Hi guys. Mike Heidrick I need my HTF friends who can appreciate a hobbyist competeing against pros. I am in a Dewalt tools contest. I was to build a project competeing aginst the Top 17 finish carpenters Dewalt selected last September. The public then votes for their favorite project. I...

Picked up: LOTR ROTK EE The LOTR EE 3-Pack for a chistmas gift for a buddy I Robot ST TOS Season 3 to complete the madness. I look back at owning all 7 of the Next Generations and the 3 Original series and just cringe - $1000 or so worth (guve or take a hundred or so). Glad I do not...
Walmart does not get its movies out at midnight here. The other stores will not be open. Only real competitors are Target and CC - both do not do midnight sales. Maybe they will for Star Wars who knows. They did not do it for the $300 PS2. So I doubt a $50 movie will keep them open. This is...
I just think I will want to buy it at 11:00am at BEst Buy on release date just to have it. I will not wait for any shipping or risk box set abuse by the shippers.
http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdmedia Ron, buddy read the reviews. Iam telling you the "brand named" ones are not what you think. Imation is Ricoh, Verbatim is Yuden, Memorex is prodisc and ricoh, etc. Many brands are just rebadging so you have that brand trust/loyalty feeling. Ritek G04s are...
Your drives firmware often times will limit what discs will burn and wich ones will not - not the quality or speed of a disc. Also a generic 8X disc is not a great 4x disc. Dye types are different among manufactures - speed does not influence a dye type. If a DVD media is unreadable by your...
JohnRice just reminded me of another thing. If you ARE having problems - Check your drives firmware. Many times compatability issues are improved with different/latest versions of firmware. I know on the Liteon 411s dive that I own compatability was improved with many of the brands just by...
Problem is you do not know who is making the discs for the name brands until after you buy them. I like to make sure I am getting discs that are tested to work with my type of burner. Name brands often times switch manuf. during their life cycle. That is why I started reading up. I use...
Ron, Don't be fooled by outside labels or caught up in store brand names. Are you checking the DVD discs with a program like DVD Identifier to see who is really making them? What you should do is check to see what manufacturers are making each disc, wich ones work for your drive, and keep a...
Well I called Office Max but the manager was way too busy and all he could say was he did not know what he could do. So - I took out some pliers and broke off the extra plastic on the botton of the plastic ring. Then put the cut off wheel on the dremel and cut out the UPC. The UPC with the...
Grrr. The rebate requires the original UPC barcode. It is a FU##### sticker that is adhered to the bottom plastic cover and is not removable. How the FU## do they expect me to get this UPC off so I can send it in without damaging it?? About to get out the dremel and carve it out of the...
Thanks Patrick! I did not have an Office MAX ad in todays paper. I would have missed this one without your note. Picked one up when they opened at 11:00am. They were already packed when I got there and the DVD+Rs were going fast. What program did you use to identify the DVD media?
Hello Bob. Just to let you know you can call PBS and tell them you saw their %50 off Ken Burns sets in the GM magazine. This is %50 off MSRP but still a good deal. I got The West and The Civil War for $65 ea plus shipping. shipping is high ($10-$11 to IL) but very very fast and they were...
