You are correct, Cougie. Latest (and likely final) Service Pack level for Vista and Windows Server 2008 is SP-2. Latest Service Pack level for Windows-7 and Windows Server 2008 /R2 is SP-1. Vista and Windows Server 2008 are also Windows NT 6.0. Windows-7 and Windows Server 2008 /R2 are...

To start off, I've had 4-each AA Sanyo Eneloop 2000 mAh batteries for a year now. These things are wonderful! They easily outlast -- by a significant margin -- Energizer and other brands of 2500 mAh batteries. They do not loose their charge anywhere near as fast as "standard" NiMH batteries in...

That was pretty much the same thing I experienced with the local ChimpUSA that closed. I stopped by the first week -- mostly to see what stock was on-hand that could be of interest (and to take note of current pricing). Everything was allegedly 10% or 20% off, but nobody seemed to be buying...

You can buy these at Fry's (and other places) for US$29.99. The really *great* thing about this SATA drive bay is that when you purchase one, you don't need to buy any carriers for any hard drives -- EVER. This drive bay only handles bare drives without carriers. You simply push the bare...
