    Mirage Omnisat Speakers Clearance $79.95 ea Shipped at Vanns.com

    - Because the room and/or the furniture isn't laid out in a conventional way for HT, maybe because it isn't set up primarily for HT. So you can't get the sweet spot where you want it. - Because some of your listening areas would be outside the sweet spot with more directional speakers. - You...

    Long dead brought back to life for whining. Sub-$500 notebooks o' the week 4/9-4/15

    Found an old unread PM that linked back here .... You know, for all the supposed courtesy some here imagine there is, there's more namecalling, profanity, and general foolishness in this thread than in a year's worth of threads I've read at FW. If you have to resort to calling someone names...

    Solid Website Hosting Deal, HostPC

    Seems to me that if a host can't deal with someone as reasonable as dchakrab they need to do some rethinking. The "customer is always wrong" attitude of HostPC is a very interesting business model. I'm sure it helps keep things under control in a difficult business where lots of customers...

    Apples & oranges. A laptop takes up a lot less space, uses less juice, and is moveable (show off pictures, play a DVD, take it along on a weekend ...). Lots of things that make a laptop useable to an average user have nothing to do with the CPU specs.

    Long dead brought back to life for whining. Sub-$500 notebooks o' the week 4/9-4/15

    You're doing no one any favors suggesting a B120 at that price. Almost everyone thinks that 14.1" screen on this chassis is a problem. And since when is paying the same price someone paid 6 months ago (November) a good deal? The suggested alternative is to look for a deal on a B130 with a...

    Long dead brought back to life for whining. Sub-$500 notebooks o' the week 4/9-4/15

    B120 - not sure it's hot at any price, but definitely not at that price. There have been lots of B130 deals at that price, and you wouldn't have to spend long at the outlet to do a lot better. outlet - then sort by price -------------------------------------------------------------------...

    Quite hot - Dell dual core notebook with 7200rpm harddrive $699

    Start by uninstalling all the junk and making sure nothing extra loads on startup, and that's close enough for me not to make it worth a reformat. But geez, could they put more garbage on these things? Also worth partitioning the drive right away, too.

    don't forget to add in whatever you can get from recycling the bottles, the foil around them, and the corks, too. plus you can probably ship something in the packaging it arrives in, saving even more money.

    Netgear Wireless Router Sale - MR814 $9

    That is the right rebate, but sorry I wasn't paying attention there - you have to take the Amazon $39.99 option (on the right) and add that to your cart. Though you do get free shipping that way. So it's $10 AR shipped. Amazon seems to be linking to the TigerDirect option by default...

    Hot! Verizon offers "naked" DSL service (unannounced)

    But unless you DL 24/7, the 1400+ kbps from Verizon DSL is plenty, and saves a few bucks. Especially since they're raising the UL speed to something useful. So for a lot of users, it is competitive. Also, Verizon has very good news servers.
