Re: [H] ok, how about this...
Ok, y'all sucked me in. When I can't get there on my Harley, my Toyota Tacoma can get me anywhere. Both are great on gas. 6 cylinders total here. The 13 we just got this weekend, child's play. The Toy has the 2.7 Ltr 4 and it is a mule. Hell, according to the manual, I can use the starter (in 4wd) to get me up a steep incline, out of a mud pit. It ain't that fast but with it being a stick, it can respond when needed. The Harley... don't need explaining. Jim
[H] Low Level Format of Samsung SV8004H
I have tried all I have to get rid of the little 8 MB partition on a Samsung SV8004H hard drive on Hewlett Packard that I want to do a clean install on. In times past, Seagate came to my rescue, but not this time. I tried FDISK and the XP Installation process, to no avail. Samsung says it discontinued its hard drive preparation software since Windows XP CD will do the same thing. Catch 22. It won't. It may do well on a non OEM Samsung hard drive that has not had that little 8 MB partition installed on it by the manufacturer of the computer. Windows XP will not let me ignore that 8 MB partition and install on the next partition. It would be highly appreciated is someone can send me some small utility file that will do this job for me. Hopefully somebody downloaded the Samsung hard drive preparation software before they removed it from their site. Thanks in advance, Chuck

Re: [H] Are all keyboards basically the same?
It's mostly a personal preference. I've had $10 keyboards that I liked, and $50 keyboards that I didn't like. For me its the tactile feedback that counts. I don't like keys that feel spongy or springy. Also, a slightly audible key click is good, but some make way too much 'clackity' noise.

Re: [H] Are all keyboards basically the same?
My feelings after many keyboards has come down to this: Get one that uses switches not membrane. That's after 1. Owning 2 Keytronics, who voided my lifetime warranty for spillage caused by spaying cleaner on the keyboard (i.e. bullshit excuse). 2. MS Natural, Rev 1 or so. Printing wore off, stiction on key travel after a few months. 3. 3 logitechs. One goes unsupported (pre-iTouch); On another, eventually required an elephant typist after 2 years (membrane); A 1.5 year old MX that despite being totally disassembled cleaned by hand, never since worked right mechanically (key travel has stiction) even though electrically the membrane works fine; Lastly a $200 DiNovo abortion that seems to consistently miss the A CTRL keys unless hit just right (membrane). My next keyboard will at least have switches likely corded.

Re: [H] Are all keyboards basically the same?
I still have an old Keytronic KB101-1 capacitance keyboard. It is the finest keyboard I have ever usedbar none. None of the others are even close. These new membrane boards are strictly throwaways and certainly not worth wasting any repair time on. Are the two boards you have physically damaged, e.g., case, keys, main logic board? If it's just pressure domes and switches I may be able to help you. I was in Keytronic Tech support for awhile and have a couple of bags of parts.no keys though. BTW what was so special about a membrane(AKA non-repairable) to pay $200.00?

http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/I/itcrowd/ (ie, see the Watch Online Now!) Yes, you can only download in the UK, but that is primarily a bandwidth issue.

Re: [H] British TV: The IT Crowd
Okay, that's cool, I'll buy that...but just in a more general sense, it amazes me how popular BT remains despite the fact that it is the most heavily monitored of any P2P technology. I don't touch any of it. Seems stupid to me--but again, that's just me.
