    Wireless Gaming mouse upgrade from G700s

    If you liked the MX518 there is one new for sale that I could find at a decent price. I owned one and loved it. I also use the G500's, owning 3 of them now. You can't find them anymore for that price. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001ASFOEI/?tag=tec06d-20

    Tough harddrive... tough.

    Yes, you are correct regarding size. They were considered "monsters" back then and were extremely expensive. We worked on various drive sizes and as I understood it at the time, the larger size drives weren't even offered to the general public until a couple years after 1980. I think the largest...

    Tough harddrive... tough.

    The company I worked for in 1980 actually built the machinery that assembled Priam hard drives. They were out of San Jose, California. I never worked on that equipment myself as I was busy on other projects for Xerox at the time. I wished I could have as it would have been my introduction to...

    Tough harddrive... tough.

    I can't believe me. After all these years of being so careful with my stuff. I dropped a harddrive off my desk onto the hard tile floor. Bam, down it went, and it really smacked the ground. I thought well, there goes a 1 Tb drive down the drain, along with all the files. Nope, it is still...

    SAFE MODE? ok OK, don't start screaming at me for this post

    Didn't mean to sound too lazy to google for info, of course I did that prior to coming on here for ideas. And I couldn't find what I needed. Everything I found said try F4 or F5 upon Boot. And that didn't work, obviously. But you know what? Your google link took me to the right info. Amazing. So...

    SAFE MODE? ok OK, don't start screaming at me for this post

    I say that because I can't find the proper forum to post in. Here is my issue. I have an old pc with security cameras hooked to it via Ethernet and a 16 channel dvd card made by Sharx Security. I use Windows 10 now on it (sorry I did the upgrade) and everything was fine for 3-4 months. It all...

    OFFICIAL Call of Duty Black Ops III (Discussion)

    Ah yes, the old single player or campaign mode. Or play against Bots. I forgot, sorry. Problem for me is... COD is way too boring that way. Pretty boring multi play too. I wish you well my friend, game away. Have fun, ignore me. Rant all done now.

    OFFICIAL Call of Duty Black Ops III (Discussion)

    Yepper... it is a fair rebuttal. The servers stink anyways. And I thank you sincerely for it. No, not kidding. Wait, where ya going? THAT's right, walk away.

    OFFICIAL Call of Duty Black Ops III (Discussion)

    Who wants to play any COD game with the lousy (terrible, they suck so much, slow laggy ass, foreign based most of the time) servers they use? I have been playing COD for 2 or 3 years now and things have just got worse over time. The servers stink so bad and no one to complain to that will do...

    Core i5 or Core i7?

    In reference to your post #43... How about "YOU Feel free to unsubscribe" and stop treating the members with such rudeness with a statement like "Feel free to unsubscribe". I'd much rather see that happen. Your OPINION only regarding I7 vs. I5 is not factual at all, regarding gaming. Just...

    Core i5 or Core i7?

    When the hell did Toms Hardware become a "professional" site? Rofl... There is more junk information on there by 13 year olds than I care to mention. Buddy, I have BOTH the I7 and the I5, and it makes no difference in any games I have played. BF3 included. Sorry to tell ya!!!

    How to get rid of annoying BING? Anyone?

    That's the answer I was looking for, thanks. Just knowing I "CAN'T" get rid of it what I needed to know.

    How to get rid of annoying BING? Anyone?

    SOLVED! Yea, thanks but I had the Bing Search feature set to off. It still searched with Bing even though I told it not to use Bing... but my bad. I forgot to set another Search Provider in lieu of Bing.. and I'm good now. I wonder how I get rid of Bing though entirely. I just don't want it at...
