    Where can I find a dual scroll wheel mouse?

    A bit on the expensive side, but it has a thumb side scroll wheel that should be programmable with CAD programs. http://www.amazon.com/Cyborg-Gaming-.../dp/B003CP0BHM

    eBay problem -- what would you do?

    That's bullshit...if you return it because of a mistake on your end--like you bought the wrong model number--than it is fair to pay the return shipping, but it is bullshit if the seller lied to get stuck with the shipping charges.

    eBay problem -- what would you do?

    Long story short--found a great deal on a U2711; it was sold as like new, no physical blemishes, no stuck pixels. I got it today and the top is scratched/ marred, and there is a stuck red pixel 4 inches from the bottom, three inches from the right. The seller said to send it back, and he...

    Looking for a Workhorse for heavy app's use

    c'mon man, it's a little ridiculous all the stuff you will be doing at once. and to help, why do you need xp? with all those apps open at once, 8 gigs of ram would seem appropriate and vista 64 would probably be the best OS unless you need XP for some other reason.

    Question about a Vista Sale I made

    if you didn't list it as the academic version in your listing, I would think that you are at fault since it is not "retail" (i.e. something you would buy in a retail store).
