    TiVo 40hr $19.99 AR CompUSA starting 1/29

    I had Tivo with Directv, but switched to Comcast (internet and VOIP) which uses different DVR setup. Directv's Tivo kicks the heck out of Comcasts DVR. I would go back to Directv in a sec, if I could get hi speed modem without a phone line. Usually when companies start giving away product...

    $100 OFF a new Beretta Semi-Automatic Shotgun

    Nothing is a better deterent to a robbery in middle of the night than the sound of a shotgun from being racked. People keep throwing out the wild west shootout scenarios. Doesn't happen. Violent crimes go down in states with right to carry laws. I believe I read one of the biggest...

    Warranty on a laptop

    How many problems do laptops run into? It seems like damage insurance makes more sense. I usually go by theory of you use it more as a new toy in first few months- that should get all the bugs out. Does that work for laptops?

    DVD replacement for laptop

    I am planning on picking up laptop from Dell outlet. Would prefer to have one with DVD for travelling. How easy/expensive is it to swap out a CDRW and go to DVD? CDRW not important, I have a desktop that can handle that. Is it better to just find one with a DVD already?

    Purchase advice

    Dell Inspiron 1000 is cheaper, but has Celeron. 700m is Pentium M, but $200-300 more on outlet site. Most people recommended the 1000. Any other thoughts about Celeron v. Pentium DVD would be nice for travelling. the 1000 doesnt have dvd drive- is it possible to add one?

    Purchase advice

    Thank you all for your information. I guess it will easier to stick w/ Windows. Im guessing that networking the laptop and accessing the Desktop computer and files is not an option.
