Re: [H] HP NC6000 laptops?
It looks like you're locked into buying the HP mini-pci card, which sucks rats. http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=567021&admit=-682735245+1157601230876+28353475 Also, 99.999% of laptops do not have upgradable video cards, so you're going to be stuck with that 9600. The specs on that laptop don't seem that bad, though. I wouldn't turn my nose at it. Christopher Klein wrote: Anyone on the list familiar with these? Work is getting rid of them and I took a few.

[H] Exchange 5.5 question...
Hi all, Not sure how to ask this as I do not have full info... A client called me today to ask me about an issue at his work (he's the pastor at a large church and I have done stuff for him on his personal pc). The scenario is that the use uses remote admin to connect to their local server and they run a MMC snap-in called Distribution Admin to work with their email distribution list. The user went to delete an email address and she thinks she deleted all of the email addresses. The server has some Exchange 5.5 items in the programs menu. I am assuming that she is running Exchange Server. Anyway, has anyone heard of that snap-in? And does anyone know how to restore the mailing list (probably contacts) that she deleted? They have server back-ups, but she is not sure what is backed up. Thanks, Bobby

RE: [H] External HDD recommendations
I have found this helpful: The official external ENCLOSURE thread http://www.fatwallet.com/t/28/496281 I just bought this for a client from www.ZipZoomFly.com (isn't that a stupid name?). http://www.apricorn.com/product_details.php?ID=332 http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=103007 It had a rebate that went out on 8/31.

I haven't got the drive yet so it could be IDE or SATA I'm flexible. I do prefer not to have an external power supply but that's not a hard constraint. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance, Gary Hunter
Re: [H] NuMachine
Get the 4300. It's the exact same as the 4100 but with a wireless option that you can easily turn off. That way when you become comfortable with using wireless, all you need to do is enable it again.

Was a wireless solution. Did find the DGL-4100, which seems to be the "wired" brother to your rec. It may be the solution. Really hate to retire a very solid RT-314. But, ... :)

Disabling the wireless on a wireless router is easy; and if disabled in BIOS is not enough, most of them have removable antenna ;) > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hardware- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of dhs > Sent: Wednesday, September 06, 2006 1:45 AM > To: The Hardware List > Subject: Re: [H] NuMachine > > jmaccraw, > Completely accept your comments.
