    It seems to be shuttles...have reliability problems...?

    For what its worth, I've rolled out 60 or so of various shuttles as desktop replacements here at work, and have converted to shuttles exclusively at home. I have seen 1 unit with a faulty NIC and thats it. On the other hand, a relative didn't want to take my advice and bought a prebuilt...

    RCT3 or NFS UG2

    RCT3was a letdown for me. I skipped RCT2, and have had RCT1 for years. The inability to make simple tunnels without massive workarounds, the guest problems and the lack of real new attractions are my biggest beefs. Pehaps these issues will be fixed in a patch, time will tell.

    Cable Broadband in a Business.

    Your cc machine will run over the phone line, unless you are buying a much more expensive ip model. Certain IP models also have a phone terminal, so its an either or proposition. ATMs usually run phone line as well. If you need CC terminal model reccomendations let me know.

    Cable Broadband in a Business.

    We use the low end 99$ month package for a seperate net connection for vendors who visit our offices. ( keeps the sales schmucks' virus laden notebooks off our production network) . This includes slow up/down rates and analog cable TV. From personal experience, the installer will do the very...

    Please advise me on cat5 installation tools

    Ideal Telemaster is not ratcheting style. Having said that, I have worn the print off the handles of mine, had it for 4+ years and use it at least twice a week. I like it a lot more then my AMP ratcheting one, although the ratchet adds torque.

    My first mod! and... should I invest in a Dremel?

    I use my dremel for a lot of projects around the house - and speaking from personal experience, Dremel stands behind its products 100%. Mine died after a few years, so I sent it in for warranty repair. I got back a newer model, and a few extra bonuses. :D

    Checking hundreds of email addresses to see if they come back undeliverable?

    Prospect Verifier can do it, we use it here. http://www.marketing-2000.net/pv.htm This IS a spammer tool, but can also be used for good instead of evil- sort of like a handgun. Myself, I feel dirty just reccomending it. One thing to look out for- if this company goes under, then any reinstalls...

    What CRM software does your company use?

    We have outgrown Goldmine, and we are looking for a new product. Canidates so far include ACCPAC and NetSuite (although a hosted solution is not a requirement.) Any feedback on either of those two or the pros and cons of what your company is using for CRM would be great. Also the number of...

    Symantec Corporate 9.0 Issue

    I was getting the same thing, if the machine is not on when the virus defs are scheduled to push out or the time of day update was after the PC had booted- even though it had already dl'ed the update from the master server or was about to do it during boot. My solution: turn off notifications...

    Veritas Backup Exec 9.1 review

    Hey, thanks for posting this. I am looking at upgrading some of my earlier versions of Backup Exec and was wondering if you could look and see how good the support is in 9.1 for backing up to mapped drives/remote locations - I know that later versions support this, how good is the support and...

    Update: Gamestop, Westgate Mall Brockton MA has D3 in - and has a couple of copies over the amount of preorders. Get there now if you havent preordered, are local and want it today. Just picked mine up, so cut me out of this thread.

    I work in Brockton, and just moved to Easton. I guess I will just wait for Gamespot to get my copy in, I have a few things that need to be taken care of tonight anyway. Enjoy the game!

    Be more specific- how many lines are you trying to utilize? trying to reutilize standard phone jacks or replacing with (for instance) a Levition wall plate? Got a 66 block? A phone will work with just one pair, start with Blue/Blue white as a pair, then Orange/Orange white, Green/Green...

    400$ 28K phone modem?

    Older credit card machines have slower onboard modems and need to have a modem that can train down on the other end - perhaps it has something to do with the headend for similar equipment. A lot of curent modems only account for 56K and cant do the train down. Still seems like a lot of money so...

    Really whats the deal?

    Neither Doom3 or HL2 could ever possibly live up to the hype surrounding them, no matter how good (or bad) they are. I'll pick up both when they come out. Until then , I am not going to sweat it.

    best router/firewall $1k.

    I was looking at these http://www.cyberguard.com/snapgear/sme575.html primarily because Rackshack/EV1 servers is using them for their 'private rack' offering. Anyone had experience with this product? The feature set looks about right and cost is about 995.00 MSRP

    I like phpwebhosting as well for standard domain hosting, but for real hosting we have leased a box at ev1servers (rackshack). Your entire box, do whatever you feel like with it.

    DVD RW Recomendations

    Another vote for the Plextor 708A, but be warned that it comes with the ass-tacular roxio suite instead of Nero. Currently the one day sale at newegg retail box $165.00 is a great price.

    Replaced CD burner with DVD burner, now windowws and Nero say no burner installed???

    Chances are your current version of Nero does not recognize your new drive. If it was a drive-specific branded version of Nero, you may be out of luck. If it was Nero 5, a lot of newer drives are not recognized in this older version. Upgrade to Nero 5.5 or Nero 6.

    Patch Panel installation..w/ pics

    You may have been able to get a custom 'short shelf' fabricated at a place like http://www.racksolutions.com/index.html , but it would probably be cost prohibitive. What you put together doesn't look bad at all!

    Pink cold cathode :(

    You could go to just about any craft store and get some red cello gift basket wrap (about 2.49 for a huge roll of the stuff). Wrap your tubes a couple of times and you will see a noticeable difference. It still won't be 100% deep dark red but it won't be pink either. If you really want a deep...
