Anybody?? Cheap Wholesale components??

People here need to lay off people. Seems everyone always wants to jump all over someone because they didn't follow the "rules". Fact is I don't even see a link to the rules posted anywhere on the page.

Neddog, I had that problem too. I had never used Ofoto before, but I had signed up once before with them, but never used their service. You need to delete the ofoto cookie on your hard drive, and sign in with a new email address. It should work then.

Windows ME for half price.

WindowsME does NOT suck. I would take it any day over Windows98. Everyone I know that runs it has had no problems with it. I think the only people that hate it are the Linux lovers because they can't duel boot easily with it. Its also much more stable than Windows98 was for me.

CPU fan question

Thanks for the reply. I replied earlier that the fan/heatsink wasn't sitting quite even and thought I would have to get a new fan. But I think I just fixed it... I didn't have the metal heatsink clamp pushed fully all the way in on one side which was causing it to raise up on the other side.

So why is Compusa or pony or whoever it is, giving away free ram? This sounds like one of those things too good to be true. Didn't realize ram was that cheap to make that they can give it away free. If this is the case, then they have been ripping us off for a long time now.
