    Scratched screen

    My old Toshiba 40H80 has a scratched screen... I took the clear front piece off years ago and the actual screen is scratched... I'm looking for replacement parts, and I'm not sure if I'm looking to order a fresnel piece or lenticular? Thanks!

    Digital Camera Suggestions - $500 Budget

    The S400 is a great camera... The S410 being exactly the same except for that extra button. I think you made the right move by not going with the S500... too much noise in that 5MP sensor. I took my old G2 and S400 with me on vacation and wound up using the S400 almost exclusively because of...

    Best place to honeymoon in the Caribbean?

    Hi John, Yes, we stayed at the "Fishbone" in Fishbay. Maybe a 10-15 (wild) ride from the Westin. What an island! My girlfriend was freaked at night from all the bugs, noises, etc. She's a city girl, though -- I loved it. We're already looking at where we're going to stay next time. We...

    Best place to honeymoon in the Caribbean?

    John, Glad to hear you enjoyed your trip! They say once you go to St. John, you'll definitely come back. Thanks for the great pics and informative email. This winter has been a rough one, and being in Northern NJ I've experienced pretty much the same weather you have in Connecticut...

    Best place to honeymoon in the Caribbean?

    John, If you're back from your St. John trip, how was it? I'm going there in 3 days with my girlfriend. Can't wait! I have plenty of info I found on web, but I was wondering if you could recommend the quiet private beaches the locals treasure. Seems that everyone is directed to Trunk bay...

    how bad is an unpaid parking ticket?

    Actually... I've experienced an unpaid parking ticket to the fullest over the past few weeks. Long story kinda short... My father got a ticket in his Jeep. $15 parking ticket during the end of summer at the Jersey shore. It flew off his windshield and forgot about it. Fast forward to two...

    Help with Novell Netware ASAP!

    Ahhh, Netware 3.12... I miss those days. At my old job we had a Netware 3.12 box that was running in a closet for literally YEARS before they noticed it... that is when the place closed down and everything moved out. I haven't worked with Netware in over 2 years, but reading through this...

    A better copy/backup solution?

    I use Robocopy.exe at work all the time. It should be available online... if you have access to an NT/2000 resource kit, it's in there as well. Allows you to carry permissions and all sorts of other things.

    Home workout machines

    I agree with the free-weights... I have a bench a bunch of dumbells. That's all you really need. You can do squats, lunges, various chest exercises, back exercises, etc etc with a simple bench and dumbells. I've been working out for about 3-4 months and my gains are amazing. Both in strength and...

    Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG vs. BMW M5

    First off, for me, the Mercedes is an instant loser since you can't get it in stick... Also, I doubt the Mercedes handles as well as the BMW -- BMW's -- essentially the entire line, have an almost perfect 50/50 weight distribution.

    Nokia Phone in Canada

    I have a Nokia 8890 and I couldn't be happier with it. Excellent Phone. I actually had it over a year ago for several months then got one of the new "cool" color Samsung's and didn't like it. So I sold the Samsung and bought ANOTHER 8890. This phone has been out for about 3 years and it's...

    Do any over-the-counter teeth whiteners really work?

    Mark, Yes the $120 kit included enough solution to whiten my teeth -- only $30 or so for more solution. They send you some silly-putty like substance to make a mold of your teeth (and I messed up the first time but they give you extra knowing that many people do) -- it dries QUICK so be...

    Do any over-the-counter teeth whiteners really work?

    Go to: http://www.dentist.net/whiteningtrays.asp These are the same professional trays that are fitted to your teeth that dentists use. I used these over the summer and my teeth got practically "movie-star white" -- I get compliments all the time and they're still white 6 months later...

    Yeah, that link doesn't work. I spoke to the parts supplier and it's only $92.00 plus $50 for shipping. Not too bad at all... The only bad news it's on backorder from Toshiba - 10-15 business days. Hopefully I get it before xmas.

    Toshiba 40H80 - Scratched screen!!

    Hey guys, Anyone know how much it costs for the Toshiba 40H80 screen? I took the protective covering off over a year ago and had a little accident. My center channel fell off the TV and made a nice scratch from top to bottom. I'm afraid at what this is going to cost... Thanks

    Help! Advice on moving a *heavy* 32" Sony Wega!

    I remember when I got my 32" WEGA for my downstairs. A friend and I lugged it into the house with little effort and rested it on the floor until I bought the matching stand. I had the stand for a week and all my friends weren't around and I couldn't wait to set it up. One night after a few...
