Our office uses refurb Dells exclusively. If you go that route, I cannot recommend enough that you buy the highest level of warranty they'll sell you--the one where a tech comes to you that day to fi
Okay, it's in the shop, and you guys are probably better at this than anyone else... My CTS daily driver has 'parking' lights in the headlight housing (I don't know what else to call them--little whi
So just...snip the old one off and splice in a new one? _______________________________________________ Shop-talk@autox.team.net Archive: http://www.team.net/archive
So the garage shower, as it turns out, is shot. It's a one-piece fiberglass unit and the floor of it has disintegrated. I'd like to replace it with a Tileredi/Kerdi/prefab whatever pan and then tile
I suspect my multimeter isn't 100%. The continuity test won't always alarm when I touch the probes, the needle doesn't sweep very well, etc. ,etc. I just put new batteries in it, so I'm thinking it m
Yeah, the one I have I got because it had a needle and I remember someone telling me being able to see the needle twitch was useful. But that's only true if the thing works, and this one doesn't seem
Not its first intended use, but it'll hopefully work for this too: My living room has a Home Depot/Hampton Bay ceiling fan. The fan has a wireless remote that operates the fan and the integrated ligh

I've had cars that spec 0W-20 for a few years now, so I guess the shock has worn off. I still worry that it can hold up to the Florida heat, but they spec-ed it, so I have to assume they've done thei
I looked at them, and they (kind of) make sense for us because of a combination of factors: 1) No natural gas where I live. You can get propane, but itb s expensive. 2) Fairly steep electric rates. 3
You guys are geniuses, and I want a good answer. I have two computers, a Dell and an HP. The Dell picked up some nasty script things and I canb t get rid of them. I like overkill, so I want to format
Okay, bought new Win8 discs. Bought new Samsung 250GB SSD. Put SSD in laptop, works. Installed Win8, works. Win8 is not 'activated', because the discs I purchased appear to be for an upgrade, not a c
I do not have the discs that came with the Dell--Dell didn't ship it with discs, and I kept asking Dell for them, they never sent them, and I finally gave up. The Dell does have one of those Windows
To tell the truth, I'm more perturbed at Microsoft than I am at the Best Buy guy. A lot of that is because I share the same opinion of Best Buy employees that most people do--I fully expect if I held
You should tell that to my laptop--it's disagreeing with you. _______________________________________________ Shop-talk@autox.team.net Archive: http://www.team.net/archive
I can't help with the Nuvi--I have one, but I used it for a few days before I decided Google Maps on my phone was infinitely better. Like John says, there's a 'traffic' layer. I resolutely ignored it
Do the prepaid phones need to have E911 capability? I've got every old cell phone I've ever had in a drawer somewhere--it'd be cool to rock the Kyocera 6135 still. ___________________________________
Maybe a dozen years ago, I had a GPS unit do just that--it got stuck in a 'loop' when I missed an interstate exit. It had me exit at the next ramp, get back on the interstate going the opposite direc
A long time ago a neighbor converted the permanently-installed grill on his porch from LP to N.G. Himself. The house didn't go boom so I assume he did it okay. Everything I've ever heard is that it's
After all that angst, I thought I should post an update. Peter (thanks Peter) sent me a Vista ISO file. I burned it to a DVD and tried to install. it wonb t install. Says thereb s a network problem.
