    emergency - usb flash drive unresponsive

    If your're plugging into a hub, try going straight to a port off the mobo. Otherwise try a different computer. If the senior exec didnt click the "safely remove hardware" before he yanked it out the comp, he may have damaged the drive or corrupted the data.

    Need car stereo advice

    i recommend against crutchfield. they overcharge way too much. just buy it cheap and then use some of the difference you saved to get a professional install. unless you do installs regularly i HIGHLY recommend getting a professional install as it is not always as easy as many people make it...

    Need car stereo advice

    if you're gonna buy a cd/mp3 receiver here's the place to go: Pioneer DEH-P7400MP at IkeSound.Com look under pioneer, then go find the 7400mp under cd receivers, normally you can get one of these for about 300 bucks, this place has got 'em for 230. high quality, incredibly hot price.
