Yes. I can confirm it works for my Costo Amex. When I entering my Amex card number for verification, I recall reading something that said the card number must end with 1001. My Citi Amex card ends with something else.

Thanks for the info.

Since I am a T-Mobile customer, I like this plan. A couple of follow up questions: 1) Can I just buy a cheap feature phone off eBay and use it for the prepaid plan? after I buy a SIM card from T-Mobile? 2) On the T-Mobile prepaid plan, are calls to other T-Mobile customers still free?

I need to get my kid a cell phone for when he is out with friends or staying with my ex. It is for emergency only so the only requirement is that it makes voice calls. What is the cheapest plan out there for a feature phone? Any information is appreciated. Thanks

I don't know about measurable differences, but from personal experience, I prefer PCI-e adapter. 1) It boots up faster than USB adapter. It appears to me that Windows has to load the USB hub driver first and then the wireless driver. With PCI-e adapter, Windows loads the wireless driver a...

I bought a bunch of these around BF. They look cheap and they feel cheap compared to my other HDMI cables, even when compared to the freebie HDMI cable that came with my refurb DVD player. However, they work just fine. I have one connected from a laptop to a monitor and one connected from a...

Was in South Austin Costco this afternoon and saw a pallet full of these remotes for sale at Costco. I have never seen price this low for a Harmony One remote, not even a refurbished unit. A quick Google search shows J&R has the lowest price on a new unit for $159.88 shipped. Since I have not...

Will this work with ECS A780GM-A v1.0? ECS website http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Product/Product_Detail.aspx?DetailID=866&CategoryID=1&MenuID=20&LanID=0#fragment-CPU didn't list this CPU specifically, but it does list 925 (C3) and 925 (C2) as compatible.

I have 5 of those adapters. 3 are in constant use. The rest are spares. They mostly run great except for 2 things: 1) They do run hot. But I just popped the cover. No problem so far running with no cover. 2) The computers sometimes don't see the adapter on cold boot. I have to re-install...

Try contacting Christina Fleck directly. She always promptly replied to my inquiries. Still, I waited until mid April before receiving my November 2011 rebate. Christina M. Fleck Accounting Clerk/Office Manager Phone No. (631) 343-7232 ex.101 Fax No. (631) 343-7233...

Yup. That's the problem for me. I am pretty sure all my machines have Realtek Gigabit NIC. It is not like Realtek is a 3rd-tier company. It is a big name player. Thanks for the info. I may give that a try next time.

You are one of the lucky ones. From http://www.mediasmarthome.com/article/14041/Restoring-64-bit-PCs-from-Windows-Home-Server-What-You-Need-to-Know/ : "not everyone using a 64-bit OS will have restoration issues. Like a Windows installation disc, the Windows Home Server PC restore disc...

WHS v1 recovery CD is 32-bit. It will not recover 64-bit system. You have to either manually load 32-bit NIC driver and pray it will find your WHS, or yank the disk out and recover it via another WHS client using ClientRestoreWizard.exe. Can someone confirm that MS fixed this problem in WHS...
