Re: [CGUYS] WinXP & SATA

I think there should be a law. If you're going to sell a motherboard with SATA, and if WinXP still doesn't support SATA without a floppy, then dammit, pack a floppy with your board! The only reason you'd need a floppy with a DQ965GF is to set up a RAID on the SATA controller, correct me if I'm w

[rant] What a PITA. This Intel DQ965GF board, purchased 4/07, didn't come with any floppy disk (or files) despite the fact WinXP is still the most common OS. No problem, if their website responds to an obvious "DQ965 floppy drivers" query, but of course it doesn't. At the time I simply kicked the

I usually find it is best to buy refubs from the manufacturer and not the open market. I have gotten some really good deals from Epson and Kodak on refurb electronics. They usually give manufacturers warranty with them, and sometimes even throw in free shipping. Stewart At 06:39 PM 6/6/20

Re: [CGUYS] DSLR question: let's end this

Please. The D40 new is superior to a refurbished or new D70 (or D70s). The Nikon 18~55mmVR lens is excellent. A DSLR one buys today is overtaken swiftly by next models, certainly within 18 months. A film-era camera, such as Hasselblad (I use them even now with great reliability), was viabl

Re: [CGUYS] DSLR question (was over shooting

Perhaps I should have been more specific. I wasn't questioning the "refurb" status since the work was performed by Nikon as I'm sure Nikon is a good place to go to have one of their cameras refurbished. What I was questioning was the cost and to a lesser extent, the original need for the refurb

Re: [CGUYS] DSLR question (was over shooting

I had no idea you could still pay pretty close to new price for a used/refurbished camera. Yes, it does say "refurbished by NIKON includes warranty" but I don't think that justifies the price. When new, the D70 body sold for $1,099 (the "kit" with 18-70mm AF-S lens was $1,299), so even though
