    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...

    Wireless Connectivity Problem With Vista and Netgear

    Wondering if someone can help with a wireless connection problem. Details: Dell Inspiron 531 AMD Chip Vista Premium 32 Bit Netgear WGR614 Version 1 with the latest software for that router. Netgear WG311v3 802.11g Wireless PCI Adapter with the latest driver and software from Netgear...

    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...

    Deadwood -Ep5 "Trial of Jack McCall"

    I thought the same thing. However, during the previews for next week, I thought I saw some other cowboys doing the same thing. It was late, (watching west coast HBO feed in EST) so I might be mistaken. I'll have to watch it again. Really like this Deadwood series. At first I was not...

    The Apprentice Ongoing Thread

    What about the 250K that Sam dangled in front of Mr. T.?? Was that for real or just a joke on his part? I assumed, that Sam was dead serious. If I recall, Sam commented the greenbacks were legal and tender.

    The Apprentice Ongoing Thread

    Congratulations to Bill.... Personally, I would prefer to work for someone like Kwame, but Bill is a very talented guy, yet a bit edgy for me. I've experienced both types of personalities in the business world and prefer Kwame's style. Omarosa is a complete buffon and her lack of...

    Sopranos Anyone????

    Watched Crimson Tide the other evening and Mr. Tony had a pistol in his hand. Can't wait for this Sunday!!! I'll have to watch the previous season during this week and get into the swing of things. Previews on HBO look quite intense.

    NY sportscaster Mike Francesa...what happened??

    Michael, You right on target about Mike F. I find him an egotistical, arrogant man who treats his audience with distain and very little patience at times. When he smiles or laughs, it almost does not seem appropriate. It's rather interesting to watch his facial expressions, or lack of...

    What kind of bird is this?

    It looks like a hawk to me, but I am no authority on birds of prey. It does look there may be some form of tag on his foot, but wouldn't this be placed on the leg, rather then the claw/talon area??

    The HTF Pet thread

    Thanks Tony. I can sincerely write these critters are like family to me. It is quite amazing how distinctive personalities are in animals. With the exception of Oliver, 2 of the pets are from the animal shelter. Actually, Max the Great came from one of Hershey's litters. However, no...

    Brian, Is everything the same internally as the older model 7/2100 without the cosmetic changes?? Looks nice with the cosmetic changes. A different, but pleasing look for sure. Also, congratulations on your new baby!!! Thanks, Charles

    Earthquake or SVS

    Parker, I own the sub you are considering, the MKIV12. I don't want to sound harsh to other owners of this sub who may read this particular post, but please buy the SVS. Does the Earthquake, quake? Yeah, a bit, but it's more like a quiver then a quake. My room is 1500 CF and it does an ok...

    How to fix a broken heart?

    Tom, First of all, I am sorry that you had this experience. Breakups such as you describe are never an easy life experience to recover from when someone you love takes your life and shatters it the way she did. However, the good news is she was honest and open with you even though that may...
