Well, I've checked with local colleges to see if any of them are auctioning off computers that they were replacing with new ones. The answer I got was that they don't do those sort of things. I guess you'd be lucky to be able to find a school that offers that and is currently upgrading...

Caution: This is a bit of a rant and a vent, nothing that currently has anything to do with me in my location but I am always looking on the other side of the fence to see whats going on. Our current location, cable company is offering a double play with cable and internet. Phone service to be...

Well, I'm sure its safe to say we have been loyal customers to ACE Hardware. We have bought several power tools from them in the two years we have moved to the area. I'm not sure but I think ACE hardware stores are probably franchises. Anyway, we have bought a Lawn mower, a chain saw and a...

How exactly do companies decide on which candidates they wish to call in for an interview and others they leave it at just a phone interview or not even a response at all? For someone like myself thats in my early twenty's just starting out I find it very difficult to get a entry level job...

Well I did a search on the forum for any recent threads in regard to whole house humidifiers and I found one that was dated back in 2004 and it only had one response. I'm interested in if anyone knows what is a good brand to go after for a whole house humidifier that would attach to a...

Scott, Don't know what state your in but here in Pennsylvania we have three (that I am aware of) cable companies. Comcast, Service electric and RCN. Ed Randell who is the governor of Pennsylvania (just reelected) has a bill sitting on his desk to either sign or veto for Verizon to offer...

Okay guys, Turns out through some inside information that Commonwealth telephone actually pays Verizon for airtime for its subscribers. By law Verizon must allow other companies to offer phone service otherwise it would be considered a monopoly. So in this case Verizon probably encourages...

I feel like I am banging my head against the wall trying to get this pilot light to stay lit so I can start my fireplace. I have a Robert Shaw 7000MVRLC gas valve with a green knob on it that goes from Off, Pilot to on. I was told from a stove shop that in order to light the pilot light...

With that in mind what temperature should I be getting at the tap so that I can set my heater accordingly. If its 130F at the tap would it be 140F at the heater? Should I just set it at the tap at 140F and make it less complicated? I have a sink that is right above the tank on the next floor...

The pressure fluctuates. When going to use the facet sometimes the pressure will have a lot of buildup and then go back down to the normal range. I have no idea how high it builds up but I think it would build regardless of what the regulator is set at because water is pushing and not moving...

Just moved into a 2800sqft house 4 months ago that was built back in 1995. We have a 40 gallon gas water heater/storage tank. Being that we have sewers around our neighbor hood the water pressure in the home was set much lower than 50 PSI. We moved from an area being used to using water...

I think Paul D G hit the nail on the head... I was under the impression according to the EZ-Pass Terms and conditions that they charge you for the transponder to be read. So say you have a $.50 toll charge, they would also tack a $.50 surcharge equal to the toll to have your transponder read...

E-ZPass, Anyone use it? What are your experiences with the system? Just signed up for one transponder because I am going to be doing some traveling for business for about a month using the turnpike and figured it would be easier and faster to use E-ZPass than to carry change around with...

Good luck, they don't make things like they used to. The quality has severely degraded and they make cheap stuff to turn a profit, have it break so you'll go out and buy a new one or maybe they just use cheap materials. Either way, why would you buy the same brand???

After we moved we lived in a apartment around the block for about a year. We had a choice of either Verizon or RCN telephone service. We went with the triple play that RCN had and found that the VoIP service was quite descent. As Rob had said if you have another VoIP service like Vonage you...

Well I have never owned a Dyson however I worked for Best Buy in the merchandise department and every other department on the floor would use a vacuum off the shelf (usually a Dyson). I remember stocking the shelves in computers and hearing a loud noise coming from media (where all the video...

I live in an development that was originated in 1995. We purchased this home a few months ago in Center Valley, PA. Our telephone company is Commonwealth telephone company (CTCO) which was recently bought by Citizens Telephone Company for 1.16 Billion. They offer local and long distance...

Ok, I have just began my research in finding a suitable two way radio for use on a ATV trail that has no cell phone signal. I have no idea what mile range is good enough, I guess the more the better. I live in PA and we travel to the Poconos to go on the ATV trails provided by Delaware state...

The same thing is happening using roxio easy CD creator, it's as if I never burned the disc. What the heck is going on?

I currently trying to burn some files to a CD using the Data CD function in nero Ver 6.6.03. My CD burner is a Plextor PX-716A When I burn the disc and I choose the verify data on disc, a stream of Xs popup and say that the files do not match the source, any ideas? I can see that the...

Thank you so much seth, That night I backup my data and the next reboot the hardrive failed completely and is out of commission. I took out my 160gb hardrive and popped it in and reloaded windows. Only I have one small problem.... Windows only sees my drive for 127gb capacity, I have...

I have two machines, one running with a Western Digital 60gb and one with an 80gb. The 80gb is about a year or two old with the 60gb being a few years old. I am running Windows 2000 pro on both machines. 60gb machine is a P2 350MHZ. I find lately even after a clean install of windows that...

Hi, I was just curious because I have been using the bosch micro edge wiper blades on a 2001 highlander that spends most of the time out of the garage. I have to change them periodically because it starts to streak (which it claims it does't). Even when new it streaks in some spots, I guess...

Hello all, I recently just purchased a Sony SLV-D350P DVD/VCR combo player. I am using it to replace a Sony stand alone VCR player and viewing it on my 27" Sony set which is several years old. I am connecting the player using composite RCA cables. Excluding the progressive scan feature that I...

Steve, I am sorry I assumed that you already knew how to get there. Taskbar settings are not in the control panel, click start go to settings and taskbar and start menu is few under control panel it should be the bottom one. In there you will see a animation of you taskbar and start...

Hi steve Have you tried to take taskbar out of autohide and then back into auto hide to refresh itself. Also your system might be bouged down with low memory or it could be sometype of malware, but I would consider that a little far fetched for malware to control your taskbar but it could be...

Hello all, I seem to be having a problem with my PS/2 port for my keyboard. I am running windows 2K on a dell dimension xps 400, 400mhz 160ram. I am able to use both keyboard and mouse through the USB ports on the machine, it recognizes that fine. I hook up mouse to the mouse PS/2...

Hi, I currently have a Pentium 2 350 MHz machine I consider it ancient but still works fine. I am running window 2K and I am kind of a performance freak. I don't do much gaming, not much at all. I have 196 Megs of ram. When I have a program such as windows media player running with the...
