    Toshiba laptop media buttons

    You'd think so, but I haven't a clue which one (aside from the few I know for certain are wrong). I'm not really keen on installing and uninstalling apps that don't do what I want as you could imagine. :)

    DVD Burner

    My dad is into making videos and such (he tapes a lot of weddings in the summer). He recnetly got a new PC with a burner, but it doesn't seem to burn disks that work in home units, very irritating. He also has about a million VHS tapes that should be put on DVD (family videos etc). His camcorder...

    RAM upgrade for Toshiba M60-BK3 Centrino (PSM60C-BK300E)

    Hmm, this one got lost in the shuffle. I for one haven't upgraded anything yet, things got too busy and then just plain forgot. Karlz, very nice setup. I think you'll find the 5400 drive to be a bit more tolerable, the 4200 is death. No real problems with the unit, just every once in a while it...

    Toshiba laptop media buttons

    On my Toshiba laptop there are media buttons (play/pause, stop etc) but they don't do anything. None of the Toshiba apps make mention of them. How do I activate them and can they be used to control apps like Winamp without having to select it every time? tia

    RAM upgrade for Toshiba M60-BK3 Centrino (PSM60C-BK300E)

    I was unaware of that feature, and I don't see any mention of it in the mouse/touchpad applet. The corner sensing util was extremely irritating and sensitive, I disabled it as soon as I figured out what it was. Defective? Doubtful, it's a good touchpad, I think that the util is just crap. Ditch...

    Good laptop mouse

    I have "normal"? hands I guess. Would prefer something that's more compact I suppose, since it will be travelled with some. Going back East next weekend and I like to travel light, especially flying. What is the difference between the V400 and the V500? I can get the 500 for $30 instant rebate...

    Toshiba Satellite M60-BK3 & General Q's

    That's always an option, if you're willing to wait of course. :) Is there much of a performance gain going from 1G to 2G?

    "no P2P" at colleges

    On-campus is probably cheaper, though some schools will offer you Internet if you're off-campus. Not sure if the same restrictions apply or if they're just helping to subsidize the price, I have never explored it past that. Not sure where the OP is, but anything "liveable" for students would...

    "Best" keyboard?

    I love the Natural keyboard. I wish I had it here with me, not only did my wrists/arms/fingers thank me, my typing skills dramatically improved. MS is putting out a new ergonomic model (don't know if you saw the news clip?) that looks very nice, probably pricey though. But I just bought a...

    Hibernation...

    My 2K machine enjoys a regular reboot (every couple of days), it seems to get sluggish otherwise. Though it's on an older machine, so I don't know if that has any effect? My laptop (XP) doesn't get left on long enough for me to tell (might get left on during the weekend).

    "no P2P" at colleges

    Well, you've certainly managed to degrade this down to the typical teenybopper "conversation", hope you feel pretty cool by now. Btw, don't call me "son" or "kid", all you're doing is making yourself look like a condescending jerk with nothing to say. Fortunately such attNext time you want to...

    Hibernation...

    Agreed, but does it remove the need for the occasional reboot that Windows unfortunately seems to require?

    Other things maybe. ;)
