Motorola T720 - Verizon I used to have a Kyocera 3035 (total hunk of crap). The thing died on me, VZ wanted like $300 for a new POS phone (I was still under contract). I bought the T720 off eBay NIB for like $180.

The Blues Brothers

They were making costly mistakes 15 years ago when I used to work in that business (at a real shop), and I am quite certain they are still doing the same. Realistically, most dealer service departments offer quick-change lube service now. If you don't want to do it yourself, take it there...

Cheney is a liability. Bush should dump him in favor of his newly rediscovered pal John McCain if he expects to have any chance of being re-elected.

I agree with the sentiment that Moore is Limbaugh for his side. I've already been fed enough half-truths to last a lifetime.

I'm trying to find a solution to a problem. My brother has a Gateway Destination system. What this is is a digital theatre PC that Gateway used to sell. It is basically a regular PC that has a 36" monitor (that looks like a TV) attached to it. It was a lowly Pentium II with an 8MB ATI video...

I downloaded and installed it as well. Thanks! It's perfect.

This goes back a few years, but anyhow my former roomate was a Mac user. He had to go through four hard drives to find one that worked in his PowerPC 604+ Mac. He tried Seagate, WD, and IBM before finding the ONLY drive that would work in the system was a Quantum. The other drives would be...

I just completed installation of my new IBM/Hitachi 7K60. Simply put, it rocks. My bootup time seems to be like 1/5 of the time it was before. It's like a a whole different system. Price is now below $300, which makes it even better.

A friend found one for me. I don't know how I couldn't find it. USB 2.0 PCMCIA w/dongle

I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my IBM/Hitachi 7K60 drive. It should be here Tuesday/Wednesday. I'm going to put it in a Coolmax USB 2.0/IEEE1394 drive enclosure, Ghost my existing 30GB drive onto it, and then pop it in my laptop and use the old drive in the enclosure as secondary...

I've got a Gateway Solo 450X laptop. I've got a D-Link PCMCIA wireless card installed. I need to add USB 2.0 connectivity, but all of the USB 2.0 PCMCIA cards I have seen obstruct the other PCMCIA slot. There is no way I can have both my wireless card and a USB 2.0 card installed at the same...

Outsourcing = having another company make stuff for you, put your name on it, and sell it as your own I'll cut and paste the press release. Gateway Outlines New Fulfillment Model For Its Rapidly Growing Product Line Previously Discussed Outsourcing Review Leads to Plan Providing...

I haven't seen this really being reported anywhere yet, but I have it from a good source that Gateway is going to be outsourcing all their PC hardware and will no longer custom build. They are closing their plant in Hampton, VA in 30 days I am told. They are already outsourcing notebook...

I was also intrigued by the E7K60 and was wondering about the differences. I haven't found anyone who stocks it.
