    TiVo 40hr $19.99 AR CompUSA starting 1/29

    I had Tivo with Directv, but switched to Comcast (internet and VOIP) which uses different DVR setup. Directv's Tivo kicks the heck out of Comcasts DVR. I would go back to Directv in a sec, if I could get hi speed modem without a phone line. Usually when companies start giving away product...

    $100 OFF a new Beretta Semi-Automatic Shotgun

    Nothing is a better deterent to a robbery in middle of the night than the sound of a shotgun from being racked. People keep throwing out the wild west shootout scenarios. Doesn't happen. Violent crimes go down in states with right to carry laws. I believe I read one of the biggest...

    Warranty on a laptop

    How many problems do laptops run into? It seems like damage insurance makes more sense. I usually go by theory of you use it more as a new toy in first few months- that should get all the bugs out. Does that work for laptops?

    DVD replacement for laptop

    I am planning on picking up laptop from Dell outlet. Would prefer to have one with DVD for travelling. How easy/expensive is it to swap out a CDRW and go to DVD? CDRW not important, I have a desktop that can handle that. Is it better to just find one with a DVD already?

    Purchase advice

    Dell Inspiron 1000 is cheaper, but has Celeron. 700m is Pentium M, but $200-300 more on outlet site. Most people recommended the 1000. Any other thoughts about Celeron v. Pentium DVD would be nice for travelling. the 1000 doesnt have dvd drive- is it possible to add one?

    Thank you all for your information. I guess it will easier to stick w/ Windows. Im guessing that networking the laptop and accessing the Desktop computer and files is not an option.

    started looking at HP dv1000, and priced some Dells out. Seems like the Inspiron 1000 line have the Celeron 2.2Ghz. Does it make sense to spend another $4-500, to get better/faster/durable laptop, or will I not need to, for basic applications. Or on other end- can I get by with lowest...

    My computer just decided to rape itself.

    My computer has been doing the same thing for a couple of weeks now. I t started with it not detecting the secondary IDE slave drive, once in a while. Now I get the double beep and no IDE drives found, once every 5th or 6th startup. Tried updating the BIOS, (abit KT7 board) no luck. Tried...

    Upgrade Thinkpad?

    I have a Thinkpad i series (Type 2600). The battery only gives me about an hour of life. I don't think it is worth spending the money on a new battery unless I can improve the MoBo or harddrive. Should I get a new laptop, or is there any way to upgrade it. It is a Pentium II, with a 2 Gig...
