Relevent computer Haiku First snow, then silence. This thousand dollar screen dies So beautifully.

Yeah, he is the type of guy to give me free comp stuff. He had it because it wouldnt boot up so he just formated it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Open the case up and take a look, thats the easiest way to know if you have 1 or 2 physical drives.

I would agree with that No way is a 5 mega pix camera the same as a 3. If you are happy with viewing them on your pc or not printingp picture bigger then 3x4 then a 2 mega pix would be fine but I doubt thats what you want. The Cannon sureshots are good, as is the ikon coolpix.

If it doesn't display anything, even when disconnected, its just plain old shot...probably.

More than likely, you probably have the wrong smtp address listed in Outlook. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> you mean POP server don't you? (incoming)

A BRAND NEW Dell, with a 2.4 celeron (which is way more powerful then that old Duron) with 256 MB ram, an 80g hdd, cdr/w keyboard mouse and speakers AND a full legal version of XP Home for $279. Which would you spend YOUR money on?

No redundancy...twice the chance of failure.

Any reason he would be generous enough to just give you a 40 gig drive? What was he working on it for in the first place? were you out of space or what?

18 views and no one has used it? Suprising.

part of the internals of a player piano...or an early version of an electric bong

No its not, a 1.3 Duron isn't even close to a 2 G cpu., but if you want to believe thats not one of your issues, then thatsfine with me. Whats the registry key/entry it has identified as being bad?

has anyone here tried the Beta version of the Shared Computer Toolkit from MSFT? Just wanting a little feedback on its usefulness. Thanks PG7

Oh go ahead and cheat...after all, who you gonna piss off? The kiddies at G4? (like they don't ever cheat at online games)

Anybody seen my limes around here? I know I left them here somewhere......

Side note: just be grateful it was not counting down backwards, like a bomb.......

I think pete has the best solution. Find a NAS, HP makes some good ones that you can easily hot swap scsi drives in and out of (remember, that after the inital backup, you're not writing 90new gis of info everyday, just whats changed, so a set of 250G scsi will last you a while.

I still agree with pete, although your system may meet the bare minimum requirements here are the reccomended reqs. Recommended system requirements: - 512 MB of RAM - 2.0 Ghz CPU - 128 MB 3D video card Does your system meet or exceed those? i kow your cpu doesn't, what about the rest?

and make sure you don't have clienbt for ms networks installed, thats what usually prompts you for the user name and password

When you narrow it down to 2 or 3 chips based on price etc...the real deciding factor should be the on board cache. The bigger the better. 200mhz here or there is n't going to make a difference, not at those speeds (its like saying you can really tell the difference between 190mph and 200 mph, regardless, its just damn fast)

If all she needs is word, email and internet, theDell 2400 they are selling for 299 is really your best choice. Yes its over budget but if you can help her scarpe up another 100, its well worth it and it will last her forever.

and Mike Lyns start up manager.

another easy way to move t all is to simply Ghost an image of the old partition onto a larger one, and then convert it to NTFS.

Here....have some Crystals...that'll wake your virgin up... Now give me a shot....play somethin country cause I'm a George Strait junkie.....yeeehaw....ouch. that hurt my head.

Takes years of dedication, and a natural inlcination and boyhood spirit I just can not out grow......pass me the hotsauce and bring me a beer. Where do we go from here?...Capt. Tonys for breakfast burritos's........thats the ticket.

How about sound card, NIC? Just because you cleaned it doesn't mean the cpu isn't overheating, you may well be pushing it to hard.
