    Why theoretically? Didn't make it to class much?

    PC sound system

    Two names for the same thing. AC3 is what DD was originally called, but Dolby Digital is a lot more user friendly name to remember.

    New Deathstars announced

    I thought the 75GXP already had command queuing? What am I missing here? Is Hitachi in control of IBM's business yet? I though they IBM was transferring 80% of the business over to Hitachi shortly after the sale went through last year.

    That's the craziest thing I have heard all day, even more crazy than the Freedom Ship. Haha

    Anyone hear about this?...

    I found some pictures on various websites, but they were all small and you couldn't real see any detail at all. I think they should call it the security ship.

    One thing they need to work on is making the "Start Menu" customizable. Ya, I know there is a way to do it. But, it should be as easy as in Windows. Would it really be that hard to have an option to add shorcuts and delete unused ones?

    What's a good photo printer?

    I feel the same way as you Mark. That's why I bought a LaserJet 5. This thing will probably outlast me. Since I don't print all that much, it will easily work until computers no longer have parallel ports...Then I will put a JetDirect card in it and still be able to use it.

    Here is what I had to type to get the system to boot into Windows. root (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 boot Why the hell should I have to type all that stuff? I thought Grub was supposed to be user friendly. So how do I go about removing Grub and getting the Win2k MBR back?

    Can someone please tell me how to use Grub, because when I rebooted I get the Grub command line. I have no idea what I am supposed to do with this. If I type boot it tells me there is no kernel loaded. If I type kernel, it tells me I need to give it some args. I really just want to boot back...

    Ya know, I don't think I would mind using this OS if it were as fast as Windows 2K. And if my sound card were supported (it might be, it doesn't work though.) Why does it take 10 seconds to launch solitaire? This is something that can be launched in less than a second in Windows. Just...

    That was a really easy install. This is being posted from Mozilla in Lycoris. Mozilla seems to run pretty well, but it's not the snappiest OS I have used by a long shot.

    Does the installer have a way to resize a partition (FAT32)? Or should I do it with Partition Magic before attempting to install?

    I found it through a google search. It's like they don't want people to know that it is actually a free OS. I'm downloading it now, if I understand correctly you really only need the first CD.

    Something like that... ADODB.Field error '80020009' Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record. /store/store-order.asp, line 0 Maybe their online store is just broken.

    It took me about 40 minutes to get the order to go through. Slowest site on the planet I think. I ordered 3 of them, I will probably end up selling 2 of them on eBay if the order actually goes through and einsteinpc doesn't just take my money.

    What's a good photo printer?

    You can get Toners on eBay for way cheaper than that. I got toner for my LaserJet 5 for less than $30 last week. It's not a HP branded, but it seems to work just fine.

    New breakthrough 60GXP fix revealed

    I can't believe anyone would believe that you can actually fix a hard drive by hitting it on something. Well, I guess if the bearings have locked up you might be able to jar them. Now, putting the drive in the freezer that's a good trick.

    Why do inkjet heads clog?

    Sorry this is a little OT, but how do color laser printers compare to the newest inkjets? How about thermal printers? They are supposed to be much cheaper to run than inkjets I thought.

    Any way to get QEMM 9.0 to recognize over 256 MB of RAM?

    JTR, instead of upgrading why don't you just create a test partition and install Win2k on it to see how you like it. It really is night and day between win98 and 2k. For me 2k runs better, has better memory management, multitasks better, and never crashes. If you want to stay legal you could...

    I think it is referred to gold, because the master CD for duplication is a gold CD. The original recordable CDs were gold and cost a bunch back in the day. I wonder if it is available for download yet??? Does anyone know if it will require a CD key for online play or will it be similar to UT...

    A new high in stupidity(true story)

    What I want to know is who steals a bumper? I can see stealing a car stereo, the hub caps, maybe the battery. But, the bumper? One of my neighbors had their battery stolen a couple of years ago in Chicago. That would be quite a shock when you pop the hood and the battery is just gone...

    Got the card today, for some reason the driver disk didn't come with the Win2k drivers on it. So I had to download the drivers. The card was picked up fine by windows but the optical out would not work without the Guillemot drivers. The optical out does quite good, I don't know if I can tell...

    Guillemot Maxi Sound Fortissimo

    I'm not saying that the lockups came from using coax out. I am saying that they were coming from the live in general. And I won't be using Coax anymore, I will be using optical SPDIF. I'll let you know if there is any hissing when I have it hooked up through SPDIF. But, there better not be...

    Guillemot Maxi Sound Fortissimo

    It's good to know that it has good drivers and works with Via chipsets. I was using a coax out on my SB Live! and it was working but it kept locking up so I pulled the Live! and hasn't locked up since. I only paid $31 shipped for this card, so it's not too big of investment...

    I just ordered this card because I want a card that has an optical out on it. Does anyone know if this card has problems with Via chipsets? I had to pull my SB Live! because my machine kept crashing when playing sounds. I probably should ask these types of questions before I go and order...
