Alright I'm troubleshooting for my roommate and his new Toshiba Laptop. Within less than 60 seconds of plugging in his ethernet cable here at the apt. he gets a windows shutdown/blue screen. If he tries to access the internet before then he gets the same thing. He can hook up to wireless...

thanks, thats exactly what I was looking for. Have to remember that.

I'm not sure how to quite explain this, but here it goes anyways. I'm trying to set up a function that will do a function that if "y" is enterd in a cell a dependent cell will display a number (250,000 to be exact) and if "n" is entered it will display as 0. I tried using the If function but it...

ok dumb question time. how exactly did you get that shot? I know you have to lengthen the exposure but what other settings do you use? I tried to do something like that while I was on a hike in Estes National Park in Colorado and I couldn't get any combination of settings to work right.

although it doesn't meet your requirement of 4mp, the Canon S1-IS is pretty close to what you are looking for. Its got 10x optical zoom and all of the stuff you have for A70 will work with it still(CF, rechargeable AAs, etc). Its about the same size as an A70 to.

although you said a battery pack are you okay with using rechargeable AAs? I've used my parents A70 and I got 100-150 shots easily on one set of AAs. If you are okay with AAs then look at the Canon A70 or A80. I believe those are in your price range. If you want a battery pack look at the Canon...

A trick I found that helps steady me steady my A70 is to look through the actual viewfinder and not hold it in front of you like most people do. Its amazing how much more steady you can hold the camera.

Personally I would go your local Office Depot/Office Max/Staples and see what they have. The benefit there is that you can actually see how strong they are and how easy it is to work at one. Also you might check out Home Depot/Lowes as some of them have desks. edit: just reread your post and...

interesting. The HP (inkjets) and epsons I've known have been nothing but trouble. My fmaily owned two HP inkjets and they weren't worth crap. Horrible streaking even with new cartridges, etc. My roomates Epson is spewing blank pages every time he prints. The photo prints that he had came out...

I get mine from Lowes/Home Depot. Most of them have more zip ties than you can shake a stick at. My sister bought me as a joke a huge tub of them in 5 different colors and two different sizes. You can also buy some monster zip ties there. I'm prertty sure I saw some that were like 48" long

I still have a floppy in my system for a couple of reason. 1) It was like 8 dollars when I built my computer 2) While tech oriented people use CD-Rs and Flash Drives, the majority of the consumer world doesn't, and they believe that floppies are a perfect storage media. 3) Some of the labs...

make sure you find a store that has both of them and try them out. I love my logitech keyboard but I don't like the logitech mice. They just don't seem to fit my hands right. I used my friends mx700 duo and it was pretty nice. no noticable lag at all.

not very long. I just turned my camera on and snapped off two photos back to back with the flash on. didn't have to wait for the flash to recharge. I don't have an official number but its very quick

my canon i850 prints really nice photos. my oldest sister got the newer model(i860) and its just as nice plus it has 2 different black ink tanks, one for text and one for photo I know for a while that canon was running a rebate deal where if you bought a printer and a camera you would get up...

we used something like that in a group on campus. It worked pretty well but I'm not sure how long it would last for cutting. We used it to trim off some super hard steel around a couple of bolt connections on a bridge we were building. We dulled the hell out of it in about 10 minutes. We also...

Sounds like a cool project. I don't have any examples, but I'm sure someone has some ideas. As for the actual desk however. To get it really smooth I would use either ply or MDF. If you use ply get some cabinet grade plywood(you can get birch from HD for like $35 for a 4x8x3/4 sheet) and just...

I've got a canon i-850(last years model) and I love it. On straight text its pretty ahrd to tell the difference between it and something printed from the HP Laserjet III we have. The i-860(current model) is also pretty nice b/c it runs two different black ink tanks one for text and one for...

I've got the PNY 64 meg one and I've beat the hell out of it and I've had not problem with it.

my lite-on drives are going just fine. I have the 48x burner however and that thing has never given me a problem. Also my friend who has built way more computer than I have swears by them.

ok you guys helped me out with the first problem as I have never seen this. For some reason my drive is saying that it can not complete the format. That is something I have never seen. Do wou guys have any other tricks up your sleeves?

Thanks a ton. I knew I was forgetting something. I truly feel like an idiot now.

I picked up a 160 gig Seagate HD at a compusa sale and haven't been able to install it until recently. The problem with this is that the HD isn't showing up under My computer. I've checked the BIOS and its being detected and its even being detected under the device manager. Am I just being...

had a problem like that when we ran cable to the upstairs bedrooms in my house. We bought a 4 way splitter/amplifier for like 30 bucks from lowes. You can get a straight amplifier for like 20. It helped a lot with the reception, as in we could actually have two tvs on at the same time and get...

Do you guys have any reccomendations for a wireless CF card? I got a linksys one and ended up returning it b/c I could never get it to work. In case it matters I have an HP ipaq 2215.
