    Firefox issue with mouse pointer in forums...

    I originally switched for tabbed browsing, though IE has that now, too. I like the privacy options and that it doesn't run ActiveX (which is less of an issue with SP2). I have a lot more control over how the browser behaves than I do with IE. I like the extensions which allow me to add...

    Dell 2005fpw $389

    Aha! I have the same issue... I may actually bother to call tomorrow and see if I can get my extra $5 now that I know why it wasn't working. Thanks! [I called and got my extra $5 off, thanks for pointing out the problem!]

    Dell 2005fpw $389

    You can get it at 389.25 with the $45 off $400 from the holiday game. I did that earlier today. Shipping was free, but I still got hit with $33 in taxes... Not a bad deal. It's a bit more than $100 less than the 2001FP, which was enough for me to justify going this route instead. I tried to get...

    Coupon dead!! Maxtor 120GB 7200rpm 8MB cache Hard drive $59.88 w/ free shipping

    I was being serious, not sarcastic. I hadn't thought of that, and it was obvious, so I thanked you for pointing out what should have been obvious.

    Coupon dead!! Maxtor 120GB 7200rpm 8MB cache Hard drive $59.88 w/ free shipping

    Wow. What a novel concept. I reordered it and got the right price, but it wouldn't let me cancel the old order online. I called and they cancelled it without problem. It's even still scheduled to deliver tomorrow. Very good, thanks for pointing out the obvious. ;)

    Coupon dead!! Maxtor 120GB 7200rpm 8MB cache Hard drive $59.88 w/ free shipping

    SimMike2: I did sent them an email complaining that having the order confirmation screen say a different price than the receipt was not cool. I'll have to wait and see how they respond.

    Coupon dead!! Maxtor 120GB 7200rpm 8MB cache Hard drive $59.88 w/ free shipping

    For me, the checkout screen said 108 after tax, but the order confirmation screen and email said 130.43. With the $60 in rebates, it's still a good deal, but that $20 still would have been nice...

    Multiple sticks of RAM causing instability

    Unfortunately, both sticks are identical, so they have the same timings.

    Multiple sticks of RAM causing instability

    I have a Soyo KT333 Dragon Ultra Platinum. Worked great with a single 512MB PC2700 in it, but not with two. To make a long story short, the RAM will pass the windows memory diagnostic just peachy with either chip in any of the 3 slots. However, any time both are in there I'm getting errors with...
