Mozilla FireFox 0.9.1 Out Today - FREE

I had the same problems with 98SE, and only got it to import after unchecking all the other items. Might try that just to see if that makes a difference. Guess it's choking on one of those options. Worked without crashing on XP, even with all the items checked.

Take $25 off $50 at Sharper Image

It's apparently enough to use the coupon, because it shows the discount with just that in the order. So you don't have to find anything else to make the minimum. There's probably nothing on the site that wouldn't bring you way over the min, like the ubiquitous (at Staples, anyway) box of paper...

The Unofficial Memory Foam/Visco Elastic/NASA Pillow Thread

one wierd aspect of using a Tempurpedic mattress is that you "unlearn" your normal tossing and turning habits, and when you subsequently sleep on a regular mattress, you end up getting numb in spots, because you didn't automatically keep shifting positions during the night. The claims about...

Mailbox Security System $4.97 Radio Shack

I've got a metal mailbox that effectively shielded the signal once it was closed, so if you have problems picking up the signal, try wrapping the transmitter with some wire, and extending a short length of the wire out the mailbox. I'm now able to pick up the signal every time the box is opened.

300W inverter $15.74 @ MicroCenter

Keep in mind that the power is going to be limited going through the lighter socket, so you have to use the supplied clips to connect directly to the battery terminals if you need full power. This inverter has a fan that kicks in only when the load requires the extra cooling, so don't expect to...

300W inverter $15.74 @ MicroCenter

Here are some pictures of the waveform output from the Jazz inverter; some devices may be picky about it, but most should have no problems. Running a 60W bulb, the current draw was in the range of 5A from the 12V input- RMS voltage output was about 114VRMS. Pictures of the modified...

Hot! - Microsoft Intellimouse Replacement Offer

I had a weird intermittent operation on my Explorer mouse, and in my case, it was a factory defect without a doubt- they actually left two pins on the PCB unsoldered, and the contacts were just resting on the trace. Maybe they ran out of solder at the time.. "Free" mouse notwithstanding, I...

4 NiMH AA's and 5 Hour Charger $8.78 plus tax [Microcenter] B&M only? -- Good 'til 5/19/02 -- Possibly 'til 6/2/02

The nice thing about this charger is that it is able to charge single batteries, though the instructions don't indicate that. I put a single battery in one side and it charged it up the same as the side with the pairs. The charge rate is slower than the Maha C204F, but as a result, the...

This one doesn't charge up in an hour; they specify 3 hrs, with 8 hrs max. With the pricier units, they have a fast charge and switches to trickle, so you don't have to worry about overcharging. This one warns you not to charge more than 8 hrs to avoid damaging the battery.
