    Lifelong Windows user contemplates (gasp!) a Macintosh! Advice please!

    It is hard to compare the two systems. To give you an idea, I will list the model line and potential users. Mac Mini G4: new computer user, switcher to Mac, person looking for a cheap Mac to replace their old Mac. This person might already own a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. eMac G4: new...

    HELP, Which MP3 Player?

    Realistically, for $100 you will not get much. The iPod shuffle is probably one of the better deals, since you get 512 for $100. However, if you are concerned with the battery dying, keep in mind that you will probably buy another MP3 player or lose it before the battery is an issue. I have seen...

    Las Vegas uncut question....

    Season 3 USA still has the Elvis Song for broadcasts, but the "international" title song for the DVDs, with the exception of the pilot episode.

    Will my iMac be expensive to repair?

    It is not going to be a virus or spyware as Mac OS is fairly safe from them as the spy programs and viruses are normally written for Windows. It is probably the hard drive. The replacement hard drive should be about $100, and the labor might be as much as $150.

    Las Vegas Season 2 Episodes?

    Yes, there are a few extra scenes, but I cannot list them off the top of my head right now. The DVD has bloopers from seasons 1 and 2, some of which have massive use of profanity when cast members mess up their lines.

    Target's lack of widescreen DVD's

    My point that I was trying to make is that after the initial shipment of both WS and P&S, additional shipments seem to be only P&S. This is sad because not only do they sometimes have good prices on movies in the weekly ad, none of which can be bought in WS, but because one must rush to the...

    Nip/Tuck Season 3

    This show was very interesting, I am glad that I check out the schedule online to know that it was 90 minutes so that I set the VCR right. I hope that they explain the Carver next week...

    LOST season 2 discussion thread......

    I will have to watch the opener episode another few times to get all of the details. It has been a very long day and I know that I missed some major element of the story line.

    Las Vegas Season 3 thread

    I saw a promo photo in either TV Guide or People that showed the entire cast, but without the Nessa character. It was a slight spoiler, but not obvious to the casual viewer. I did not want to post this until the episode aired in case I was wrong about this.

    Am I the only one who can NEVER find what they're looking for at Circuit City!?

    I agree that is can take as long as ten minutes to find a DVD. I have gone as long as twenty minutes before somebody asks me if I need help. Catalog titles are always priced at about the same price as MSRP. If you buy movies as often as I do, even differences in the neighhood of $2.00 can add up...

    Where to demo projectors?

    Many places that have projectors do not display them at all or properly for several reasons. 1. Potential theft of projectors (can be solved with use of locks or other theft deterents) 2. Cost to properly display product A. loss of valuable floor space that can be used to display more...

    Target's lack of widescreen DVD's

    Most all of the dvds which they carry after initial release always are P&S, which is sad, and it stopped me from buying movies there.

    Quandary: Dell 2405fpw vs. Samsung 213T

    You may find it hard to get the 213T as many vendors have discontinued it from their product lines. It is a great monitor, but is starting to get hard to find. Many people are waiting for the new version of the 21" that Samsung is likely to release in the next few weeks.

    Need help!!!! I deleted large video files (> 7GB) and cannot recover them.

    You might have caused unrepairable damage by overwriting all or part of the files on the original hard drive. The professionals never attempt data recovery on the original hard drive, but instead make a bit by bit copy of the hard drive onto another hard drive. A bit by bit copy will copy every...

    Las Vegas S2 - Production Problems?

    I am going to watch the entire set as Best Buy gives me 30 days to return or exchange. I might as well see everything to double check to see if there are any other problems, and how often the problems are repeated.

    From Warner Brothers: Thundercats Season One Disc Replacement Notice

    While they will probably not recall the faulty set, any copies in distribution supply chains might get recalled. Periodically, distributors will request the return of DVD movies and the stores will get full credit. In many cases, the distributors will simply resell those copies to other...

    I Will Never Buy Another Dvd Set From Universal

    I went through two copies of Knight Rider S1 until I got one that was good, and had the same problems with A-Team, and a few other DVDs. My computer DVD drives seem to be more tolerant with the DVDs, and the problem discs often are no longer problematic when played in a DVD drive. I have found...

    Las Vegas S2 - Production Problems?

    To determine if a common factor exists, where did everybody buy them at? I bought mine at Best Buy since they had the lowest price.

    Las Vegas S2 - Production Problems?

    I can confirm this problem at about 10:30-11:00 into The 19th episode. It was so bad that I could not stop the disc, go to menu, or switch discs out. I had to actually unplug the dvd player to get it to reset... The second time around, it would not load up the video and froze at :19 into the...
