    WordX doesn't recognize old files

    make sure you installed all the file conversion formats when you installed word. I know on pcs that only a few formats are installed as default, but if you do a custom, you can convert about anything. If you have the office suite, look in the value pack addon that is on the cd. It will have...

    Problem with Printer Sharing

    From what i remember, you need a program like "Dave" inorder to get it to print from the pcs. You should be able to print from the mac if the printer is hooked into a pc. I looked into that back when 10.1 came out and that is basically what i needed. i dont know if they have changed that.

    My refrigerator keeps my computer up!

    Is it a $5 surge protector or an actual computer surge protector. There is a huge difference in the cleanliness of the power. See if they are on the same circuit. That may be it as well since it is getting a power spike when the motor kicks off. It is very, very unlikely it is vibration. If...

    MS Office rant .....

    I agree that office is better than most, but it is still crap in my book. I am actually being sacreligious here, but i like windows 2000. Not xp and definitely nothing before hand. I switched in back when 10.1 came out and lost the need for 2000. but im just rambling now... anyways, word x...

    MS Office rant .....

    yeah,word x is the culprit. I would like to use another program, but my class requires we use MSword so there wont be any incompatibilties with converting the files since it is an internet based class. We just upload everything to the schools servers. also, student price for me was $6. Cant...

    Pocket Tanks...Wooo Hoooo!!!

    Talk about addicting. Nothing like lobbing artillery shells back and forth for a few hours. I think i grabbed it off apples site. Probably the only shareware game i actually endedup buying. Name is suggestive, but at least it isnt pocket pool or pocket rockets. hehe.

    Tivo and Rendevous

    80 hours is more than enough for the average tv watcher. 640 hours...wow.. you can record a month of tv. I would like them to have a cheap model that is around 15-20 hours and $150-$200 cheaper. $400 for the players and then the monthly fee add up quickly. Not everyone needs to be able to...

    After all the Dark Side isn't THAT fast!

    Your a dork.. I thought that racism was over.. Appearantly not. It is now between the "type of computer" you use and what your neighbor uses. But seriously, you are a dork with not much to do if you think this is a pressing matter. Go get a job or find something through religion...

    PC users not buying new faster machines

    Hopefully this will dawn a new era in speed improvements in computing. Not in processors, but all the bottle necks along the path. Imagine what computing would be like if the processor @ 2ghz was the bottleneck. I want hard drives to get beyond their sorry state and get up to par...
