...and there is no IAA for the 855GM chipset. Computers suck.

No, the BIOS only sees "137GB" of the drive. But there is no BIOS of any kind available to download. :(

I think Merc would be better off with a 35-40.

Yes, of course that was the first thing I checked.

Well f*ck me. I received the 160GB drive, but the notebook only sees 128 GB. One would think that LBA-48 would have been supported by the time of Pentium M, but no. :(

Mine was from Chinatown in SF, though the shop I was far far from there. Weird.

..."cockroaches. Most"...

Oh, I did not realize that. I would not want an mp3 player bouncing around all the time. Presumably the cool kids don't need to work out at their age yet.

Some aeons ago I was an electronic repair tech for a while. I remember receiving one unit that was just full of cock ost were dead, but many were still alive. It was really gross. :puke-r: The solution: spray the crap out of it with Raid, shove it in the box, return as beyond repair. :)

It seems that cube is not the best shape for a portable player. In pockets it may cause discomfort and unsightly bulges, not to mention fabric wear and possible injury.

Here I am back in the 90s. I wonder if Tony has been there.

You don't look older - maybe a little burned out.

The specs make no sense. Notebooks don't use 12.5mm drives anymore. Perhaps the drive it is used for some embedded application or maybe there is a typo.

Yikes, scary stuff. Everyone is so young.

Is he joking?

Oh man, I need PATA. :(

I have seen thinking the same. I still use a little 1.5 year old 1GB Creative Maovu nano-something that takes a single AAA cell. A 2GB version would be perfect for those 14-18 hour international flight(s). The Apple stuff is useless for my needs, and everyone seems to copy Apple.

I have DI 2, 4, 5, 6 and the useless 7 that later became a version of Ghost. I did not know there was a 5.5. DI 6 (2002) does not see my Firewire drives; that is why I got True Image 6 and later TI 8. However, on my desktop system neither sees the firewire drives, but both do on my notebook...

Greg, I'm not sure what you mean by research, but I have just about given up on other people's benchmarks and reviews. IMO it is best to buy the drives and test them in your own system. Most notebooks made in the last five years accept ATA-6 drives. Some small notebooks use 3.3V drives and...

Is it the Spinpoint M HM120JC? The Samsung 120GB is becoming very cheap here, but I wonder if it is any good compared to the similar Monumentus.

That sucks. The 2.5 inchers are too small. I could really use a bigger unit.

I have upgraded the hard drive in my notebook five times already and number six will occur when I get a 160GB drive. Easiest for me is to use the last good version of Drive Image (DI 2002, aka DI 6) to create an image of the c: partition onto the d: partition. Then I burn a DVD and boot from...

What 1.8" hard drive are they comparing it to, something from 2003?

Apparently the maximum capacity for 3.5" drives is still 500GB and 2.5" drives are 160GB. Are any larger units expected to be available in the next four months?

Not what? Am I dense or is this like a Twilight Zome episode?

I'm sure what you mean. I want to compress the two audio channels. Of course a multi-band compressor is better, but I figure everything should be computerized or automated by now. I am so out of the loops.

How do you get any sleep?

Ha! Another line of purples question. It is somewhere between blue and magenta - closer to magenta. This often causes problems because true violet is seen by the eye as the far blue-violet (short wavelengths) by blue receptors and also captured by the red receptors. It is sometimes advisable...

The @%^&* cable company has forced the dreaded digital boxes in the area now and the audio dynamic range is extreme and inconsistent. Are there any compact and inexpensive line level stereo audio compressors available? (In the 1970s we used dbx 117, 118, 119, etc. boxes for such needs.) I...

Oh, that really sucks. Sorry, Merc. :(

What about this one?

Why woudl I lie? There is no ned t o impress anyone.

I would rather run the Windows on a Mac notebook. :D

Yikes, that sounds like a good way to absorb lead. I suppose you were not concerned about the toxicity. :(

How does one melt a fishing weight in a saucepan? Is that some down-under slang for something else?

Probably 7,852 pins. :)

Is it legal to run Windows on a Mac and/or OSX on a PC?

Oh this is an old thread! FWIW, I have not seen much difference between 6 and 7, but I don't use all of the features. It turned out that Nero 7 ran fine on the ancient P3 600 notebook even burning DVDs. The version on the retail CD was problematic but the downloaded update (>100MB) was fine.

So does this mean that it finally worth building a new system sometime in Q4?

Do you expect the children to understand security risks?

I don't trust any notebooko drives. For that reason I travel with plenty of extra ones. I hope that a notebook with a 160GB drive, two external 120GB USB drives, two 100GB PSDs, and two extra 80GB USB drives will be enough to let me sleep well on a 3-week trip.

IncreduWhat?

The 160GB drives are still $340, so 120GB drives are the better value.

What is the problem with external WD drives? Are you referring to current models?

Photographing under the influence is never a good idea.

ROTFLMAO! :lol:

I'm not sure what you mean by "better focus." Almost all macro work is done in the manual focus mode. Any DSLR will have far less DOF than your P/S so I think you will have plenty of control.

Yes, the e-mail that indicates someone has replied to my post.

It is very strange that the topic reply response times are inconsistent for me. For example, one response posted a minute or two prior to another response (different thread) was received >30 minutes later, whereas the later reponse was received within seconds. Is this a forum issue or is my...
