Because Tony could use your computer help at the shop.

Take a trip and visit Redhill.

Great idea to install some of those lights. Nicer ones have the sensor separate from the light so that you can place it where you expect traffic. The ones attached to the light are so general, that bushes moving could turn the lights on and off all night.

Handy is as Handy does, and you do.

I've been happy with the 7600GS and the X1300 from Gigabyte.

Sounds like maximum security prison.

You're not supposed to stop breathing. : ) My best was 6:45 for a mile. For longer distances, 10 minutes per mile is friendlier on my body, but still gets my heart rate between 135 and 165, depending on if it is down hill or up hill; there is no flat terrain by me.

I have a customer right now that knows he needs a Mac, but can't afford what he needs. So, he went the route of an Intel Pentium D system and installed Darwin (works pretty good). Then he managed to get Final Cut Pro up and running. He figures that when he is good enough at Final Cut Pro to...

Wow, that's great Chewy! It takes me an hour to run 6 miles.

It's also important to keep in mind that there are offices that are looking for a box replacement. They want to keep their monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers. They just need a new tower. Then, there are a few places that will happily use OpenOffice instead of MS Office - that results in...

Clocker, here is a comparison for a nice Office type system. Interestingly, that Dell Dimension E521 started at $449.00. Once you add the necessary items to the machine it is no longer competitive.

Yes, there is one system builder in my area that I would recommend outside of HLM Company.

But the question is about a vomit box. I even tell them that we refer to them as such and explain why. Then they'll point to one, asking, "What about this?" I'll see the specs and comment, "It could work, but it will be slow". Then they usually ask if I can help set it up when it arrives...

After comparing my base Office system with a Dell equivalent, and after beating their price (Dimension E521) by $300.00, I could not see recommending any vomit box.

It's nice to see that the 6300 and 6320 are the same price; same with the 6400 and 6420. The Q6600 finally dropped in price by half.

I think it's a ridiculous measurement, that's why I like using it.

Re-allocating is always the issue. : ) Currently, I'm 15 stone 10, once I was 17 stone 2. It was fun, but unhealthy. PS: Even when plural, it's still stone.

You can always hire our resident persuader, Coug, to help move things in the right direction.

When you're 6'2" it's easier to hide extra weight. My ideal weight would be 13 stone 8, but I'll settle for 14 stone. My health has been the primary reason for exercising, not necessarily my weight. Even when I'm overweight, but exercising, my health is much better.

After a 3 month hiatus, I finally starting jogging again . . . 2.5 miles used to be easier. Hopefully in the next couple weeks I'll be back where I was, and in a few months, reach my goal of 10 miles.

I was quite happy with Office 2000. The only benefits I have personally seen with Office 2003 is with Outlook 2003. Outlook 2003 has a great filtration system.

I recommended what I use, not what is supposed to be good. I'll check a review, and buy the product if necesary, then make a recommendation.

Yup.

I like using the Vantec Stealth fans.

When you go to the Windows Update page, under "Options" there is a "Review your update history" section.

What's a basement? ; )

Correct, thus the invention of the halftone.

I'm not sure, that is why I would make sure it is installed. You should be able to look at your udpate installation history.

I enjoy listening to music from Franky and Dino . . . and yes, Cognac does help (preferrably Claude Chatelier XO Extra or Hennesy Paradis Extra).

Have you installed the the big-brother type Microsoft Genuine Advantage update?

I would take your company and your boss out of the equation. Then ask, will I respect myself more if I run the half-marathon, or help out the customer in Townsville?

No.

The equivalent real estate increase as going from 1280 x 1024 to 1900 x 1200. Plus a typical decrease in pixel pitch for a sharper image.

Your board supports the socket 939 configuration, whereas the newer pinout is AM2.

Newegg would be on board since they buy from the same distributors I do (but at lower prices due to volume). Ingram Micro seems to be more forthcoming with the savings versus ASI.

Hot Dog Bun: 1) Meatballs, cheese and marinara sauce. 2) Butterfly and french toast. 3) Dip in egg then crushed rice crispies/sugar, deep fry, add three scoops of favorite icecream. 4) Let it go stale, cut into 1/2 cubes, lightly sprinkle with olive oil and italian seasoning (garlic, basil...

Good point Big Wheel.

Yup, the prices have really dropped. But not all distributors are passing on the savings yet. Happily, one of mine is passing on the savings, and I to my customers. (Although, not the $83.00 price.)

SIIG makes a variety of x1 cards that offer some helpful expansion, such as FireWire 800 and eSATA. Matrox makes the G550 x1 dual-head video card, which can drive two 19" LCD digital displays at 1280 x 1024 each. One of these Matrox cards with two Samsung 940BX displays would work great for a...

Try drinking a bottle of Bakers.

"Isn't it great when everybody wins?"

My thought: "This is why I like dogs, but have neither." : )

Swap file location and fragmentation? Do you have a switch in your boot.ini file purging your swap file during shutdown?

Down with the man!

Shared folders will also delay startup time.

I would guess that Tannin is out on an excursion enjoying the ICC World Cup on the radio.

Edward Gibbons' The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire should use up some time. :)

I've used Countrywide, BB&T and Wamu without any problems.

I would say the reduced rate of USB 2.0 is the result of hardware/firmware implementation and drivers.
