    New laptop hard drive

    I am going to have some extra money and I want to upgrade my laptop. The harddrive is a measly 80 gb @ 4200 rpm. It is the bottleneck of the system.

    YAMR(Microsoft Rant)T

    I think your first mistake was buying a product that you already knew had problems. Seems silly to buy a n Intellimouse when your old one didn't work either. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

    linux noob here, easy build to learn/install please

    Try Beatrix. It comes as a 200mb live cd. But you can install it to your harddrive. It has been the first distro that installed perfectly the first time with no problems. Definately worth a glance.

    Cyberhome DVD Burner

    Thanks for all the help. I have another question though. What happened to all the NON- dual layer burners? I dont burn movies that often so it would be better for me to get a normal one. However, nobody sells them.

    Question about Ipod's plug and play functionality

    Yes. Any computer will detect it as removable storage and you can drag and drop files as you please. Also the 20gb iPods do not come with a cradle or a case, but they do ship with a usb and a firewire cable both.

    sat4fun: That would be a good response, if you had picked him as your pilot. Let's say you pick him, and he ends up being a bad pilot. It's not his fault, YOU picked him. So if he crashes and you both die, the responsibility is as much yours as it is his. And you were right, I am 13...

    Will do. I'll let you know what happens. Also, I have a MX510 that I use on my 6909 and I decided to install the Mouseware software. Well, it wont let me change the button mappings. I googled and didn't find much. Someone recommended I uninstall the Synaptics software and try that. Any thoughts?

    Which hdd mp3 player?

    Well. I have an iPod 4G and I love it. I would recommened the Mini because of its size and user friendly design. However, since you want something to be able to sync with WMP I would suggest the Carbon. It may not have a docking station, but how much do you really need one? The Zen Xtra is big...

    MP3 Help

    Why didnt you use iTunes? It automatically syncs with the iPod. And it renames and retags with ease. Be careful though, it will re-organize your collection. Which sounds like what happened to you already. BTW - It's Free.
