    Wireless Connectivity Problem With Vista and Netgear

    Joe, The Linksys has been superb with its signal strength and ability to provide responsive uploads and downloads. I know there have been issues with the WRT300N according to the Linksys forum, but I've been very impressed with their product. It's the first Linksys wireless router I've owned...

    tannoy dali b & w

    The B&W and the Dali Helicon have a totally different sound. The Dali's 400's need breathing room and should be 12-18 inches from the back of the wall. B&W is a more popular speaker for sure, but I've sold Dali's on Audiogon and there has never been a problem. Their fan base is growing as they...

    Wireless Connectivity Problem With Vista and Netgear

    Kean, You are probably correct about the WGR614 router with it's inability to deal with Vista. It would have been helpful if NetGear's tech staff could have supplied the information upfront and there would have been less time and frustration on my part and I am sure other unknown users. If...

    Wireless Connectivity Problem With Vista and Netgear

    After 4-5 days of trying to resolve the issue, I gave up. NetFear was basically useless with their tech support after exchanging emails, so I purchased a Linksys WRT300N and a WUSB300N. Instant security connection through Vista without any problems. Excellent signal in my home of 4 bars and...

    2007 MLB Season

    I think Alex was nudged out by one of his teammates and the crowd prompted his curtain call. Not really a legitimate out of the dugout appearance IMO, but considering the sensationalism in todays sports arenas, it does not surprise me.

    SVS vs.HSU vs. Velodyne

    I think SVS has some cabinets made domestically and also over seas. Hsu's product is assembled and made in China if my research is correct. SVS has furniture grade cabinets in some of their product line which I think are made in Ohio. They are superb to say the least. I own a HSU product but...

    Cannon A620 and "E18 Error"

    Buzz, I purchased the G-6 from Beach Camera and I think the extended warranty was around $50-$75 for 5 years. It's been a while since I made the purchase, so the dollar amount is an approximation, but the time period is correct. The warranty was through Mack. I think the standard Canon...

    Cannon A620 and "E18 Error"

    Buzz, I've own/ed 4 Cannons. An SD400, SD550, G6 and an AE-1. The SD400, which took great photos for my usage, had the infamous E-18 Error. I attempted to fix the lens problem using some of the techniques suggested via research and never solved the issue. The camera was out of warranty...

    Best/Worst online camera retailers?

    John, I've ordered a Canon G-6 from Beach and there were zero problems. I've also used Dbuys and had the same experience. Dbuys from what I understand is also under various names. Their prices fluctuate under different names, so I'd suggest watching the item you are purchasing for a week...

    Should I use Firefox as my browser?

    Lee, Firefox is a great browser that I've used for quite some time. It's fast, easy to work with and now my default browser. Firefox allows you to customize it and create lots of different looks and also utilize diverse functions when you add/download the extensions as they are called...
