One Computer Switching Between Multiple Monitors
I have a Mac Mini with a single DVI-video output. It came with a DVI-to-VGA adapter. I have a DVI-to-HDMI cable, a couple VGA cables, and a DVI-to-DVI cable. We had a decent LCD flat panel we used for daily computer work which had decent resolution and crisp text. We do watch movies on occasion, however, and it was hard to see across the room (we do not have a "TV"), so we got a bigger screen (plasma) at a clearance sale. But the bigger screen, while being fine for movies, is very hard

About a year ago I bought a pocket drive that you put a memory card into and then plug into a usb port. I bought a 1gb Sandisk memory card to put into the thing. It was really cool I could put the memory card into my camera and took pictures on it and at the same time use it as a flash drive to store other computer files. Everything was going fine until one day I plugged it into my pocket drive and tried to put a text file onto the card to give to a friend. A message came up "Access deni
I have a computer headset that connects to my sound card. One connects to the audio and the other to the mic.

This Emachine, Worth The Cash?
http://www.emachines.com/products/products.html?prod=W3644I'm not exactly working off a fixed budget, as I'm spending most of my time doing school stuff. I have $374, and this computer totals out to be exactly $324.07. My question is, is this a piece of junk, should I save my cash for a bigger one?eMachines seem to be sturdy, I've had mine for 9 years.My current system is a Windows ME, so I need the upgrade ASAP.

I am looking to purcahse a new phone (old ones had it and works willing to purchase it for me) and I was looking at getting the Nokia n95. Looking at the specs it doesn't look that bad, plus the gps will be very useful for me! The only worrying thing is the battery life. I had read a few reviews that have said that it is pretty pathetic. Is this true? Also, are there any other suggestions that you want to put forward instead of the n95.Thanks-jimmy

My current motherboard: MSI 865PE NEO 2 MS-6728 Ver.1I've done quite a few tests and it's unable to boot up. I replace the PSU and it still doesn't help.

The board is fairly old, I just want to get the pc in working order again. Hope someone can help.
Some people have asked me is the Macbook worth it to buy, I say that it's been great so far, only problem is the fact that there's no memory card reader, and I don't like the fact that its display chip is an Intel GMA 950. I'd be happier for a GMA X3100 for the price I'm paying... As with all laptops, be sure to buy an extended warranty from Apple. I got AppleCare for C$299 (it's a ripoff since my American counterpart pays $100 less and our currency is on par. T

Beautiful Technology At Work - Inside A Hard Drive, While It's Running
Newer drives intentionally lower the armature/actuator speed to decrease noise, which can sometimes affect drive performance, but to be honest, I kind of miss hearing the click-click-click of the days of old. Besides, if you can't hear the drive, it also means you can't hear the drive failing; the noise produced by most hard drives is meaningful and useful.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp-VBlLuDic&NR=1I want to see some defragging going on.And here's another video showing how mu
