Interesting article for Hitachi 7K60 owners:

I have an Thinkpad T40 and a 7K60 drive. Ran IBM's program and it says I have the newest firmware.
I just did some preliminary testing with the ND-2500A:
I burned a Movie DVD from an Nero image file stored in the hard drive. This was a very quick and dirty test.
Imation 2x DVD-R (RITEKG03) burned at 2x
Imation 4x DVD+R (RICOHJPN) burned at 6x
Sony 4x DVD+R (RICOHJPN) burned at 6x
My...
Rich123, this is a shot of the PC board of the ND-2500A from the Japanese review site:
PC Board Pic
The chipset reads:
NEC
D63630GM
0342KP038
Take a look at your ND-1300A and see if there are any similarities. If the chipset is the same there might be some hope of upgrading the 1300A to 8x.
I'm going to try burning the 4X DVD-Rs at 8x tomorrow and give you guys a short review. Anybody know where to get Taiyo Yuden (TY) or Mitsubishi Chemical (MCC) 4x DVD-Rs in NYC?
I have plenty of RICOHJPN 4X Imation DVD+Rs and I know those burn at 8x.
Received my NEC ND-2500A today from GameVE, Black bezel, comes with volume control knob and headphone jack. It looks exactly the same like a ND-1300A. Will do some testing over the weekend

Warning about Tracfone:
They shipped me a Nokia 5125 which is not compatible in the NYC area. I called them up 3 times, and they said they will send me an email the next day with a shipping label to return the equipment, and overnight me a compatible kit.
One week has passed and still no email...

Got this router, its a piece of junk. Does not work with Time Warner Road Runner (at least). Its going back to Outpost.
The router got an IP address from RR, and does not route correctly. Turned off UPnp and tried all kinds of settings.
Stick with Netgear, Linksys and the other big names.
Firstly, there is no harm to file this claim. ConEd won't come to your house with wire snippers and cut your electricity if you filed this report. I'm not filing for the full $150, I'm only claiming what I had in the fridge that got spoiled. If they don't pay up, it's not the end of the world...
Ordered Saturday, received the unit today. On the box, it says "Refurbished - Slight Cosmetic Defect." It looks absolutely brand new, no scratches, dents or even dust particles. There is a small scratch 5mm long on the backside of the remote control, I rubbed it off with alcohol. Basically I can...
I ordered one from CDW, they are willing to pricematch the IBM.com price of $1682. ***NOT THE SHAREHOLDER PRICE***, which is a pretty good deal since IBM charges tax, and CDW doesn't for NY.
If you've bought the PlanetSide game, it comes with a coupon for HyperX RAM at Kingston.com.

For people who received the 15% and 10% coupons, you can forward a 5% stackable to your "colleagues". Although its only 5% it does help out a bit. I think there's a limit of 5 coupons that can be forwarded.
I have one of these at home and at work, and I'm a big fan of NEC/Mitsubishi Monitors.
The text is really crisp with the DVI, and colors are well defined and rich.
I watch streaming CNBC & Bloomberg at work with this thing everyday and I notice no ghosting at all.
The only downside is, you...
The Dell sales reps would not care if the business name is under your name. Remember these people are paid commission for every sale they make. I just ordered one for my boss under his own name.
The emailed 15% coupon works (don't flood me with requests for the coupon, its my boss' coupon)
Good deal for $630 AC/AR + Tax!
But thanks to Mike Bloomberg :| this deal is not so hot in NYC due to the new 8.625% sales tax ($62.06!)
I just bought one at Radioshack to replace my dead Apex AD-1200. This thing ROCKS. Very solidly built and very compact. I think its even better than the Norcent NP300 (I have that one too.) It is better because the Cyberhome DVD can be placed on real standby, whereas the Norcent can not. The...
