<< Well...OD.com said that I had to backorder one because my local store was out so I wasn't going to bother. I had to goto my local store for something else today (tax software) and I decieded to look...low and behold there were 4 drives sitting there. So I got one... >> I'm confused. Did...

Just scored 100 here in Orange county. No hassles at all. Great deal for those who hate rebates.

Add me to the "IBM sucks" club. I've had both my 45 gig 75GXPs go bad on me. One of my replacement 60GXPs just went bad. The whole time, my 3 year old Maxtor has been running flawlessly in the same rig. I truly believe heat is an issue with these drives. I started experiencing a huge spike in...

<< How fast are these cdrs rated at 16x? or 24x? >> The website shows 16x, so I assume thats what they will have at the store. May be a warm deal for speed freaks with their 32x burners.

<< now I get both for the cost of Roadrunner alone. >> How did you get this? I currently am a RR subscriber. Will I be able to get Earthlink dialup for free?

<< Are you saying 18 out of 20 cd's you burned were coasters?? If so don't blame the media, check something else... >> Actually, I had the same experience. 7 out of 8 were BAD. I blame the media because when I swapped it with another brand, my project would burn fine. Stick in TDK, bad. I...

Thanks Ziegfred. Really appreciate it. I *thought* I was month to month, but when I called, they claimed I was under contract for two more months. BS! When I changed plans last year, the rep assured me I was not committing to a contract. How's this for a crappy plan - 200/180 for 29.99. Only...

Ziegfred, that is the kind of plan I'm looking for. Would appreciate details on how you negotiated your plan. What plan were you on? Did you have to complain about service, etc, or did you simply ask for a better plan. Thanks

DO NOT buy these GC CDRs at Frys. They are absolute crap. Perhaps the quality has improved since I bought my blanks 2 years ago, but the CDRs i burned with them quickly became discolored and unreadable. Also, some CDRs simply can't be burned past their rating. Example, I tried burning audio on...

Thanks Bubba! There they are. Appreciate it.

Just got my case today. Great case. One question though. Is the case supposed to come with the 5.25 Drive Tension clips?? Mine did not come with any. Does not seem right. Would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Baseball 2k1 is not worth it. Go out and buy 2k2. Much better.

Supercyrix, serial numbers are unique by definition. They are used to ID your product! You will not see a serial number posted. Look on your CDRW.

Sammyboy, I know time matters. I switched them over twice quickly to eliminate time as a variable. So, the difference in time was a mere 2-3 seconds. Time wasn't a factor here. I played around with a couple other answers and seemed to get a penalty of -3 for other questions. Go figure.

evadman, I think the answer to that question is true. For what it's worth, changing the answer from true to false dropped by test score by 12!? Perhaps using the back button screws up the calculation. Who knows. For all you people who can't get enough IQ tests, goto brain.com. They have a bunch...
