    Hot!!! Free Land in Kansas!

    I appraise real estate in KC and the surrounding areas, and this is a really hot deal. Land prices are going up fast just about everywhere. Kansas really is a nice place to live too, but there is not much to do. I am pretty sure broadband is available in most towns as long as it is in the...

    Slow file viewing over network in XP

    Hey Earthling, thanks for the help, but nothing has worked yet. This sucks, I need to access those pictures for my job and it is really slowing me down. I upgrade computers and my performance gets worse. Does XP have a problem networking with 98? The win98 machines fly around the network no...

    Slow file viewing over network in XP

    I am trying to view the contents of a file with about 4 gigs of pictures over a network. My computer has XP on it and the computer with the pictures on it is a win98 system. It takes several minutes to load the file to view it. All of the other computers on the network can view the file in an...

    Tablet pc's

    Just upgraded my Compaq tablet to 512 meg of ram, still pretty slow, but I look at it as the trade off for battery life. I am also about to have Compaq send me my third stylus, the other two have different problems that make them semi unusable. I am having some problems with stability and...

    Nextel: $10 phone, free incoming minutes and 5000 FF miles, but is Nextel any good?

    By far the best service I have ever used. I have the i90, which works perfectly. The problem with Nextel is that their phones are a little larger than others, but they are much tougher. I have dropped fewer calls in the +/- 6 months I have owned the phone than I did in a day with Sprint, and...

    Fuji Finepix 2300 2.1MP camera $119 @ Compgeeks

    I have this camera and use it everyday for work for the past seven months. No problems to speak of. Haven't run into any problems with the lack of a lens cover. The pictures are pretty good quality. The lack of an optical zoom kind of sucks, but what do you expect at this price. The digital...
