thanks... i've donned the name, "Old Man River" and now will only respond to this... or an acceptable acronym

please do not post product keys... bad news for the legal dept. if someone stops by for a view [ie one of microsoft's henchmen] i picked up my version of office 2k3 from my college for $10. if ur near a college c if they have a sweet legit deal from the bookstore.

http://computer.howstuffworks.com/usb.htm try that link out... if you need more technical get back to me... ie if you need an example of how data is passed and how the motherboard interprets data between the original usb "appendage"

I spend most of time on Dell's site, i recommend slickdeals.net to find a good deal on a Dell computer. For the requirements your looking for you can probably pick a sweet computer up from best buy, comp usa, etc. Like the earlier poster, they would have the best offer. If your not doing heavy coding or graphics work, the only thing you'll get with a Dell is a larger payment. [sorry for the two consecutive posts]

Dell provides a nice comparison chart for their laptops. What are you trying to do with the laptop... ie Gaming, Work Related, etc?

Couldn't agree more with KickinAudio's and Alaxan's comments!!

EXCITEBIKE!!

testes testes 1, 2, 3?? is that old or what?

you said "fixed old box" sorry, i guess i'm flirting with the removal of my mod status... next topic any ASP book will offer an insight into Internet Information Services http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/commu...is/default.mspx Just make sure your system is patched an updated before starting to use IIS (Nimda and Code Red, etc.) I have a box, but it needs some installation done on it and i'm without my win2k, xp cds, i'll swing it by your neck of the woods this weekend

Horrible story, i was scammed before welcome to the club. At least you went through paypal and not wire (send money directly from the bank), western union, or money order. I tried to buy two motorcycles over the Internet 13k and 10k, well when u think you just lost 10k large to a scam u feel like sh** for a long time and then u do it again ... u feel eBay has hundreds of scammers online at all time and i believe they are begining to take advantage of weak security and more specific user groups. i wish u the best of luck, the ip address isn't going to be able to help too much. If u find the guy, i will gladly supply my a$$ kickin' supplies (fists, steel toe boot, and baseball bat) in person. Just to take out the anger i still harbor from my experience. moral of this story: Don't use wire, western union, or money order for large sums of cash and be weary of the internets "great" deals.

my apple IIc runs circles around my win2k box. I gotta say the monochrome 12 inch screen on the IIc is quite impressive. Also, security on the apple is much better considering the IIc does not have a true hard drive to store applications and runs on 5 1/4 floppies. The NSA would have trouble extracting any information. My processor speed runs somewhere in the 10 - 20 kilohertz. If your really think ur windows based pc can beat my IIc, your probably right... but its 100% custom with its missing 8 and 2 keys... WHAT!! I'll post some picks soon flaunting my apple.

i second the boobies comment!
