The highest capacity cells can be problematic. I prefer to specify a somewhat lower capacity cell with greater longevity under high discharge, high charge, high heat and high shock/vibration conditions. They are sometimes described as commercial/industrial/heavy duty, etc. Most manufacturers...

Over 16,000, going on 17,000 bad days. Well under 100 good days. One can do the math.

Somehow I though this thread would be about some high-tech HVAC system controlled by a Windows PC. :lol:

Both the current Ghost (aka Drive Image) and Acronis should work, but I have not tried them specifically with CF cards. Restoration still requires booting from a CD or similar. You might prefer to image directly to a DVD writer.

Maybe by 2008? ;)

Great, but I don't buy manufcaturing plants, just cars. Maybe GM has some high-end robots and cyborgs desigbning and buidling everything, but then wha

:) :D

I would happy with ATA 100, just give me thed 500GB!!!

Winter could be next March. ;) I still have yet to see the 100GB 7200RPM drive announced alomost a year ago, and where are the 120GB drives?

I also prefer replacing the batteries. Batteries Plu is popular in the area, and they take the old batteries for proper disposal.

Well, I ran the Spybot and the Adaware.

I use a 3-year old installation of Win2K with IE 5.5, but still there is no spyware. :( What exactly causes the spyware, downloading porno, mp3 files, spam e-mails, visiting criminal websiotes?

For some reason I never get any spyware. Am I missing out on something? How do you all get spyware?

OK, Maxtrior, Matrxo, whaterevr.

How can you be so sure? Q3 could be July/August/September, or even December for all we know.

Well, it is about time. Now the question is who will be first to distribute 500GB drives, Seagate, IBM or Matrox?

It jsut sounds too ghood to be true, so I am naturlich suspicious.

The PCI slot is used only to supply power and as a physical location. The interface is SATA.

http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,121105,00.asp Since my OS/apps would fit in 4GB, I could really use the disk space gained by removing ye olde 15K.3. Iss this device for real, or will there be problems with DOS utilities etc.?

I usually must rent GM cars when traveling for business. Although they are getting better over the years, GM is still not a brand that I would purchase, special deal or no. Everybody does not need to drive like a maniac. I would prefer less effort spent on the HP wars and more emphasis on...

So are GM sales down or what?

That is 2 months too late or 10 months too early. :)

Er, I though Deep Throat was something else. :o

A link to what? From Googles? There are eight new members in five days (I don't count).

Oh yeah, that reminds me. I have to lfy up there this summer too. I'd rather go on the Manchester, beacus Boston is always a PITA.

The long triop is a personal one, if I even make it. The problem these days is that smaller and smaller planes are being used to reduce operating costs. Remeber when 747s were used from coast to coast and L1011s or DC-10s were used for the short 12200 mile flights? Flying for 1.5 hours in the...

I just retunred from overseas a couple of days ago. Then there are trips in June and July in the US and a long one in August (three continents in two days). And there will probably be a few unplanned travels as well. :(

Eric is gone; only a decaying shell remains.

Wow, you are lucky to fly so infrequently! I fly a little more than average, maybe 10-12 trips/30-40K miles per year, and it not fun most of the time. LAX to Auckland can be rough, right up there with DC or JFK to Narita or my least favorite, JFK to Joburg.

Greg, Have you shopped recently? ATA drives are under $0.50 per GB, often much less with a rebate. The major manufacturers have returned to 3-year warranties and Seagate has a 5-year warranty. A 300GB 10K SCSI drive is about 5x as costly as an ATA drive. Even if one could get by with only...

I have never even ridden a bicyle, but agree that TV coverage is inconsistent to say the least. In the US there seems to be more and more of the American footbal and the NASCAR auto racing, which consists of nothing but white guys driving cars in a small circle for hours and hours.

Same sh*t, different interface?
