP bud.

I was also looking at that graphics card Jeff so let me know how it works for you. The testing sites show that it's a very capable card and very good for the price, is yours SLI capable? So far, this is what my next system is going to look like.. Case - Thermaltake Shark MB - Intel D975XBX 1066Mhz FSB CPU - Intel E6700 Dual core 2.66Ghz X 2, 4MB unified L2 cache RAM - OCZ Dual Channel 2048MB PC8000 DDR2 1000Mhz Graphics - Nvidia 7600GT PCI-E Sound - ? (integrated audio on MB is pretty awesome as it is) HDD's - ? PSU - ? (over 550 at least) Optical's - DVR-CD burner X 2, unknown make yet, and y

Holy Crap....!! (I can say that...not YOU ) Has it been 2 years already? I guess so huh, I almost completely overlooked that lil factoid. Well, what can I say but THANK YOU to all the wonderful folks that make up our BESTTECHIE.NET Community!! Without you guy's-N-gal's we wouldn't be here, so I think the BIG thx has to go to you all out there that keep this place going and keep it the Best Place in the WWW to hang your hats! Jeff & I have put allot of work into this little place for you folks and we have some Fantastic Mods & Staff that also work tirelessly to keep this place clean a

Yah, repair installs work pretty darned good most times! I actually haven't seen a repair install fail yet, and trash the personal data on the drive, so it's a fairly safe thing to do. I didn't know you were still W98 JDoors?? How come no upgrade to XP yet....hardware issues? XP has matured beatifully into MS's most stable and relaible platform ever, and so far from what I've seen with Vista, I'm staying with XP!! All the good stuff they originally were going to go with in Longhorn/Vista, have been dropped out and now it's nothing more than a resource hogging, slower OS with eye candy and not

Hi Marty I'm sure he's Ok, he doesn't usually post too much here, I believe he hangs out mostly at WindowsBBS where Pete does most of his posting nowadays also. I haven't talked to him lately and because of that, I'll send him an email just to see what he's been up to lately and I'll post back when I hear from him. I'm sure he's ok tho as G-junior would've contacted me if anything was wrong.

Hello Everyone This notice was released today from Dell, that 4.1 million notebooks sold by Dell between April 2004 to July 18th of this year, will be recalled because of an extreme fire hazard created by the Lithium Ion batteries in them that are made by Sony. Anyone having purchased a Dell notebook between these dates that doesn't recieve a recall notice should contact Dell at their toll free number which can be found on this Dell Page on Battery Recall that has more info on this. Thanks, and I hope you do not have one of these, or if you do...it has not yet exploded in flames...

I told you that you'd fit right in here didn't I Snyper....heheh! You're just as depraved as the rest of us, well, maybe not as much as Mac is, but darn close.

That was Hilarious! I loved it...I gotta send that to a few folks I know...heheh

Thought for today A man trying to understand the nature of God asked him, "God, how long is a million years to you"? God answered, "A million years is like a minute." Then the man asked, "God, how much is a million dollars to you"? And God replied, "A million dollars is like a penny." Finally, the man asked, "God, could you give me a penny"? And God said,......... "In a minute." Just thought everyone should read this so I posted it in here.

"Page not Found" for your link Mac, too bad I was kinda interested in what it could be. I've always been a type X personality (some call it type A too) where I find dangerous things are exciting....scary still, but exciting. I don't do stupid stuff tho, I carefully calculate whether it's within my physical and mental limits before I go for it. Even at work we don't take stupid risks unless we know there's a life to be saved for sure. Any doubt and we have to measure the risks involved of possibly trying to save a dead person. Sorry but I won't kill myself going after someone who has most likel

JDoors You're a "Climber" then, and as long as you feel you can make the climb safely you'll continue on. I'm the same way too, I used to freeclimb absolutely EVERYTHING! Got myself into a couple of tight situations doing that too, like finding a 15' thick vein of crumbly shale 75' up a 100' cliff...can't go down safely either...yeeks! Had to persevere thru that stuff to finish, man that was scary. Never felt like a solid foothold anytime during that free climb thru the shale. As long as I feel I have a grip I'll climb anything, but I won't stand at the edge and look over....nope...uh-uhh. I w

Hi xxkbxx I'm going to "thumbnail" your images so it doesn't mess with the page size formatting anymore. Please use that type of image embedding please, especially with such oversize images. Thx! BTW - Pretty cool idea! EDIT - I couldn't thumbnail as the images are not stored on BT, so I changed them to links instead.

Not stupid AT ALL!!! RAM is NOT hot swappable, HDD's can be but not the RAM! Changing RAM sticks with power on to the machine is a GREAT way to find out who's selling RAM cheap in your area...

Hi Marty Yes, for using INSIDE of programs already open, but this is used to OPEN those most used programs double quick, if you were confused about that at all. I had forgotten about this sometime ago and when I came across it the other day again, I just had to show others this useful little option. I used to have most programs set up that way, but with a programmable keyboard I can program my F keys to do those functions also. I have to turn on my F key lock to do it still so the KB shortcuts would still be faster most times, I'll have to set it up both ways I think! Hi Flatiron No prob budd

So...you're gonna dance nekkid in the streets tomorrow or the next couple days??? Is that how I'm reading that? (video highlights will be available at www.dumbnekkidguy.com) Hitest - I'm also scared of hieghts, but I've made 1846 jumps from perfectly good aircraft. There is a huge difference between standing on the edge on top of a 15 story building, and hanging from the side of an airplane at 14,000' ASL. Your mind does not recognize the usual objects at that hieght and therefore doesn't really register altitude, but on top of the building you see cars, people, dogs, mailboxes...and your min

Who are you again...??? Mac-who?? You know better than that dude, Luv Ya!

Hi Marty I'm not sure of your question here...did you make some shortcuts and they're not working, or did Sultan get it right and answer your question? If you still need help don't hesitate to ask buddy!

Hi DD No, there's no message that pops up unfortunately, but it's only if that program is open and has focus when it will stop the shortcut from working. It doesn't matter that anything else uses that combination as long as it's not open and has focus, you can still use them for your programs. Not many programs have 3 key stroke combinations really, and the ones that do don't have many. Most programs KB shortcuts are 2 keystroke combo's like ALT+F or CTRL+F kinda thing, that's why a 3 stroke combo will rarely have an issue. AFAIK, only my email program has a couple of 3 stroke combo's it uses,

Hiya Folks! I've just finished a small tutorial about how to create a keyboard shortcut to open your most commonly used programs...Check It Out! Keyboard shortcuts are real time savers and any Power User worth their salt uses them extensively. Almost all programs today have keyboard shortcuts in them to open menu's and quickly do other functions, and once you learn them you can speed your use considerably. This tutorial is not how to use all keyboard shortcuts, but how to create your own to open your favorite programs instantly! It really speeds things up, you'll have to try it out. I'll be wr

How to Create a Keyboard Shortcut to Start Your Favorite Programs Hi Everyone! This is a VERY handy little thing to have, to help you launch your favorite programs just that "Little Bit Faster"! Anyone who uses keyboard shortcuts within Windows itself, Windows Programs, or Third Party Programs, knows how much faster they are compared to using the mouse to point & click at something. Power Users have known the secret to using the keyboard to navigate through program menu's & options for years, and pretty much all programs nowadays have keyboard shortcuts embedded into them, they make co
