    Viruses affecting Macs

    Don, Macs are not to much different than Windows PCs when it comes to hacking or stealing files from you computer. If sharing is turned on your Mac your files will be visible to Macs and Windows computers. Turn sharing off and make sure you have a password set to prevent connecting just in...

    Anyone Own a HHR?

    Yup! Still going strong. Like I said about the car, They don't make'em like they used too. Even in PS3s'

    Anyone Own a HHR?

    I install tow hitches here at the business and do 8-10 a month. I did an HHR a few weeks ago and was shocked (compared to other cars and trucks I have done) at how thin the frame was when drilling to install the hitch. Like a hot knife in butter, really. If it were mine I might worry about how...

    Windows Vista Experience

    Diogen, Now I'm an Apple lover? A few posts before me people were talking about getting a Mac. I was giving them my experience so far with one. My point is you do not have to be rude. I'm sorry you did not like the Apple you had one time. It must have really left a sore spot with you. The...

    Windows Vista Experience

    All good points Ocnier. If Microsoft had made the first PC before Apple did it might be a different world. If Jobs would kick some of his ways it sure would help Apple out. I see Apple computers are now at Best Buy and Circuit City. Just as Dell is now at Wally World. The market has changed so...

    Windows Vista Experience

    Diogen, As you see in my second post I use Both a PC and a Mac. On my Mac I have XP media center. Your quote seems a bit harsh to tell some that recommended a PC for some people and a Mac for other folks; some of whom already show interest in one. I could justify that had I said " Buy a Mac...

    Windows Vista Experience

    When I posted that the Mac seemed at the time to run vista better than a PC I was hoping it would not start a PC vs Mac war; I'm glad to see it did not. I have been a PC user pre Windows 95 era. Windows for me was always kinda of a hit and miss OS. Sure a new OS is going to have problems; I Feel...

    Considering a Mac questions...

    I made the jump about 6 months ago from the PC to a Mac. Vista was the main reason for the change. It is the worst OS I have ever used. micro$oft needs a new OS built from the ground up; not to keep adding to Windows 95. I got the 24'' Imac. Had it for a month and a half before the new model...

    Cheap Spekaer Wire

    I would recommend using 14AWG or even as large as 12 AWG for an 80' run. The amp in your tuner would thank you for it; I have a 2nd zone set up outside about 80 or 90' just as you are doing and I really have to crank the volume up MUCH higher than with the speakers with only 2' runs. The larger...

    Initial review of PS3 1.80 upgrade

    Was the PS2 game you tested full screen or were there black bars on the side? As i have only seen PS2 games played on a PS3 via HDMI on my 42'' Philips 42PF9631D/37 I'm not sure if this is an issue with my rig or if the lines are due to an issue the PS3 has when rendering PS2 games on all...

    New PS3 Firmware 1.80 - DVD Upscaling - Media Center!!!!

    God of War 1 & 2 look better than some 360 games I have (I do love my 360 too!). If you like that kind of game and have never played it go pick up God of War 1 at Wally World for $20. They really are great games; Epic even. In the game menu turn smoothing off, progressive scan on, and if you...

    New PS3 Firmware 1.80 - DVD Upscaling - Media Center!!!!

    That is going to be a great feature for someone that does not have a PC ( I bet there are people out there). IF they would add more plug-in support for the web browser you could use it to upload them to your 1 hour local drug store for .18 or so per copy. Who would have thought it 10 years ago...

    New PS3 Firmware 1.80 - DVD Upscaling - Media Center!!!!

    Hey! I love it. I got the Blu-ray movies also; Thanks. I would just love to play PS2 games in full screen.It's not that bad at all with small black lines on the side but I just hate to do that to a Plasma set when I play for 4-6 hours. I might be off base thinking that this update would change...

    New PS3 Firmware 1.80 - DVD Upscaling - Media Center!!!!

    I was hoping this update would make PS2 games (God of war 1 & 2) full screen on my 1080i Phillips plasma. PS3 is by default 1080i via HDMI on the TV. When I select Full screen in the Game options menu I get a black screen for 30 sec; then it defaults back. I forced the PS3 to 720p;l the game...
