What is your opinion on EBAY Stores? good or bad? I know some of you have your own store and some do not. What is the main differences in opening up a store? (besides the 15.95 a month!)
do you get to list items until they sell?
When people do searches will your store items still come up?

Is it worth paying that every month?

I've been hearing more and more lately that people who use VoIP (voice over internet protocol) as their "home telephone" service instead of a landline, often run into trouble if they need to make 911 calls. Specifically, that 911 operators are unable to tell where you are calling from.

This would be very DANGEROUS in emergency situations! For example, what if someone had a heart attack and was only able to call 911 and say he/she needed help, then passed out before saying where she/she lived?

Is it true that some VoIP companies have this problem? If so, I'd like to know WHICH ones they are, and if they have plans to address this frightening situation. Thanks for your help!

My gf downloaded two antivirus's which caused her pc to crash. Tried to use system restore but it froze. After pulling the plug and rebooting the pc hangs at the XP logo screen. I tried reparing with the system disks but it needs the admin password which she cant remember. Anyone have any ideas? She has lots of photos on her harddrive which she would hate to lose. Many thanks in advance.

The popcorn.com website appeared on my screem. I cannot remove it or click it off; unless I shut down the computer. But then it will come back again. Even the firewall cannot stop it. Worse yet, I cannot contact the website, because it has a 1-900 phone number. The only way is to buy what they have to offer, Can anyone help?

Please use these words and make a paragraph. You can change tense and all that stuff if you want. Be creative!
