    Competition to IBM X40?

    From the IBM website, it looks like students get a 10% discount. Not much, but better than nothing. If you know someone that works for IBM, the EPP (Employee Purchase Program) offers 25% discounts. -Dacali

    Competition to IBM X40?

    Thanks for the replies! The Asus S5N seems to fit my requirements fairly well. I'll be sure to look more into that one. The Dell 700m and Powerbook 12" are a bit on the heavy side compared to the X40. My only concern is the finish on the Asus might get scratched up although I should probably...

    Competition to IBM X40?

    I've been looking to replace my Dell D600 (P-M 1.6, 512MB, 40GB, 14.1", < 5 lbs.) with something that is smaller, lighter, and tougher. I take my laptop to all my classes right now, and it's a bit too heavy for my liking. The outside cover seems to be getting scratched up, but that's purely...

    24-bit panels?

    It is 18-bit. Then again, most of everything in my price range is 18-bit. Oh well, that's life. A few monitors I was considering: Samsung 172X Samsung 710T Viewsonic VP171B NEC LCD1760NX Something a bit cheaper would be nice though. DVI is always a plus. If I can't find anything...

    24-bit panels?

    Thanks for the suggestion! I was actually considering it today. I'll probably run out to Fry's tomorrow and have a look around. Saw the 172x from Monitorsdirect.com for $430 and which definately got me interested. After looking for a monitor all day at different websites, I noticed that...

    24-bit panels?

    I'm looking for a 17", 24-bit panel, approx. 25ms LCD. I was wondering if you guys knew of which brands have 24-bit panels. It seems like all the panels I've been reading about on the forum is focused a lot more on faster response times and 19" and larger screens. I'm planning on using it...

    Backing up folder?

    Another option might be to use GNU Parted (qtparted for the graphical version) for Linux. You can always download a Linux Live-CD (like Knoppix or System Rescue CD .) System Rescue CD is only about 100 megs or so. You can attempt to resize your main partition then make a new one for your...

    Backing up folder?

    If you're just planning on reorganizing the folders, I would just copy-and-paste it to another computer (or partition) and move it back afterwards. Otherwise, I found this link in one of the sticky's: http://www2.educ.umu.se/~cobian/cbu5.htm Hope that helps out. -Dacali
