About three months ago I installed enough screws to finally secure the top and bottom covers to my R4C and T4XC. The screws had been removed years ago and were finally lost. The radios worked just fine with the screws missing but I finally decided that secured covers were better than loose covers. No [...] I have been using my old higher speed computer for watching movies from Netflix. For about nine bucks a month netflix will allow you to stream movies off the internet and also provide you with one movie on This is an unusual claim as to what is actually fun, but calling it a pain in the ass would be harder to explain and justify. We have lots of old computer hardware because we save old stuff, and upgrade whenever we can. We also have a habit of collecting old stuff. Can’t bear [...] As I was resurrecting an old Win98 machine, I quickly became aware that some of the stuff we use with XP does not work with Win98 unless we have special drivers. The USB memory stick is one thing that does not work without special drivers. Also, there is some software that will not install on [...] High speed internet, basic cable, VOIP telephone; Pick any two of these services for the introductory price of $99/month for the first six (or maybe 12) months.

A single ethernet cable is plugged into the uplink port of the router. Then additional cables can be plugged into the remaining ports (connections) on the router box. Ethernet connections run at 10 and 100 mbps. These are the [...] On January 20, 2009 we planted several dozen onion sets in our garden. It is now approaching the end of May and the onions are nearly ready for harvest. They vary in size from golf balls to tennis balls. They are ready for harvest because the green tops are laying down. We have [...] Through the recent implementation of a ‘work-at-home’ business venture I came into the possession of a Dell Dimension E521 computer. The Dell is nothing special but it is of recent technology and sports decent speed and memory capacity. It also sports an NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE video card. The cards hardware indicates [...] It is not all fun and roses. Even the best solutions have downsides. There is no all encompassing solution to anything, but there is no reason why we should not know of the downsides before we are blindsided. As indicated earlier, the MagicJack’s main problem is that it needs an active connection to the [...] |
