    Agh.... hosting woes.... help!

    My problem is that when my users are sent to a page that provides a link to my PDF ebook, they are unable to use "Save Target As..." in order to save the file to their hard drive. It only pops up a prompt to save "get.asp." Left-clicking works, but the service that I use for customers to...

    What would you do to my system with $200?

    Right now my PC is LOUD due mostly to my ti4200, so I'm going to sell it for $35-40 and buy either a 9800 pro with a silencer or a 6600gt. The 6600 gt will need a silencer as well (or so I gather) but this makes the price difference nearly $100. I was planning on buying some PQI 3200 RAM to...

    BF1942 or Joint Ops?

    I've been playing demos of both games, and so far I like JO better than BF1942. JO seems to run a little better on my computer (BF1942 EA intro went reeeeeaaallllyyy slow, but after it was done the game ran fine--I just disabled the intro). BF1942 just seems clunkier. It's also nearly impossible...
