Same story at the BB in Westminster, CA (near the mall) ... except that the 100-packs were from Taiwan.
I picked up both a 50 and a 30 ... thanks, guys!!
I got mine yesterday, it's got two phone jacks in the back, but yes, only one of them work. There are a few options on how to split the line ... routing all those lines through the house is another matter. Apparently, you can use third party devices that distribute your phone signal through...
Yes, you have to fax them a form and include the front page of your current phone bill (no more than 30 days old), and they say it takes about 20 days to complete the transfer. I just faxed them my form, so hopefully it will go quickly. In the meantime, they assign you a "temporary" phone...
My sister has been using their service for the better part of a year. She sent me a referral, and I signed up ... so we both get a free month.
My hookup package should have arrived today, so I haven't yet had a chance to try out the service, but my sis hasn't had any complaints about it.
As...
I'm using Windows 2000 SP4, plus all the latest patches ... I haven't had any problems. Were there specific issues you were concerned about (ie: older hardware?)
I must be pretty lucky, I have personally received over $730 in rebates since the first of this year. The only one who I got stiffed on was a $30 Storix USB keychain drive rebate, mailed last April.
To be fair, though ... $50 of the total sum for this year came from Cendyne for a (Pioneer) 4X...
It should. Windows 2000 SP3 does ... though I had to set this Registry key in order to get it to recognize the entire drive:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Parameters]
"EnableBigLba"=dword:1
Not sure if it is required on Windows XP though.
Believe it or not, it's a fairly old Pinnacle Studio PCTV PCI card ... it accepts Composite, S-Video or coax (tuner) inputs. This card runs beautifully with VirtualDub. You can do raw AVI grabs, but it's far more efficient to use the Huffy compression routines (should be lossless compression)...
In my experience, the Huffy compression algorithm gives me a near 2:1 compression ratio. In other words, it's *well* worth using it.
My set-up is a Windows 2000 based PC (Athlon XP 2400+), with 512K of RAM. The system drive is an older 120gb drive, but the capture drives are two Western...
You may need to tell Windows to recognize the larger volume. Here's the registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Parameters]
"EnableBigLba"=dword:1
Let us know how it goes.
I was doing full-frame capture (720x480) NTSC video capture (29.97fps), using the Huffy compression algorithm ... judging from the 1:53:00 AVI capture (~116gb), that should come out to approximately 17mb per second.
If I hook the drive up to the standard IDE bus (ATA133), it runs just fine...
I bought this same item from NewEgg last week for $40.99. It worked fine with my 300gb Maxtor 5400rpm drive, but the USB 2.0 interface wasn't fast enough for my needs.
I really bought it for use with my Pioneer DVR-105 DVD-R/RW drive, but while it reads fine off the USB enclosure, it won't...

I didn't keep the best notes in the world, but here is what I recall...
I found some information about it in the HP discussion forums:
http://bizforums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0xe2e4cdec06f1d61190050090279cd0f9,00.html
Partway down the page, there is an entry that talks about the ATI...
I own an HP ZE4355 (Athlon-XP 2000+) and have never had any heat problems with it. The laptop in general is pretty sweet ... the biggest problem is the general lack of Windows 2000 drivers (laptop comes with Windows XP Home pre-installed). Mine is now running Win2K ... but I had to hunt down...
According to the ad page at Target.com, these two titles only show "Low Price".
$29.99 would be a great price for 'em (comparing with Amazon or Buy.com) ... but the ad itself does not specify this price.
Or am I looking at a preview copy or something? Do you have the print version of the ad...
Appropriate icon there frankqfrank. :)
I thought I had looked through the "American Flag" issue, but I couldn't find it. Perhaps someone beat me to the newsstand and tore 'em all out.
Maybe I'll find a different store's stock to sift through ... thanks for the info, though.
I went to the bookstore and looked at the current Rolling Stone magazine (big red-white-and-blue cover), but could find no Futurama poster.
Is this just for subscribers? Or will the Futurama-poster issue be hitting the newsstands shortly?
Thanks!!
Found one more:
2.4GHz 11Mbps Wireless USB Adapter ($29.99 after IR).
Just an FYI ... for all of these products:
This is a clearance item. This product is sold as is and cannot be returned. See product warranty for details. This item is only available for purchase online.
Sweet, these were listed as "Sold Out" the other day.
Some other good deals:
2.4GHz 11Mbps Wireless PCMCIA Adapter ($29.99 after IR)
2.4GHz 11Mbps Wireless Access Point ($29.99 after IR)
You can use an Access Point if you already have a router ... or you could actually hook the two routers...
I bought one of these off of E-Bay a long time ago. The first one was defective and had to go back. The replacement has worked fine for many, many years now.
Of course, since it's a hulking monstrosity, and 3.5" IDE hard drives have plummeted in price while skyrocketing in storage space ...
A friend of mine has done lots and lots of business with All Electronics. I have never dealt with them directly, but anything he got appeared to be in good working order. I have never heard a horror story from him, regarding this merchant.
