I really appreciate the help. That site is really cool. Had no idea it even existed. My work PC is an i5-4440 @ 3.10 ghz and it seems plenty fast to me. But I don't use it for 3D Printing tasks. I'll look at those Ryzen processors. I assumed CPU's still used sockets! haha. So CPU's don't...

Yeah, I'm old school. Started building PC's back in the 90's with 133mhz pentiums and Windows '95. However, about 10 years ago my love for PC's took a nose dive and I lost all interest. I upgraded my PC one last time in 2008!!! I just looked at my newegg order history and see that I...

Thanks. That's what I was hoping to hear. Appreciate it!

No I never had any service at any time there. I used cable internet. It is an older home built in the 50s. It has 2 phone outlets in the entire home and neither of them currently have a dial tone.

When I bought my house 6 years ago I never activated the landline. I just used cell phone service instead. Now I'm selling it and set to close next week. The buyer will be using a landline. I borrowed a phone and plugged it but I do not hear a dialtone. Is this normal? I was kind of...

Do it! I loved it as a kid and I'm sure my kids will as well.

The Tomy Maze Screwball scramble is the correct toy I was searching for. Paratus was the first to guess it correctly.

Haha, yeah I'm pumped. I did what any self respecting dad would do. I bought it along with several other 80's era toys and gadgets that I'd also like to play with again. I also picked up a bunch of neodymium spheres. I know my daughter will love them and I've always wanted to play with them...

Damn! You guys are the berries. Thats almost exactly as I remembered it although I think mine was in a wooden box. Either way that should work. Thanks fellas. OH NO! Expected to arrive after Christmas!! WTF Good news is it appears I can order it at toerh locations like Toy R Us or fatbrain.

I've googled the crap out of this toy and can't find it anything that looks remotely like it. When I was growing up in the 80's I got a toy for xmas and I'll describe it as follows: The case was a wooden box. Maybe 14"x14"x5" and inside the box was a steel ball that you had to transport...

I ended up also buyign the Logitech 305. Works great and even works well on my couch with no mousepad. Last week Target had them on sale for $9.90 which was a steal. This wweel Bestbuy has then for $11.99 which is also kick-a$$.

I'm in the market for a small wireless mouse for my notebook. Kinda thiking maybe the Logitech 350 or the Microsoft 3500. Anyone have a preferance?

Sounds like the B940 is reasonably close in performance to the i3 and is based on the newest sandybridge. Since the HP is the lightest of the 3 and has the 14" monitor rather than the bulkier 15.6" I may just get it. It's also the cheapest. I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't as slow as...

Looking to get a lowcost laptop ~$450 or less. I haven't really kept up with mobile cpu tech and I'm confused. Looking at Bestbuys site there seem to be dozens of CPU configs. I notice a lot of lower cost laptop use an intel Pentium B940 cpu. Apparently this is a new CPU. Is this the...

well if I do that and set it to "Only Me" then my status updates won't be shown to my friends. I don't so much mind that because I am choosing myself to broadcast that info. I intend for that to be broadcasted publicaly. What I'd prefer is when I click on "like" I'd like to have the...
