Had one built in December of 2002, it is in the kids room and has no internet connection. The wife and I prefer our Mac's, and so do the kids. I use it under a Red Hat 9 and XP Pro Dual Boot set up. Mostly used by the kids, I still do some …

After the Chopper thread, I was reminded of a game from the 80's I played in college, I just found it again. Armor Alley. I was never able to beat this game. Time to try again.

Just a note on renters insurance, I have $2,500 regular coverage built in (that is for computers and software), and I also added $15,000 of additional coverage. You should read the policy carefully, carefully, carefully. I also refuse to use any…

Quote: Originally posted by deunan I'm actually a PC user that's saved up enough for a 15" Powerbook, and luckily the 1.5Ghz ones just came out this past week. As the school year is ending, I'm wondering if I should order one right away or get…

I believe that the ability to use an external monitor while the lid is closed is relatively new. I know that my Ti PB 400 can do monitor spanning, but can't be used closed with external monitor. What PB's are you all using?

Quote: Originally posted by Jubelum Well, they do own a patent on it. They developed it. I want to know how M$FT stayed off that list of defendants. I was aware they bought the patent in 1997, and it only covers a compression algorithm. …
