ROFL!! 5 out of ten... gs

I bid on ebay for a sony, but I'm glad I was just outbid. I really like my Canon, and it's lense. Buying a digital body, with high resolution, and being able to use a 1.5 multiplier on the lense, and, being able to do serious, high density, large pictures, sounds like a dream. I think I'll...

You buy tri tips for around 4-5 bucks a pound, at Costco. With Filet going for 15 $ a pound, and New York $10 dollars a pound, it's enough to make one a vegitarian... By the way, the trip tip was about 2 pounds, and I think I went through about 10-12 oz. Fantastic. Marinate in Lea &Perrins...

Well, I couldn't figure out a way to boot from floppies, and fix the existing operating system. It required dual installation of the UL3d drivers, so the os could see the raid array. Once I figured that out, I decided I would reformat in ntfs, and start again. I'm not sure why the cd drives...

I took the settings from the documents provided. Apparently when the device was installed, the rpc wasn't set. I just did that, terminated the drive, changed slots with the card, and restarted. The card shows up, in device manager, the DVD player shows up as 'unknown' but working properly in...

One other quick note. The adaptec card is supposed to be either a 2906 or 2930. Is the Aic-7850 driver right for this device.? gs

I don't think this is a scsi problem, but a mother board problem. I have two open slots, and I've connected both a firewire card, and a scsi Adaptec AIC-7850 card. I've put both in these two slots, and niether one works. Windows 2000 has drivers for the card, and for the drives, both the...

I'm trying to reconfigure my computer, amd 1.4 ghz, Athlon, and add firewire, and change the scsi setups. However, I can't find the jumper settings anywhere for the Pioneer DVD player. I have had problems writing with the Plexwriter 12/10/32s, and Roxio adaptec Easy CD creator 4.0, and, my...

I'm trying to setup a way to move large video files from school to home, to store. I have 3 jazz drives, and one of them works fine with the mac. In fact, all three work fine with the mac. For some reason, they suck eggs on my pc slow card, even when termination is on, and they are on proper...

Sony mvc-fd51? That's what the school has, and it works just fine, printing to a floppy, that both mac and pc can see. Plus, the price is right. I borrow, and take pics of the kids work. Canon later, after Christmas. gs

Canon Eos is a 6mb pixel camera. I know myself. I'd buy one for 500 bucks, be disgusted, and then be out the 500 bucks, and the balance for the new camera. Apparently the Canon eats memory, and it's expensive, high speed memory as well. The guy at the store said Canon is now only making...

Well, I just priced everything, and I'm not jazzed. 900 for the camera, 339 for the memory, 1 gig, add another 100 for the card reader. Only saving grace is my Rebel zoom is multiplied by 1.5, which works for me. That beyond stretches my budget :cry: gs

Canon Digital Eos 300D??? Canon Digital Eos 300D??? I like SLR's. My mother always bought, and I always borrowed, Nikon SLR's. I currently have a regular Canon Eos. What do you all think of the new camera, and are the lenses compatible? What are the hidden costs for a Digital camera...

Hi I'm considering a digital camera for taking pictures of my kids, and their work. My question is, what cameras, and companies, have a good track record for software, and system compatibility? I can't help but think about my 1200 dollar Nikon scanner, that has no updates past windows 98, and...

Problem is, the most likely problem I'm going to face is not the machine, dying, but having someone break in and steal it, though I think this unlikely at the school I am currently working. The prices people are getting on ebay for jazz and zip stuff reflects it's value. It's not much, but...

You've got a couple very good points. Let's see. DVD-r is a possibility, but not until they drop off the new item ripoff pricing list. When they hit about 100-150, then I'll switch. The other problem is the media needs to be one everyone is using, and often with the parents I have, they...

Well, I have 10 students, and, as they work, I scan in everything they do, and have to save it for 3 years for a portfolio presentation. I suspect that the wisest money would be a safe deposit box, and, as the 36 gigs of storage fill up, burning it to CD, and storing it in the safe deposit box...

I should be more specific. Not scsi vs ide, but Seagate Cheetah's vs. IDE. I still have the 4 cheetahs, puchased in 1997, that were in the box originally. They now reside as infrequently used backups for a raid box, on an old pc. I've also had reasonably good luck with Quantum LM's. Not so...

Mirror 1 The concept of buying a cheap, high capacity, low reliability ide drive for storage just doesn't make sense to me. The only way I could see doing it, is, if the drives are dual, in other words, raid 1. Under softraid, I could raid two drives, each masters, on the tempo card, and...

HI My new school district is all macs. So, to get things going, I brought out my g3, 33hmhz with 9.22, Cheetah 10x on an uw card, using an LVD cable, and termination. I bought a Tempo 3 in one card. It has four fire wire ports, 2 usb external, and, it looks like two ide 133 channels...

Politicians, as a general rule, are the lowest form of human life. The less influence they have over your life, and the fewer laws, within a couple reasons, the better. Looking to a politican to save a bad situation is like trying to win money in Las Vegas: the odds are seriously against you. gs

I don't really want to go into this. I feel just as strongly about Clinton, the darling of the bomb. Screwing Monica, or almost screwing Monica, let's bomb Afganistan and get involved in Bosnia, supporting the Moslem side :roll: If that doesn't work, let's let in refugees from Haiti, an...

Well, I live in a country, Kalifornia, ravaged by facist-liberals, that, what a shock, destroyed the economy of the 6th largest country in the world, Kalifornia. I really wonder how much control you want your congress to have over your business. While I would not allow people to enter the...

Yep: Anger getting the better part of the post. I remember my principal, who was trying to f... me, coming in, and seeing 9 working computers, after she had stone walled any requests for any supplies. She WAS pissed. You could tell on her face. No, "What a miracle involved". Her name is...

I like results where Seagate wins. They have always been good to me, and every drive I've bought, except for the Quantum LM, has been a Seagate cheetah. My laptop needs a new drive, and now, I know what to buy, if, it will fit... gs

My boss, at the Shadowbrook, Ted Burke, was one of the geniuses :roll: that bought one of those POS. It took a minute to enter a single digit entry, on a wine inventory program the SF had written. He also bought another POS inventory, Point of sale system, that, while on the bleeding edge...

Getting rid of stuff, really sucks. As a school teacher at a ghetto school, I couldn't get the frigging people that disposed of the computers to give me a call. Most likely, the pricks have their own way of making money on the disposal(Vallejo). I was REALLY good at putting together broken...

Besides Tiger Woods Golf, that for some reason won't work on 2000 anymore, I have a couple, but the only game I really use is Quake 3. Go for it. However, I still get my butt kicked, and stuck, on the last level. I've beat the guy a couple times, but I've spent way too much loosing my...

http://pub105.ezboard.com/fczechpistols82792frm9.showMessage?topicID=436.topic this thread gives leads to the better deals around. I usually buy locally. It's because I like to support local business in Kalifornia, because they get screwed by our government, read state, and federal new...

Guys always kid me about my desire for large caliber guns. I like 45 super, which is close to 44 mag. I also know exactly what they are talking about as far as the 454/ 45 colt ripping up, with heavy loads. I'm having my grips redesigned to take the recoil a bit better then a plow handle...

Well, the S&W 500 looks more like a 45-70 opened up to .500, to me. That gun weighs 72 oz, or three pounds more then most handguns. I think that may just be too big for a handgun. 40 oz is a very heavy big gun to carry around. I'm not sure the extra 30 oz, and size, is worth the benefits of...

http://www.gunblast.com/Paco.htm Just started playing with the above. See how it works. I have a .224 barreled Colt Trooper, that is currently being gripped, and reworked by a master smith. This tool makes sure the bullets fit. The pistol shot thumbnail at 10 yards with high vel ammo...

http://www.marvelprecision.com/beauty.htm While I haven't used one, the Kimber 22lr conversion is supposed to be accurate, as well. S

Good article. Rifling parameters have always been rather clear as far as twist for caliber, and bullet length. Only our government had problems with that, and they wanted a bullet to be unstable, so on entry, it would tumble, causing more damage then a regular non-expanding bullet. I like...

It's weird, Clocker, that it's so hard to find a really accurate 9mm. The major problem is usually trigger pull. Brownings are famous for being difficult to get a target trigger. Don't know about CZ's, but what I like about 1911's is so many parts are made for them, that if you need...

I got to the point that I had spent 3 grand, or, actually, 5500 bucks on their machines, and the POS had crippled PCI bus, and, crippled ide channels, to the tune of half the industry standard, paying nearly twice as much. The dell I bought at the same time, with a 440 BX mobo, is still and 400...

Clocker: I reloaded, in the 80's, for a number of VERY good shooters. One had a brand new sig 9mm. I remember loading the 115 hps at well over max book specs, trying to give the guy a real handful. Turns out, the rounds didn't even CYCLE his gun. I had to eat the entire batch, replace the...

Clocker: The truth is, as cheap as 9mm is, it isn't worth reloading, and, when reloading, the damn bullets are too small for my big, fat fingers to easily seat. I might buy a Sig, or CZ 9mm, but just don't see a reason. I like big bullets, and 45 Super is my minimum caliber, other then 22lr...

Yes: No scsi, worse audio, I'm waiting to see what the real limits are on this machine, when the real mac speed guys get a hold of it. Wouldn't be shocked if they pulled a G3, cheap chip trick again... gs

Clocker: Hate to say this, but I hate 9mm because I could never find one that shot as well as a Sig Sauer, BDA 45, or, a Detonics, or any, really good, 1911. Roomer has it that Sig 210's used to shoot, and the CZ 75 is supposed to be a great value, and accurate. I'd rather save for a...
