HI I have a bunch of forms that are PDF's, and, I'd like to be able to use a computer to fill them out, rather then my horrible handwriting. Does anyone have a PDF program that allows you: copy an original then fill in the original, or edit it, then save the copy, and print it? Something that...

I just bought a 640 gig Seagate drive with 5 year warranty. It does over 100 mb/sec data transfer, and, so far, the reviews have been very good on reliability. That said, I noticed Newegg had a NOT of bad things said about Seagate 7200 rpm drives, and, shopped carefully.

I have a problem with this post. From this list, I see TWO, TWO drives that have had reduced warranty.

Thanks for the help. Turned out it was the face plate causing the floppy to bind and not load. Pulled the floppy out, and, as long as the floppy drive has no label, it works fine. Installed Fujitsu MAT refurb 10k, 110 dollars, 147 gigs. Hypermicro advertized the drives as 15k's, and, then would...

Hi I'm using an LSI 120320 card, and a 10k 147 GB drive. I can't get the floppy drive to accept a disk. So, how can I install XP w/o a floppy drive to send the windows installer to, to install the driver for the LSI card??? Anyway to do this? Thanks GS

Despite IRS incentive, I think this one might be good to wait a year?

OHHHH, the pain.... I've been waiting SOOOOO long for one that would have decent, or even, doable capacity. 32 gb is just barely enough for this machine. So, fill me in. What interface? Is it really 4 times faster, in most functions? My current dual cheetah, raid O, under HD tune does...

Hi David P160. It's actually a caddy for a removeable Sata, just like the one above it. They have little blue tabs limiting the reward travel of the drives on the ones above it. Thanks Greg

Hi David I'm trying to install another drive in the computer you built me. I'm missing some kind of clips that hold the drive in place for the last drive bay. Looks like a blue, screw in piece to hold the drive in place. Do you have a couple more? Thanks greg

Might have a look at Panasonic. If you do a bit of a search, they have dropped a ton in price, and, there are some great deals slightly used.

Hi David It was the second. Ordered one tonight. I'm going to open a second amendment law firm, and, I need a server, web page, etc. that consumes little power, but is plenty fast. Can we talk? Do you have my cell? Regular phone is changed. Thanks S

Anyone have a link to that newegg.com power tester? Time to get one. Thanks S

HMMMM. NOW I'm supposed to listen to an orange semi human.... Seems to me the cat already runs the house: bowling ball, 15 pounds, with claws and teeth...

Hi Pradeep Can't figure out if the 1650 AGP would work with Blue Ray. I can't really see trashing my dual Xeon rig just for a different video card setup, at this point. Nvidia maybe in the future...Plus, I like the 3540 dual burners I have. Guess I could try an external, USB 2.0 Bluray...

"You know what's really weird, is school has an internet connection that is 25 ms ping, and 25 mb/sec. Yes, that's not a typo. 25 mb/sec. " OK. Not a typo just inaccurate. 25ms and 25 MB/sec.

Pulling a sysco switch out of the system seems to have cut the ping time in half. You know what's really weird, is school has an internet connection that is 25 ms ping, and 25 mb/sec. Yes, that's not a typo. 25 mb/sec. WTF?????? Also, since the modem has a firewall, I turned off Windows...

Hi I recently upgraded to cable 5.8 mb/sec, sometimes. Astound. What I've found is that for some reason, NOD 32 is slowing my uploads down. I put it on pretty much max protection settings, and, it was a notice able difference from default settings. Currently running Default, and, it seems to...

Installed the Linksys stuff. About 500k faster then the Surfboard Modem, and, the router/switch allows full speed to the computers, which is about 5.9 mb/sec, at best. At worst, instead of getting 700k, I'm getting 1.5 MB/sec. I wonder what they are going to do with the phones. The wiring for...

Hi David What I was trying to point out is the Swiftechs are so good at pulling heat away from the processor, by their very thick base plate, and 'fins' that they work as well, or better, then the Scythe Ninja Plus. I've found the Scythe requires more airflow, in other words, cranking the fans...

David: http://www.swiftnets.com/ ntroduction: The MCX-VPro™ heatsink is a high performance-low noise thermal solution for Intel® Xeon™ processors. It replaces the MCX603-V and MCX604-V heatsinks, and includes retentions mechanisms for all know Xeon™ compatible motherboards. I've found that with...

HMMMM. That's not what they were offering us, I don't think. I thought they were offering standard, regular phone wiring for their service here. The guy dropped the a linksys router, and cable modem by, but, they don't have power supplies, yet. Found em on the net for about 9 bucks each...

Server 2003 is fine with me, most of the time. When I thought about it, the feeling, and lack of intuitive interface to get to the TCP/IP settings reminded me a LOT of doing the same thing with OS X. Anybody have both to compare the same steps?

Turns out the signal was +12 DB/MV. Now it's around 0. A noticeable bit snappier. But, the plot thickens. Astound is testing VIOP, and, they are upgrading their system. They are doing it by dumping a bunch of customers on one node, while they upgrade the other nods, hence the extreme...

Hi Mercutio The cable now goes from a box they had outside, through my wall, straight to my modem. The bad wiring is pretty much gone, or, should be, unless they put their box on the end of comcasts old line... Your situation sounds like a typical cable nightmare. Where is Jim Carrey when you...

Sometimes the conspiracy theorist gets carried away. What if, on this new install, they just crank the line ability way down, to sell you the 10 mb/sec package? I just ran three tests, highest 1400k, lowest 965. Average is 3.7 mb/ sec, my isp average 5.1 mb/sec.

Anyone heard about Astound doing VOip?

Somehow not all that funny....;-)

How much is that little toy, and, where did you get it?

They've been trying to sell me 10 mb/sec, so, that suggests that the limitation is on the modem, not the line... That would probably ensure not at least going slower then my ADSL. David, I'd been thinking about going with Vonnage, but, with 700k speeds at the peak times my girlfriend likes to...

Yes, I think you are right. Just got done reading about an ATT banning for life a kid who did this. I'll call the guy tonight, and see what he says. Wonder if it's actually a governor on the modem creating the speed limit???

Ok. This deserves a bit of writing. We've had three guys come out. First two are basic setup guys. The guy today knows a bit more, but, he's a MAC guy!;-( ;-) Anyway, over a number of cups of coffee, I sort of found out the history of cable in this area. Early this morning I had called ATT...

"What is the quickest way to get the dialog window open to give a machine a static IP address? If a quick way exists I haven't found it. In fact, the new way is so unintuitive I keep forgetting how to get in there." EXACTLY! That's what I was trying to do, actually turned out I was deleting...

I recently worked on Vista, and, I couldn't help but think Vista=OS X.-10. It seemed to combine the worst features of OS X, the slowness, weird controls, etc. with the worst of windows. Haven't worked with it much, but, I really don't even want to consider it...

Well, it's monday night, and, I'm between 700k and 3 mb/sec, with more of them below 1.5 mb/sec. Ping time has gone up to almost 70, and, my ADSL has never tested below 1.2 mb/sec, regardless of when I tested it. I could still cancel the service. When it's working at 5 mb/sec, it's nice, but...

While much faster, most of the time, I'm getting timed out messages I didn't before. Is there a setting on my machine that could be causing that, or on the router?

How can you tell what the machines consumption is? Are you using a monitor?

Hi I'm giving cable a try, and, we are at about 3-5 mb/sec, with a 40ms ping time. ADSL was 1.2 mb/sec, don't remember the ping time. So, questions are: Why would the cable sometimes have a bit of a lag in getting to certain sites? Why does Astound charge. 4.75 for a late fee, when that's...

I think Mercutio has hit the nail on the head. In silicon Valley alone, responsible for at one time the 6th largest economy in the world, or so Kali used to be rated, you have some very rich, very much irrational people who can afford the endless new toys their apple stuff is...

I just hit the send button, and, the message above was sent, but, the connection timed out. I tried to send it again, and, I got the duplicate post message, wait 5 minutes.

You REALLY want to figure out how Sheiks, Sony, and other ultra rich folks want to manipulate the market? It's simple. They buy huge, run the price up on anything they think maybe something they can manipulate, run up it's value, dump their stocks at the top, drive the price down by their...

Udaman: Your posts, and attacks on long time friends here are getting REALLY annoying. Merc hates Sony. They've earned it. I despise Apple, and, they likewise have earned it. The folks here have been together a long time, nearly ten years, and, we do take it personally when you attack one of...

cost me 100 grand, betting on MSFT, and, stuff that should have been very safe...I paid for my position...

I've noticed that Blu-ray isn't exactly flying. Prices for players are still 4-6 times a DVD player. Do you think Sony will kill it by charging too much for royalties?

You are truly foolish if you think any of the stuff you posted has ANYTHING to do with stock prices. If you decide you want to gamble, and play on the shoe strings of ultra-rich folks that play games, and manipulate by buying and dumping stocks, feel free to loose as much money as you want...

HMMM. If I went with the 6mb/sec connection over the 1.5 mb/sec, would that be enough to not have to worry about interrupts with Vonnage? Thanks Greg

David: I'm looking at Vonage. What router are you using? How do you have yours setup? Thanks GS

Yes. They have an email program for graduates that gives you an email address: '....@post.harvard.edu I thought it might be a department, since they also have addresses like @law.harvard.edu Thanks Figured it out...
