Suggestions on good corporate workhorse color laserjet?

Hey gang, Currently we have a HP LJ 4500N, but it's got a few problems. First, it's slow because of the way the carousel handles different toner colors. It also jams a lot, even after being repaired several times, having new maint kits, etc. So we're looking for a replacement. They print: *...

Wells Fargo customers - ReFi Mortgage w/ no closing costs ** Edit ** Still warm, but cooling off

Be careful about these types of loans. Sometimes, "no closing costs" means no costs incurred with the lender. But you *might* still be liable for other costs such as appraisals, title insurance etc. Make sure Citibank is paying for all these third part expenses before you jump on this...

eVGA step-up program: I guess they read Anand said not to buy a high-end graphics card now ;)

Sounds like they just want to keep being able to make sales during this period where many consumers may hold off a purchase because they want the new stuff.

5900SE worth dumping for Sapphire 9800PRO (OEM)?

I chose the Aeroflow because of this review, and I've been very happy with it so far. According to their data, it can cool every bit as much as the Zalman everyone is going ga-ga over. Only it's 1/2 to 2/3 the price, and it doesn't have the oversized heatsink problem. Plus it's much lighter...

How the *bleep* do I set up XP on a USB 2.0 cased hard drive?

Have you considered a simple dual boot with Win2K and XP Pro? Much less work then always having to carry around a USB drive. Use the USB drive for extra data/backups.

FAT 32 or NTFS?

They don't need to back up the entire profile. They just need to grab mission critical data files so they can do their presentation/business meeting and not have the trip be a bust. They can deal with getting their system restored later.

In the event you can't, some workarounds: 1) You can create an account on the solo PC with the same username/pw as on the domain. When you attempt to connect to a network resource, it may use pass through authentication (depending on several factors) and let you in. 2) Browse a network...

NTFS's higher stability doesn't mean a damn thing when you start having hardware failures. Being able to use a boot disk to grab your data does.
