    Is there a USB on / off switch?

    Thanks for the suggestions. I had actually tried Device Manager as I had stated originally and I also tried that remove hardware icon. The problem I am having is that the computer does not recognize that it is even there. Perhaps it is only USB in the sense that it gets power but not as a...

    Is there a USB on / off switch?

    Unplugging it is an option except that it would be kind of inconvenient to have to dig through the wires to connect it in the back. Currently I have it in front of my computer near the 2 USB ports there so I can plug it in if necessary. IsLNdbOi, Your idea looks pretty good. It just seems...

    Is there a USB on / off switch?

    I got a USB Beverage Chiller (link) as a present. It is pretty cool but has one major flaw: no on / off switch. Now at work I don't care if it is on all the time because I don't pay the bills but at home I don't want this sucking energy 24/7. Ideally it would have an on / off switch. My...

    It's probably going to be 25% off of the regular price so it will only be an additonal 5% off.

    It was as low as $255 at one point so it isn't THAT hot. It will still take forever to receive it.

    Staples 19th Anniversary Sale : May 15 - May 21

    Something to keep in mind is that the 12% off coupon is applied before the rebate. For example, the Linksys Wireless B router was $42.81 after using the 12% off coupon and the rebate is $40 so the router only costs $2.81. Also, if you have an American Express Business Card, like I do, check...

    Staples 19th Anniversary Sale : May 15 - May 21

    Thanks for the post... On page 4 you listed six Linksys wireless components and I was really interested in getting one, but on the Staples site, the flyer has six similar NetGear ones instead. They don't have any Linksys networking items at all. Any idea if they will be selling the Linksys...

    10% off coupon for Home Depot

    I actually just got the Home Depot coupon today and it is bogus. It is a 10% off when you apply for and use a Home Depot Credit Card. Also, about Home Depot using Lowe's coupons, it works 100% of the time. If the person says that they don't accept it, have them talk to their manager. They...

    SUOrangeman, Is there some sort of ranking or list of which dual dvi cards are better than others? I can't tell which one I would want to have or which are better across manufacturers. Thanks.

    Wired vs. Wireless B. vs. Wireless G

    Thank you both for your replies. I see that you both say that Wireless B is perfect for broadband and your reasoning makes perfect sense. The one point that still bothers me though is this: Is there an explanation then for why it appears that my wireless laptop is slower than my desktop when...

    Wired vs. Wireless B. vs. Wireless G

    Can someone please tell me what I am missing, because what I see in reality doesn't seem to coincide with what I calculate: I am moving into a condo and I am considering making the desktops wireless rather than running cables on the carpet or through the walls. DSL download speeds are...

    25% off at Borders on 3/26-28 for educators

    Generally all you need to prove that you are an educator is a school ID or a pay stub. However, I've even been able to use another store's teacher discount card as proof of being an educator (ie, Staples Teachers Rewards which requires no ID) while saying that I left my ID at home.

    ATI 64MB AIW 9000 Pro@Circuit City $149.99 AR (plus tax)

    I decided to go with separate ATI video and TV cards solely because you only get one VGA out port on the AIW where you get a digital and VGA port on a regular ATI video card.
