Hey Mike, think its about you'd went for some shopping:
I have found a particularly interesting item on ebay.com
You can buy it here, n have it for your comfort, since you ordered me a soda!

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3219508586&category=1407

;)

[Predator]

lol

[Michael]

for some reason that item sounds painful

[kioria]

Hey, only $5.95 + $100 postage to Australia or where you live. Postage is ripp-off.

[Michael]

lol I can sell some of the stuff in the hwg store for 6 dollars and charge 200 dollar shipping
sounds like a good idea. Shipping may be really high but maybe the customer wont notice

18.m.IL, with pic

now that the chatroom answer is out of the way....

I like some stuff, I don't like other stuff, when I say what I don't like, a lot of people get angry, so I won't. I have a girlfriend, she is cool, her parents arn't. I ask a lot of questions, I depmand even more answers. I learn best by doing. If I don't get something, walk me through it, I will lean that better than if I am shown a manual. You give me a manual I wil ahev to refer to it time and time again. I do it with you, I remember. (I love tutorials :)) I can spell, but i just type too fast for my own good. I seem to haev devloped some sort of keyboard dyslekxia. I use IESpell if I have the time to fix things, if not, good luck decipering my pots :) I am a member at a few other forums, namely pabuk, winamp. Although I'm new, I thin I'm maknig a name for myself, I may stick aroudn awhile :) I like just about every form of musicl but crap...er....rap, and country. I like penguins. They like me.

ps. the admin here rocks!

p.p.s is "steve" teh same steve from winamp?

Not allowed to delete... :(

[Bakergeek]

I registered mainly cause you guys seem to be good-geeks. Maybe i can find answers to some hardware questions here , maybe not.

The thing that got me here was the 'how to make XP in 100 megs' post on a news site (GeforceX)

As you can see to your left i am from Sweden.

I guess that's pretty much what you need to know right now. ;)

About time Ferrari showed their reliability of the cars. Good race overall for every driver. Nice work for Rubens, my favourite driver.

[AntiBOFH]

Hi

[Predator]

hello AntiBOFH, welcome :)

[Michael]

hi

[Sufian]

Hello

[shinji257]

heh computer and anime geek. Sit in front of my computer almost the entire day (work and home). At home I will mess with anything I can find to see what it does. Sometimes breaking it to the point where windows won't boot (If it does, I can usually fix it). I beta test for Microsoft. I have already fixed 2 of the bugs with Office 2003 Beta 2 (verifed fixes by other beta testers). I have a small collection of animes and do enjoy any anime I can catch on tv -- well just about any ;) .

My most recent computer was built at home. I took a couple of parts from my old gateway computer and carried them over but ~95% of all the stuff was picked out and purchased over the internet.

In a room about the size of a standard bedroom, I have crammed in there my entertainment system and computer. The entertainment system is composed of a Nintendo Gamecube, Sony Playstation 2, VCR, RCA DVD-In-A-Box w/5.1 Dolby Digital Surround, Dish Networks receiver, and a 25" TV.

In the future I plan on building my own MP3 player. PJRC.com sells the base hardware needed to build such. From there, you add a hard drive, SIMM memory, and power and you are good to go. You of course will probably want to make a case for it and if you are using a 3.5" hard drive will require some sort of seperate power supply. Before you say it, I am aware that it is cheaper to just get a Nomad or an iPod. I will just appreciate the one I build more. Besides, although not put on the site but due to the drive being standard Fat32 formatted, It can double as a data transport device which Nomad and iPod can't.
