    Missed call without reception = no missed call notification

    I work in a building that makes even my VZW service drop to no signal. Occasionally it will regain weak reception but eventually drop out again completely. I've had a couple people try to call me during the times of no reception. Unless they leave a voicemail I have no idea they tried to call -...

    1-3MB file transfer speed in WHS

    Very similar to the problem in this thread. When the build was fresh I could copy files fairly quickly. 20MB/second+ if I recall correctly. Probably faster. Several months ago speeds dropped drastically. I changed nothing in my setup. File transfers average at about 1.6MB/second. This has...

    Updating Vista PC w/o internet

    Soon I will be tasked with updating a relative's Vista machine. As I understand it, it is lacking many updates--mainly anti-virus and Windows updates. This is mainly due to being stuck on a slow 56k internet connection. It hasn't seen a high speed internet connection for at least a year. There...

    Droid navigation - would you ditch your Nuvi?

    For those that have used the navigation feature of the new Motorola Droid - would you get rid of your Nuvi or other stand-alone GPS? Why or why not? From what I've seen, it looks like it works nice. Especially since you can get the car dock and take advantage of live traffic, streetview, etc.

    WHS+small SSD
