Re: [CGUYS] Battery

2007-07-16 Thread John Duncan Yoyo

Another source for odd batteries is http://www.batteriesplus.com. They
have a store in Fairfax at 11213-G Lee Highway which isn't that far
from MicroCenter.

 Internal backup battery for what?

   For the retention of various settings when the computer is not
powered up.  In the DOS/Windows world, they are known as BIOS
batteries.


 If you are talking about the mobo battery, try radiosmack.

   Radioshack no longer carries the 3.6 volt lithium 1/2 AA type that I
needed, and neither does Microcenter where I used to find them.
Radioshack had it listed on their website, albeit at a premium price of
$16.99,  but once I got to their local store, I was chagrined to find
they have dropped it from their catalog, and the store had none.

[CGUYS] marking on CDs with marker pens?

2007-07-16 Thread gk

I heard this only recently and wonder if anyone has any experience:

Most people mark on their CDs and DVDs with harsh solvent-based
permanent markers that can cause damage by corroding the top layer
of the media. Safe pens are solvent-free, non-toxic, and alcohol-free.

And here is a link to a better explanation which states 20 years is
about the longest time before degrading:

Anyone know more about this?

We had a flame war about that here about a year ago. We now know that...

Our right-wing faction will fight to the death to preserve their right to 
use pens with petroleum-distillate solvents.

Tom's theory is that using an ink with a strong solvent will soften the 
plastic, making it more permeable to bad things in the air. Different 
people have different results with such disks depending on the disk's 
exposere to bad things. This inconsistent reports about long-term 
problems.

Tom uses Staedtler CD-R pens, which are made in Germany. He bought his at 
Staples. They cost the same as Sharpies.

Wow, snide remarks in third person...it's like being on a list with Dave
Sim.

I have cds I made ten years ago written on with sharpies and they still work
great.  And these are the el cheapo cds to boot.

Wallets made of stainless steel fiber.

Not cheap, but certainly good looking.

  Thanks for the info.  I know they are available on-line, and for less  
than in a store.  However, when you need it first thing in the morning,  
on-line is not an option.
