My kids attend a very small startup school (<10 kids). We just got free cable internet access today. The machines we are running are old (PI/PII) running Win98SE. I'm looking for a cheap way to share the connection with about 6 computers (two of which are in a different room and running Cat5...

I'm trying to get some insight on my next purchase. I presently use a Handspring Visor Deluxe with the Visorphone module on Voicestream/Tmobile. I'm pleased overall with the phone, pda, and service; however, I'd like color and a more compact unit. I've found two decent deals now but can't...

I should add that I don't wan't to spend $800 either. Whew!

I'm looking for a cellphone/pda combo and was hoping someone could offer some recommendations. I'm currently using the Handspring Visor Deluxe with Phone Module. While it works great, it's a bit bulky. I don't use the phone portion that much and am on the cheapest T-Mobile service plan. My...

My sister-in-law just started a jewelry business. She handcrafts each piece. She asked me to help her set up her business' site. I'm a relative novice in webpage development. What I need help with is in setting up a basic page that will be easy for her to update on her own once it is set up...

Thanks osage. I'll try this out.

I have three computers connected on a home network. One runs Win98SE, one runs Win2k, and the other runs WinXP. They are all connected to the internet via a Netgear RP114 router without any problems. The Win98SE machine sees the Win2k machine but not the WinXP machine. When trying to access...

Thanks. I'm going shopping today and will keep the HP you suggested in mind.

I'm in the market for a laser printer for home/home office use. Of course, I want to spend as little as possible. My ideal unit would be at least 10 ppm, have a respectable amount of RAM, have networking in place off-the-shelf, and have at least 1200 X 1200 dpi resolution. Suggestions? Thanks!!

Don't do it.

This is an excellent post and a hot deal (so to speak) to boot. Thanks! -mb

adamone11 I got the P4V266-C from newegg. In my box was the board, USB 1.1 bracket, and cables. There were no mb screws with the board that I got. PowerDVD? Why would the board ship with it? I did get PowerDVD though with the Lite-On 16X burner that I got from newegg. I'd save the $80...

I just downloaded the Max Payne Demo (130+ MB - thank goodness for cable modems!). It is pretty cool! I'll likely head out next week and pick up the full version. -mb

I asked for some ideas before I went to bed and you folks delivered!! Thanks for the suggestions. I wish I were able to play first person games (Deus Ex came with my soundcard). I remember way, way back when the original Wolfenstein was released (maybe 10 years ago). I got physically sick...

I just built my first system (P4 1.6a/512MB PC2100 RAM) and am looking for a good game to try my system out with. I do not want a first person type game as they make me nauseous. I'm looking more for a third person 3D type game. I don't play games usually and my system is not really built for...
