    Google call

    I am using it for voice and used video between me in LA and daughter currently in Atlanta. Both modes worked and of course are free for US calls. The call forwarding to almost any number is also very nice. Try it, it's free.

    iPod Touch or other music/video player ?

    avg1joe is right about internet access but in today's world any kid that really wants to can find ways to get on the internet be it friends etc. It's just my opinion but regardless of the method for getting on the net parents need to discuss the use of internet with their children and work out...

    ipod touch question

    I found that the touch pick up range for wifi connections is less than other types of wifi devices. In part of my house where the PS3 picks up the wifi signal the touch does not. If I move the touch closer to the source it works fine. I'm not sure this is the case for every body but it may help.

    Quad Core Processors

    Mr. Smith is correct. I traded my Intel Quad for the I 7 because I do video editing of my home movies. The I 7 is faster for that but otherwise my Quad worked just fine for most apps. Just look at price vs feature you want.

    Firefox not as safe as thought

    I tried Opera for a week now. I like it better then FF. But others may not feel the same. FF does in deed offer more plugins, but I too a lot of adware and spyware on FF. Have not used IE8 much but will use it as backup to Opera rather than than FF. Just my opinion.

    PC for general use & camcorder

    I have an HF 100 as well for about 9 months. I used an Intel Quad 32 bit Windows and Sony Vegas editing and it seemed to work well. I just upgrade to an Intel I 7 Windows 64 bit machine which does speed editing up a bit. But most editing programs at the moment are 32 bit so they don't take...

    Anyone have an i7 intel chip yet?

    I got a Gateway FX 6800 Wednesday. It has an Intel I7 chip running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit. Just started reinstalling my programs and drivers. So far I am not having any problems. Some programs / drivers have 64bit but most are 32bit which are working fine (so far). Itunes has a 64 bit...

    Went to Fry's today for the first time

    I live 2 miles from a Fry's and spend more time and $$$ than I should at Fry's. You can get great deals on sales items. But do read boxes carefully, some items are refurbished/rebuilt/reconditioned. There are people who say these are good deals because they are checked-out better than the ones...
