So a few buddy of mine wants to go on a vacation together – where the sun and the beach is without the family – only them guys. I suggested the Outer Banks rentals because they have vacation homes by the beach. The rentals shared amongst a few geeks is going to be very affordable [...]
I’m glad that business is slowly getting better for us at the store – a few years ago, we thought we might need to close the store and go out and find jobs – both the spouse and myself. Now that we are seeing an increase in loyal customer, we also need to get a [...]
We sell computers and console systems at our store – and many a times – I see a customer making cash advance instead of saving up to buy what they need. I love the cash – don’t get me wrong – but you all know that cash advance – should only be made by people [...]
Quite some time ago I picked up a cheap netbook for when we travel. We don’t travel often so it didn’t need to be anything overly fancy. It was pretty bad though, one of those 9″ Acers with the tiny little keys, practically impossible to touch type on. So a few months later someone brought [...]
It happens every so often, I get the urge to hop back into an old game and see what’s new and who’s still playing. Today I’ve been thinking about EverQuest II again. I’ve missed 2 whole expansions since I last played, so I’m sure there’s a lot of new content. I’m also pretty sure that [...]
A computer came in today to get some work done on it. Wasn’t booting up due to a hard drive config problem, something messed up with the raid settings as far as I can tell. Damn nice computer though, guy said he paid around $7000 for it last spring. I checked it out and it’s [...]
I’ve been using a Radeon X1950 PRO video card for about 4 years now. It was good when I got it and it was on sale for $199, so it was pretty cheap too. Only had 256mb RAM though so even though it would play most new games you just couldn’t crank up the graphics [...]
After using the same gear for the better part of 3 years I’ve finally gotten some upgrades for my computer. I was still running an old Athlon X2 5200+ CPU with 2Gb of RAM, now I’m up to a Phenom X4 3.2ghz with 3gb of RAM. The new motherboard still only runs DDR2 though, would [...]
It wasn’t completely free if I remember right, but they did cover 75% of the replacement cost. A number of years ago there was a power surge at work and it killed my receipt printer. One of the girls called the power company to complain and they verified that a surge had taken place due [...]
So we just bought a netbook with Windows 7 Starter on it – we are so used to our Windows Vista in our old netbook – we find that the Starter comes with limitations. You see you can’t even change it’s wallpaper for one and you can only run concurrent applications on a PC at [...]
We received a call from someone asking for tech support for his computer he had just bought a few days ago. Well, of course – we must help if you had bought it a few days ago – hell! even if you caught a virus after a few days – we will still take care [...]
These days with everything being computerized it’s both wonderful and scary at the same time. You can do your banking and pay your bills from the comfort of your computer chair, you can book movie tickets in advance, in some places you can even renew your license online. This level of convenience brings a certain [...]
Coolest gadget for any ipod user and specially designed for the 4th generation of iPod touch users. As you can see this speakers has gotta be inspired by Lego. And at $42 each, pretty steep but can be a traveling comfort for those who travels a lot. I know a friend bought this for someone [...]
Wireless mouse is the in thing in our store and the wife would love one of this when it comes out in August by Microsoft. The Mobile mouse 6000 was recently released in conjunction with a similar 5000 model. Both use BlueTrack and are comfortably sized without being too bulky to cart around. The 6000 [...]
