    Tablet PC

    Ah yes... I did forget to mention...I am of course looking for used. The pen thing is fine by me although touch would certainly be best. I wasn't even aware that some are pen only so that is a good thing to know! As for VB embedded stuff, I have been out of the game for awhile. This is going...

    Complications with "academic" software

    I need to buy Quickbooks pro 2007 and the stuff is all over ebay like pigeon crap in New York. I see people selling the academic version claiming it is the same as retail but priced for students. Technically as a business if I use it it is "piracy" I have two questions..... 1. Anyone think the...

    Backing up my data

    Awesome! I actually had a head slapping moment when I realized I probably have at least a few Hard drives of ten or more gig I could just put in the machine. This tool Mercutio suggests sounds even better in that I could put the hard drive in a different computer! Much more safety for the...

    Thoughts on how to do this?

    So.... I have the innards to a P2 350 Mhz and I would only need to have a new hard drive and a new case to make a working machine which could hook to my network. Would this be sufficient to run some sort of Linux? I have been out of the programming game for awhile but was always a microsoft...

    Shopping for a small CNC machine...

    As funny as it sounds...check Ebay. There is a store here which sells old Pratt & Whitney equipment usually still in working shape. Of course much of it is 3 phase wired. The "surplus" store as it was called has now started putting the good stuff on ebay effectively ruining the fun for the...

    Cats and moths or, Tannin, do I have a weird cat?

    We have two cats.....both will track insects and one of them delights in eating them. Since we keep them indoors they dont get many of them. Our theory is that the powder on moths wings is actually a sugar coating. I would say your cat sounds normal to me.
