I have a computer that was recently networked to a linksys switch for dsl sharing. The network card is linksys too. However now the boot up time for my machine is significantly longer. I have heard of this problem before. What can i do about it to reduce my bootup time?

I think i read something last week where Nec is going to resurrect PB. WHat an idiotic idea.

My cat just dropped a rats face on our porch. It was just a bloody snout.

Zucchini is right. Ive seen new ibm p2 350s go for only $220 without monitor or cdrom. A p2-300 is a really old machine. Consider that for about $200 you could build a 533 celeron which would be much better (Thats without the operating system)

Some of you say 5.5 is slightly faster, others of you complain about its slow page loading. Which is it? Also not having the hourglass sounds sucky. Is that a bug? What about that problem that DaZ is referring to. Is that really a bug that is going to be fixed or is that just an inherent defect...

Does anyone recommend IE 5.5 yet. Is it stable and is there any difference in how and how fast it renders pages compared to 5?

"Don't be ignorant. I challenge you to build a system that is noticeably more stable than an Athlon machine." I have bx and 810 machines and they are rock solid, none of them have ever crashed in the three years Ive had some of them. I havent ever had any of the stability or...

Im sure that companies like dell get retail quality chips, but the oem chips that you can get from your local pc shop tend to be the junkiest chips to come off intels lines, so I've heard from other posts.

Intel is better because of their stability and compatibility. Whether athlon is a little faster is meaningless compared to stability and compatibility

I have never not had a problem when mixing memory of different types or using more than one stick for that matter. Your computer will boot up fine and seem to work but eventually will crash. Most people mistakenly think its windows being unstable. If i were you I would just toss my old memory...

whats up with the new generation intellieye mice? do they look just like the current ones? anyone know when theyll be available?

Ive heard that Intel makes their best quality chips the retail boxed. With Katmai chips it made sense to buy retail for the warranty, higher quality fan and ease of installation. But with the socketed chips I think the heatsink/fan isnt attached to the chip anyway so none of that matters. Just...

I once had a chemistry professor who would say the f word in lecture occasionally. It was a big lecture course and it would just come out of his mouth, almost like he didnt mean to say it. The first few times the whole lecture was so shocked that nobody really reacted, until our TA mentioned it...

Why is it that some documents that look fine in acrobat 3 look awful in acrobat 4. In acrobat 4 the text looks really rough and unantialiased and the letters do not lie on a straight line. Do i need some adobe fonts or what?
