I'm sure he meant PC2700 RAM

Just get cable ties and neaten it up. Or do some cable sleeving.

That's an awesome mousepad...but it only lasts for about three months.

A LOT images/smilies/smile.gif

it makes the mouse extremly easy to slide across by reducing surface friction, unique surface pattern allows optical/laser mouse to track much more accurately.. it's kinda hard to describe how easy it is to slide across this thing, but the difference between this and a normal mouse pad is like day and night. kinda like moving your mouse across a layer of ball bearings, but with more control.

click on the picture I posted above to check out Bit-tech.net's review on it...
if your too lazy to scroll up, here's the link: http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/2003/...tpadzgs/1.html

I was just playing battlefield with it, and I was able to snipe much much more accurately, more than half of my kills were headshots with a sniper rifle images/smilies/vampire.gif

I recently came back from a trip to Singapore and I bought a few gizmos for my iPod, dirt cheap...along with a cool camera i used to photograph them.
http://img107.imageshack.us/img107/9412/rimg0366small2qk.jpg
^Ok thats called an Airplay, by XtremeMac. It allows you to transmit what your playing on your iPod onto a free frequency and listen to it via stereo or car radio. It works much better than the Griffin iTrip that Apple approves of and you can learn more about it here:

http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/9546/rimg0372small2mw.jpg
http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/4236/rimg0374small5fw.jpg
^Now thats Griffin's iBeam. It comes with both a regular flashlight and a laser-beam. They both work perfectly and don't ask me what the point of it is because I dont know! It was cool so I picked it up. Heres a link about it:

http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/9889/rimg0371small4yn.jpg
^Those are portable iPod speakers. It has a small sub on the back and the sound quality is excellent! It charges your iPod while its docked on. Great buy!! Heres more info about it:

Hhmmm I wouldnt think that speed would make any diffrence but as you move into diffrent regions/suburbs, you might need to change the freqency due to other broadcasts being picked up. BTW if you live in New York or Los Angeles or somethin...don't bother with this product images/smilies/thumbdown.gif Too many airwaves there images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

That Airplay is a great idea. My sister was just asking me what would be the best way to hook up an iPod to a car stereo, and it would work great here since there's big gaps in between the stations.

Make that pretty much any metropolitan area, since I had one through Washington DC and Atlanta and there is no space on the dial anywhere to use one. For those type areas I suggest an aftermarket (or some manufacturers are now installing) auxiliary inputs.
