    What was your first computer?

    What was the first computer you owned? Coleco Adam (1984) and then an IBM XT Clone (1986). I was the envy of all my fellow college freshmen with my 20MB Hard drive. The real IBM XT only had a 2 floppy disk configuration. You had to go clone to get a hard drive. 2) What was the first...

    How to Handle 1/2 million files in XP

    I understand the software only saves to one directory, but is there a reason you need to keep all the files in One Directory? If you manually archive the files to sub folders by Week or Month and that would make the base directory much more usable.

    Don finally gets a win 7 computer. Not all it was cracked up to be!

    Are you running the 64-Bit version of Windows 7? If you are that is for sure why your Card File program isn't working, you stated it was a 16 bit app. Quite possibly this is the same problem you are having with the older version of Quicken. 16bit applicaitons will not run on a 64bit operating...

    Android app usage

    The article say what the top 10 and/or top 50 android apps are. I'd be interested in seeing the list too. I'd like to see a similar study done for iOS as well. I'd thing they have similar statistics.

    Is Kindle What I need?

    When I read my tablet or nook outsde. I have to remember to spin them to landscape mode. The screens are polarized and are not visable at all while I'm wearing sunglasses. Put them on their side and they are prefectly usable outdoors in the shade.

    What if there really is not a tablet market? Only an iPad market?

    I also agree that the IPAD is the better consumer tablet. I also think the IPhone is the better consumer smart phone, but apparently the masses of Android Phone buyers disagree. I think that competion is a good thing and in the long run will be real benefactor for consumers and geeks.

    What if there really is not a tablet market? Only an iPad market?

    The premise of the Article was about one Android Tablet that shipped without one hardware feature enabled and did not look at in any way the other Android tablets that have been releases since then. It harped about the unavailability of a feature that the IPAD can't do at all no matter how many...

    What if there really is not a tablet market? Only an iPad market?

    Ok, if you have to have an adapter to use a SD card, then the Transformer can do that to. With the ASUS transform it can be done with the keyboard dock which has one built in plus 2 USB slots, a full keyboard, a track pad and an additional battery. It can also be done on the transformer with a...

    What if there really is not a tablet market? Only an iPad market?

    I disagree with the premise of the article. The difference in capabilities and pricing is part of what makes the Android tablets different then Ipads. But an android tablet that has the capabilites you want. Want a Micro SD slot, but one with a working Micro SD lost. Want USB capabilities...

    Android Honeycomb Tablets

    The front runner Android smart phone changes on almost a weekly basis. I don't think this is hurting android sales or its ability to complete with the Iphone. I don't think that in the long term the lack of a "front runner" Honeycomb tablet is going to hurt the Android Tablet market. That...

    Android Honeycomb Tablets

    ASUS needs to get their manufacturing issues under control. The earthquake in Japan is really hurting them. I got my ASUS Transformer on Monday and I love it. Same processor, same memory, slightly different screen (but a great screen) then all the rest and $100 cheaper then every other...

    Best Buy Downsizing.

    My local Best Buy no longer carries motherboards and CPUs in stock, but still carries tower cases. With inventory management like that, they deserve what they get. I know I would pay more at Best Buy for an emergency computer repair that required a new CPU and motherboard, but you can't buy...

    Verizon Will be Offering the iPad, end of October

    I just read the article. If you haven't the deal is for an IPad WiFi and a Verizon MiFi combo. So it isn't like the IPad will be working directly with the verizon network. However any Apple and Verizon deal at this point does lead one to be more open to some of the other rumors about Verizon...

    Dell Streak Marketing Targets

    I agree on the size issue. I have a Verizon Droid and screen and form factor are a little small for reading e-books and surfing the web. I'd actually like someting a little bigger then you, in the 7"-10" range with no Cell Phone cabilites, WiFi Only and a price starting around $199 to around...

    Dell Streak Marketing Targets

    The problem with the 5" Streak is that it really is just a large Android Phone. It can make phone calls. You can't hand a device that makes phone calls out to kids in class rooms. Teachers and School admin maybe, but not kids. And at only 5" it is to small for what a teacher or admin staff...

    IT Career question

    For only a 2 year degree, I'd go with a hardware track. Help Desksupport, Networking, Server Configuration and Installation. Unless you have experience getting into programming with only a 2 year degree can be difficult. Server Configuration can include Linux depending on the company and what...

    Help with Vista

    Sounds like hard drive, memory or other hardware failure not an operating system problem. Possibly heat related as when the computer is cool it works, but once it is up to operating termperatures the problem is occuring.
