    My antennae are fixed on the card, in the computer. They are long, and gave me a good jump in my prior residence. If I wasn't rebuilding the computer this week, I would buy the above antenna right now. GREAT part! Thank you! The cable from the wall to the modem is short. I could buy a 25 foot...

    Once again.... I am sure your far greater experience, and expertise is correct. I'm just the stupid rookie here. I disagree that the Chinese care about their reputation. They have a monopoly on car batteries. They have no competition. We are a colony, again. Last quote I saw for a blown car...

    Rechargeable batteries or China and Amazon giving it to us> Never buy an electric car

    I decided why go with disposable batteries? Rechargeables are the way to go. I bought a bunch of Chinese NIMH and Lions through Amazon. Charged them with cheap chargers, put them in, and they failed pretty quickly. Only way I could tell is the Bluetooth stuff in Win 10 showing the mouse % for...

    My only gripe about Unicomp is the plastic keyboard cover, with shipping, is still 42 dollars here. Heck, thats 30% or more, of the cost of the keyboard, and, generally, they suck, typing wise.

    I have a tiny bedroom, about 50-65 feet from the only cable input, and place to put the router and wifi. Fiancee was living in the living room, so she had priority.

    Thanks. Now I have ideas. I'm doing ok. A bad day is a 170 mb/sec good is 300. I just setup a 605 that's been sitting around forever, and noticed no difference.

    I have a bunch of Chinese POS 8k cables. Out of three of them, none would plug into the card. I'm using a really old one, in slot one, and it does 3840 at 120mhz, but, it cuts out. If I drop the frame rate to 60mhz, it runs fine, and doesn't cut out.

    Need a Decent Phone

    I don't know if a move from a 6.2 to a 6.4 screen, 9s+ to A54, hardly seems worth it. The Sonys are a REAL jump up. 12 mb of RAM? 6.5 wide screen? HMMMM. Do Sony phones come with Sony junk software, like Samsungs junk software?

    DD: I'm still stuck on 9S+. I can't find any phones that have an SD card slot. Big deal, because I like the variety of 230 mb of mp3's. The 6.8" screen on the S22 isn't big enough? I was thinking about moving to that size, but passed.
