    I also would agree that you should not bother with Windows 98. I think you are in a losing battle.

    Aggravation building new computer

    All I can tell you about that graphics card is that it worked when I was using it. You probably noticed that the fan was replaced with a different one. I haven't used it in a good while though.

    Another Digital Camera Thread - Point and Shoot

    Well, in the five minutes I played with it, is seemed to be a pretty simple camera. I don't think any of the cameras are all that difficult to use though. If you put the camera on Auto mode, I'm sure she would be fine for most shots. In my opinion, the most difficult thing for people using a...

    Another Digital Camera Thread - Point and Shoot

    He got the F11 yesterday. He found it from a shady online retailer in NY. These guys actually removed the memory card from the box before shipping it. I'm sure it didn't come with a large one, but still that is pretty bad. This camera is so much nicer than my Canon S200. It has a very nice...

    Apple makes the hate list

    I don't care about using one smilie if warranted. I care about using 10-20 for no reason. I hate moving smilies. Just squeeze your rage into a bitter little ball and release it at an appropriate time. Like that day I hit that referee with a whiskey bottle.

    Another Digital Camera Thread - Point and Shoot

    Is there any reason not to get a Finepix F11 instead of the F10, other than the increased price? It is newer and has a few more features.

    Apple makes the hate list

    Can anyone remember a time when tech support was actually helpful? The only one I can think of right now is Watchguard, I was calling about their Firebox SOHO 6. I couldn't get the VPN to work and they told me that it was because I needed to update the firmware. It would have been nice if this...

    Honda Ridgeline vs Ford F-150 FX4

    From Wikipedia Measurement of firewood In the United States, firewood is sold by the cord (a unit of volume equal to 4 by 4 by 8 feet, or 128 cubic feet), or by the "face cord", which is actually a unit of area, equal to 32 square feet (this unit of area is used exclusively for describing...

    Well I placed an order. I will see if they actually ship it to me. What I was thinking about doing is keeping the card and one drive and selling my old Cheetah 36ES and the other drive that it comes with.

    NiMH Batteries

    There is no Target close to where I live. I can walk to Best Buy, I certainly cannot walk to Target. And I think all of the cost savings would have been eaten if I would have taken a cab.

    Honda Ridgeline vs Ford F-150 FX4

    What would you rather trust for reliability, a Honda or a Ford?

    Honda Ridgeline vs Ford F-150 FX4

    I would go for the Honda just because of reliability. However, that 17" of extra bed could come in quite handy. Can the Ridgeline fit a 4'x8' piece of plywood laying flat?

    NiMH Batteries

    I went the lazy-ass route and just bought everything at Best Buy at a higher price because I didn't feel like ordering something and then waiting. I got 2500mah Energizer batteries and an Energizer charger. It was like $26 for the charger and 4 batteries and then I bought 4 more batteries for...

    XBOX

    If you put a mod chip in it, you can easily use that hard drive and fill it up with movies, downloaded games, etc. I have a friend that has a modded Xbox and he likes it quite a bit. I believe this is a newer version of the chip that he has.

    No problem. I have been pretty happy with my watch over the last 10 months. I should have been a little more careful with it though. I wore it places where I shouldn't have.

    NiMH Batteries

    OK. I think I will go with the MAHA MH-C204F charger that a couple of you recommended. It is cheap and this doesn't need to be the best stuff on the market, price is important. Does anyone know if there is anything wrong with these Lenmar batteries?

    A coworker of mine bought a Nikon Coolpix 7900, he is not happy with it. Apparently it does a HORRIBLE job at auto-focusing in low-light conditions, taking tons and tons of blurry photographs. He is looking to trade it in for a different camera. Does anyone have a recommendations of cameras...

    Laptop bags

    I have a backpack that I got for free from work that has a special compartment in the back to fit the laptop. I like it better than a standard over the shoulder laptop bag because the weight is distributed over both shoulders. It doesn't look as professional though.
