    Lexar 1GB USB Jumpdrive $49.98 w/free ship

    I have the one gig here in front of me right now. It's not THAT wide. 1 and 3/16ths inches at it's widest by about 2.5 inches long. I've never had a problem fitting it anywhere, and I've had it in a LOT of different PCs. Get a little dongle for it if it's a problem with your PC........the...

    VONAGE for 24.99 Unlimited Plan

    I use Packet 8, been happy with the service so far...........rates are cheaper. Anyhow, here is what I did to wire my house. 1. Make sure the phone line outside is unhooked from your main service box. They carry voltage and voltage will fry your VoIP box. 2. Plug the phone line from...

    Update: Price now $9.xx (still not bad)! 6 Pack of compact fluorescent bulbs at Home Depot B&M for $6.00 + tax

    I bought this brand when the 75 watt light output ones were on sale for 99 cents each. They light up quick, almost like an incandescent bulb. They start off dim, but not as dim as most CFL lights out there and come to peak brightness rather quickly. The color is warmer. Most CFL bulbs I've...

    Free SIRIUS receiver w/car dock with one year agreement *Howard Stern Rally Special*

    Packet 8 subscribers

    This is HOT if you've been waiting for them forever, like I have. To make this a true HOT deal, they are waiving the activation fee before Dec 2004. There is a $4.95 monthly service charge. Broadvoice is a little cheaper, but they don't have numbers for my area(s) and they don't port...

    Networking question. Please help

    I could offer step by step help, but my best advice would be to tell you to take one of the adpaters back and get a router with wireless..........for many reasons.
