FYI
Consumer Reports in the March 2004 issue tested laptops (and desktops). They also have technical support ratings and reliability ratings. The tech support and reliability ratings are based on a 4 year response from thousands of users.
HP had a tech support rating of below average...
It is my understanding that used motor oil contains carcinogens. Is it worth $15 to risk unnecessary exposure? And it is a pain to do it yourself anyway. $15 well spent if you ask me.
Not to burst anyones bubble, but Velodyne like most sub makers, includes the "surround" the rubber piece that holds the cone to the voice coil in its measurements. In its new top of the line Velodyne DD series, the 10 inch has an 8 inch cone, the 12" has a 9.7 inch cone, the 15 inch has a...
The fine print says "only original coupons will be accepted"
How would I know if the box from Amazon has the original coupon on the box or not?
Thanks

I listened to these at a Hi-Fi show a while back. They did sound wonderful. The look of the chrome amp with the tubes glowing inside was also impressive. These headphones made the longest lasting impression on me of anything I saw or heard at the show. Then again, it could be post traumatic...
In the past 3-4 years, GE and their RCA clones have had the worst reliability of all TVs. Spend a little more and you won't have to worry about reliability problems.
How hot it is depends on how much time you spend on sites that won't allow you to post from Walmart/AOL/Compuserve. Before I got 6 months free AOL when bought my Dell 4400 when it came to $475 after rebate, (you remember that deal!!) I had cable broadband. Due to corporate issues with Comcast...
I've been with VoiceStream for about 3 years. They have a $39 plan with 500 Anytime minutes, free weekends, Long Distance, no roaming. You have probably seen Jamie Lee Curtis doing their ads. For customers who have been with them for a while, they give 600 Anytime minutes instead of 500 for...
Some of the items are no longer at the prices shown. The Caller ID and Phone are now $14.99 (but still have the $10 rebate). Also the rebate for these 2 items is from Jellybean not OfficeMax. Rebates from little companies are a PIA.
The P910 does NOT have the dual inputs of the P900.
It is a little hard to compare CRT monitors selling today with those that sold 7 months ago. Prices have continued to fall on CRTs.
BTW A customer service rep at Dell told me that Dell in getting flooded with returns from people who...

Thanks for reminding me that component input is not enough to benefit from Progressive Scan.
mboy is absolutely right that you must have an HD ready or a (rare) EDTV to benefit from Progressive Scan.
So I would revise my opinion. The cheap players seem to be trouble prone, but...
There are bunches of these receivers on ebay. If you check the completed items many have gone for $275. Besides, Buy.com charges an additional $37.70 for delivery!
JVC does not make very good receivers. At this price there are better choices. Technics 1050, Harman Kardon, etc.
JVC does not thoroughly beta test new products. Many people have gotten stuck.
This is no price mistake. The things just don't sell.
Keep away.

The test site can be found in the thread "Western Digital 120 gig special edition? for $188 shipped."
The URL for the test is http://www4.tomshardware.com/storage/01q4/011120/index.html
$200 120 gig that is faster than 37 gig $350 scsi seems like something quite special to me...
The 120 Gig 7200 RPM Western Digital with 8 Meg memory from Dell @ $200 is supposed to be faster in most tests than the 15,000 RPM Cheetah. But for those that have SCSI set up this is probably a good deal. One of the threads on the 8 meg Western has a link to tests that included the 15,000...
Don't be confused about the meaning of "Dolby Digital and DTS Outputs". This DVD player does not decode DD or DTS soundtracks. It just pases those signals through. It is a fairly low end model. No body paid $300 for one of these. New, they went for $120-$150. With the price of DVD players...
I just got off the phone with Dell Customer Support. The rep was quite sure that you need only purchase the tower to get the rebate. The form itself lends support to this idea as it only references the model 4400 and says nothing about a monitor. The customer service rep was quite sure on...
How do you know that this bezel, from Toshiba, will be a perfect fit for the Dell 4400. The hight is probably a given, but with the curved front of the 4400 can you be sure the Toshiba bezel will fit exactly right?
Thanks
Got my "kit" today. Video tape, cute packaging and best of all you can choose from the $25 Disney or a $35 Supercertificate. Disney had little if anything I was interested in. The certificate is better all the way around. If they want me to drive it, that is fine. I like driving...
Customer service at my local BB did not want to price match saying the BB price (after rebate) of $25 was less than the $30 at CompUsa. With a little persistance they matched.
Overall, my experience with price matching is that it is a pita, i.e., pain in the ass. Most hot deals relying on a...
I didn't expect to get the Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer Optical mouse, but that is what mine came with. I have enough optical mice. Anyone want this mouse for $25 + shipping?
To anyone still waiting for their system to arrive.
I found that the Dell on-line tracking system did not work. Kept saying "On the way to shipper"
I called and they have an automated system to give you your tracking number. The number(s) one for the speakers and a second # for the tower...
Gateway for some silly reason sends a 10 inch TV outcable, a small microphone, and a little bit of documentation in a separate box. The only possible reason I can think of that they would do this is because not every computer they build has a TV out port on the video card. Is such a cable...
The biggest difference between the Gateway and the Dell is not the hardware. I believe the biggest difference is in the terms of the warranty. With Gateway, if a tech cannot solve a problem over the phone, you must bring the machine to the nearest Gateway Country Store. I didn't check to...
If you had the choice between the Gateway and the Dell 8200 at the same price which would you choose and why? I ask this because several people have gone to a lot of trouble to get Dell to price match the Gateway.
Thanks

Apparently you were the only person able to get Dell to drop their price within $275 of the Gateway, let alone match it. Dell is saying they pricematch Gateway selectively. I was told by several different reps that $918 is below their cost with the P4 2.0 Northwind.
Apparently...
I was curious to see the documentation of the components in my 700x. I called tech support and they do not document this (except by their meaningless part numbers). What you have to do is go to Esupport on the GW website. There will be a window called My System Information. You enter your...

Of course you are correct that Gateway has that "we can change prices and specs" clause. Never the less, Credit Card companies are in the business of keeping their card holders satisfied. As far as kbrock is concerned, he has nothing to lose by putting it in dispute.
I just...
