NAS Security

The Ximeta boxes and now the Netgear SC101 NAS box require client software on each PC that accesses them. That's been treated like a big negative on the forums I've looked at (I don't care because I would only have 3 clients--no big deal). But I was wondering if such a requirement provided any...

Official Black Friday 2004 Thread

I'm sorry, but anyone who boycotts a company because of such things should just end himself. i'll give you a clue: unless the company is in a really heavily democrat controlled area they're probably going to be 'GOP backers' because the GOP holds a lot of powerful positions nationally. if and...

Fuji 50 pack CD-Rs for $7.99 @ Best Buy

The last Fuji I bought were made in Taiwan, labeled something like 32x and can't burn faster than 20x. The party's over with Fuji as far as I'm concerned.

Nice Deal 2250mAh AA NiMH Batteries free shipping

Mindless1: You're right about AA and AAA NiMH batteries being cheap, but Cs and Ds sure aren't. Also, since batteries age, I would like to keep an eye on how they well holding a charge so I don't end up having the batteries die at a bad time. But, OK, it's really just gear a addiction :cool:

Nice Deal 2250mAh AA NiMH Batteries free shipping

Yes, AFAIK the Maha MH-C777Plus is the cheapest one that charges any number of cells, A,AAA,C,D,9V, and report the charge in each. It appears to qualify as "Your Last Battery Charger." I'm not familiar with anything cheaper that only reports on and charges AA and AAA, but that might be...

Dell UltraSharp 2001FP 20.1" LCD - $719.25 Shipped at Dell

I got my $687 refurbed 2001FB Friday after ordering it last Sunday. I used the Nokia Monitor Test to check it out. My video connection is analog (built-in nVidia GeoForce4 MX420) limited to 1280 x 1024. No light bleeding issues that I could detect. My room wasn't pitch black, but I had...

Dell UltraSharp 2001FP 20.1" LCD - $719.25 Shipped at Dell

My bruised and bloody CC limps back into my wallet $687 lighter. :confused: Me? I'm doin' the pee-pee dance for the next couple of days, I guess! A refurb 2001FP for me, whoopee! :laugh:

Dell UltraSharp 2001FP 20.1" LCD - $719.25 Shipped at Dell

Groan! My poor CC is cowering in the corner of my wallet, afraid of what's coming next. Now the $64 question: $750 for a new one or $686 for a refurb?? I don't mind refurb at all; I've gotten them before. But I'm wondering if there's anything about this screen, like leakage or off-color...

Dell UltraSharp 2001FP 20.1" LCD - $719.25 Shipped at Dell

My resistance is crumbing. If the 2001FP can display in portrait mode, I'm toast. The specs make that almost impossible to figure out (no reference to pivoting or portrait mode except in the height specs). Can somebody who has gotten one tell me if this thing will display in vertical...

Nice Deal 2250mAh AA NiMH Batteries free shipping

I would strongly caution those who are purchasing their first battery charger to think seriously about whether they will ever charge anything other than AA or AAA batteries, because those nice, cheap chargers won't and it's a drag to have buy a second charger. I know because my nice Maha...

D-Link DI-624 802.11g Wireless Router 108Mbps $54.72 AR w/ free shipping

MaxDSP: Thanks for the link to the chart. It sure clarifies the superiority of the Atheros Super-G chip set, at least in the context of the one particular test. I just bought the DI-624 this weekend at Fry's for $39.98. It seems to work as advertised, although I haven't really checked it out...

Nice Deal 2250mAh AA NiMH Batteries free shipping

I've been very happy with the AccuPower AccuManager 20 ($54). It handles almost any kind of battery--NiMH, NiCD and RAM types in AA, AAA, C, D, and 9V sizes--without requiring optional battery packs. The versatility is important to me because I use a lot of NiMH D cells in my boom boxes (Maha...

Hot? Loaded IBM Thinkpad T40 for $1999 - SXGA+, 1.6 P-M, 80gb, 512 ram, CDRW, etc.

I bought one of these for my daughther through her college program for about the same price. It had the 80 GB HD. It's a sweet machine for sure. The nightlight for the keyboard is great, so is the keyboard itself. I think they are closing the T40s out. HOWEVER, reconsider the 80 GBHD. The...
