    Differences Between Dells

    What's the difference between Dell's Home and Small Business stores? It appears to me that sometimes prices are more appealing on the small business side. Are there specific requirements for ordering through their small business arm? Do you have to be incorporated, have a business address, etc?

    TiVo...How cool is this?

    Comcast decided to shake up my lineup again (when will I get satellite?), dropping five channels and changing the channel numbers for the remaining stations. This posed a dilemma for my TiVo service, especially for my season passes. I e-mailed TiVo and they asked me to send a a copy of Comcast's...

    Need Advice on a New Laptop

    Can anyone provide any recommendations for a new laptop? I'm not going to be travelling with it a ton, so I'm not terribly concerned with the size/weight. I'm probably going to be using XP Pro on it. It will almost exclusively be using a wireless connection at home and at the office. I'm looking...

    Any Model Aircraft Collectors?

    HTiB's & Speaker Wire

    I just got my brother a Yamaha YHT-100 for his birthday. I'll be going over to his place to set it up next weekend. I've read that most of these HTiB's use fairly cheap speaker wire. Should I bring some heavier gauge wire and if so, how heavy?

    Running speaker wires

    Is it okay to run speaker wires under a heavily trafficked area rug? Will it affect audio quality and is it safe?

    HTiB Recommendations?

    Looking to get a basic home theater in a box system for my brother in the $300 range (give or take $50.) He already has a Panasonic DVD player, so I don't need that included in the system. He doesn't have a large living room (probably 12'X18') so it doesn't have to be booming. If there's a...

    Severance or Unemployment?

    A friend of mine was laid off a week ago. At the time she was let go, she was offered a severance equal to six weeks pay. If she accepted it, she had to sign a form saying she wouldn't file for unemployment. She wasn't allowed to think about it. She had to decide before she left the HR...
