    SOLD OUT -- TomTom One LE --$119

    Not exactly. It's actually a TomTom One 2nd Edition, but with the full Navcore 7 software (the 3rd edition has a lite version of this software without some of the features). It also has some other aspects that the third edition model doesn't, like an SD slot.

    What Kind of Scam is This?

    I guess my other question is how do I report this to eBay (so his account gets suspended and I don't have to worry about any fallout like getting negative feedback)? I looked through their security center, but this kind of thing didn't even seem to come up.

    What Kind of Scam is This?

    Ahh, I see. So this guy would do something where I get an "official looking" e-mail confirming that some funds had been sent to me, and I'm supposed to fall for it (I guess this would not involve me taking the time to login to my PayPal account to verify if the funds were there) and send the...

    What Kind of Scam is This?

    Yeah, I already pretty much can tell it's a scam.... my question is more about how this particular scam works - that is, if the seller were to actually pay via PayPal, how would the scam be pulled off? I was thinking maybe they would dispute the PayPal transaction or retract it after they...

    What Kind of Scam is This?

    Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me figure something out here. I listed my laptop for sale on eBay, and unfortunately didn't put any restrictions on it (i.e. ship worldwide, no buyer restrictions). Someone used "Buy It Now", and their address said they were in Florida (although their...

    your opinion on 17" laptops

    Are the Toshiba P105's any better as far as portability? I see they are listed at only 7.1 pounds, which at least seems lighter than some of these 8, 9 and 10 pound 17 inchers.

    Buy Laptop

    I can't speak about the current SZ's, but I have been using a Sony Vaio S360 for the past year and really like it. I just really like the form factor and performance. The SZ's as I understand it are pretty close, except the keyboard is pretty different. One thing I really like in the SZs is...

    My computer is freaking out...

    Thanks. The rest of my PC is fortunately working just fine now; I'm going to go ahead and reformat the drive, and I'm just going to not use it any more (don't want to risk any problems with it again). Thanks for all your help everyone!

    My computer is freaking out...

    OK, well, I did finally manage to finish up with this problem. I took my third IDE hard drive and switched it to IDE2 (from IDE3), and my computer still bluescreened with the PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA error. Finally, I took the drive out altogether and stuck it in external firewire/usb...

    YA Borders/ Waldenbooks 30% off regular price of one book

    AStar, for what it's worth, the "comics" that are excluded would normally just be the literal comics themselves. Trade paperbacks, etc. and other comic collections don't fall into that category normally.

    VAIO's suck!

    Hrmm, I guess I'm sort of the exception; I have owned a Sony Vaio s360 notebook since April and I've been really pleased with it............... I love the performance of it, battery life, screen quality, the performance of the Mobility Radeon 9700, etc.

    My computer is freaking out...

    Thanks apinomous. I did try out swapping each individual stick of memory (running each stick once by itself) and it didn't seem to relate to the problem. Basically I'm still in a holding pattern until I get a chance to take that third hard drive out, but I am pretty convinced that it or the...

    My computer is freaking out...

    The specific drivers are: Promise 378 S-ATA Drivers 1.0.0.16 I'm sorry I don't have an update on the other issues. I'm hoping tonight to finally get a chance to swap out the HD's and see what difference it makes trying to boot from my old OS install with the HD on IDE3 removed, and with a...

    G5 or MX 10000?

    I got a G5 and generally like it so far; however, I basically upgraded from an MX518, and to be honest, I can't see a huge difference. But the G5 does seem to have nice extras I haven't played around with (like the ability to use the various weights to customize the feel and balance of the...
