Wrong. Being the OP, I should know. The intent was to share MY views, not piss off you. They call it having an opinion. Anyway, it's old news now.

I miss my old friend Il-wiccan. Hope you are well. Joe

Apology not necessary, but thank you. It's really nice to see that the admins take complaints seriously and then act to resolve them. That is very comforting and all too unusual on most other forums.. The password required forum sounds like a good idea. Not sure how much I'll use it, but nice to know it's available. Thanks for the great work. Joe

Great tune. How about sticking with the original song. Everytime 5 comes around it "Five Golden Rings.....". Maybe you can substitute : Five AOHells"......

Good luck, seems you need it. Ain't THAT the truth!

And who said there's no such thing as miracles? Good Riddance G4. Let's see what TV network picks up Leo LaPorte and then watch how soon it folds.

I took the local built Athlon back last night. They acknowleged that indeed was not the same system they showed me and said they would put the proper MB and the PCI Express card back in. The excuse was something like "Oh, the main store decided to change it a little due to the fact that we are now giving a "free" Epson printer away with it". (Actually it was never offered to me and I don't want it anyway. $90 out the door and then the rebate game.) So I'm going back to the store now to pick up the hopefully complete PC. We'll see. Joe

OK Mac. I'll trust that you'll do the right thing. Thanks, Joe

Wrong, martymas. Mine was deleted also. That's the reason I started this thread. To set the record straight for all those who did not see my post before it was summarily "deleted to avoid issues", you can check it out on my site Here. Pretty benign, wouldn't you say? Kind of tounge in cheek too. See, the problem with arbitrary censorship is that it creates more interest in the subject that the censors want to "avoid" to begin with. Case in point: you're looking at this now. It really dosen't matter whether or not the questionable subject was completely obscene, or as in my case, completely b

OK. I took the Compaq out of the box last night after my sweetie went to bed. Started it up, all was good. Except the HD sounded like a lawnmower. Then I read some of the threads here about the hidden Windoze partition and saw that I also had that problem. I packed it up and am going to return it to Fry's tomorrow. Seemed like a decent system, but it still was a Compaq. Today I went over to a "local" PC shop and bought anAMD Athlon 64 PC with a 80 gig Sata HDD, 512 DDR Ram, CDRW/DVD drive, card reader, Windoze Home WITH a full install CD, and all the usual goodies. Only problem is that the p

No. If you have WiFi built into them, that means they already have Wifi "cards". Probably mini pc cards. You're all set to go. Joe

Hi Marty. Just wondering, do you have onbord video? Is the bios set correctly for the video? Not trying to read a PCI slot, for instance? I have an older than hell Cyrix 686 comuter and that happened to me once. Joe

Thanks for the reply, IEHD.

Does anyone here have any thoughts about the Compaq Presario SR1620nx? I bought one for my SO for Christmas. It comes with XP Home, a DVD R/RW burner (dual layer too), ATI 200 Express onboard video, onboard sound, 6 in 1 card reader, onboard 10/100 lan card, 160 gig HDD, 512mb DDR Ram (upgradable to 4gig) The only thing that bothers me is the CPU. It's a AMD Sempron 3400+. Clock speed is 2 gHz. I did a lot of research and most of the reviews were quite good. A large part of this was due to the fact that AMD supposedly brought the L2 cache back up to 256. The former model 3300+ was only 128 L2

On a slightly different note: My S.O.'s damn dogs have a new habit of whining by her side of the bed all night long. So THEY are now getting doggie valium at night. Last night one of them was OK, but the other started in around 5AM again. Double the dosage tonight.
