  2. Looking Around For A Laptop In 2 Months

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Posted

    Ok so as my title says i might be buying one. My main activity on it will be watching movies on the road so a good battery life is essential. Screen size doenst bother me. Even a 15 inch will do. Another big thing is price. I want it around 700 to 800 if possible. I guess it can hit 1000 but I really really want to avoid that. Iv looked at Dells line up as well as IBM's (Lenovo) so far.

    Ok finnaly got Ubuntu installed on my lappy. Im trying to get it online but Im having problems.

    I went into Networking and clicked on properties for my wifi card. I configured it. I have it my ESSID (I think thats the same as SSID) and I put in my WEP key. I tried using DHCP and Static IP but neither has worked. I still cannot connect to the internet am I missing a step somewhere.

  14. Faulty Cd Drive

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    I have this cd drive which has been problematic for as long as I can remember. Somedays it will work perfectly fine other days it wont read disks at all. When its being problematic the drive spins up and then slows down then spins up again for mabey a minute or so. Then it finnaly stops. In My computer it says there is no disk inserted but there is one. I put my cleaner disk in there and ran it through for 20 minutes but that hasnt helped. Iv checked all the connections etc etc...

    Is this drive just dying/dead? Warrenty is definately gone by now so I cant send it back. Its my secondary drive so its not essential to my system. Somtimes it nice to be able to burn two CDs at once though.

    That actually reminds me. I dont think I have ever had a problem burning disks in that drive... Just reading them.

    Remember in the good ol days. You remember those old hosts? What ever happened to them. I know they were gone long before g4 came along but still. Are they still out there providing tech help/news like Leo and rest do on TWIT? I was looking at Sultan's sig and there is a side by side image of Cat and Morgan and that got me thinking.

  20. Aim Triton

    No not really. Its not going to be easy as AIM but on a difficulty scale of 1-10 with AIM being 1

    Trillian is about 3. You can use different AIM accouts and MSN accounts and trillian will place them all in one nice buddy list.

  24. Speed Up Sharing On Home Network

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Posted

    I sometimes share some files on one computer so I can always acess them on my other ones. My only problem with this is that it takes forever for my computer to connect to the computer and navigate through the shared folders. I mean isnt a LAN supposed to be fast? Is there something I should be configuring to speed things up or is it just how its going to be.
