What is a good external hard drive that could could be plug in to my router? I want to hook it up to my router so ut will be connected to my network.(A must) I don't want to spend more than 150.00 for one. What product would you recomend? I might be able to spend more, but I want to stay with in my budget. Depending on quality and size I might spend more.

Thanks for the feedback

Personally I like Windows wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more then macs. And I think they most certainly are better then Mac unless you want to use the mac for graphic design.

Anyway I'm gathering reasons for why Windows are better then mac. Can you fellow windows users out there tell me what you like more about windows then mac.

I've used both but I like Windows better. :)

last night, my computer was working perfectly fine and normal, and nothing seemed to be wrong with it. so i shut it down for the night because it had been on for sevral days and it needed a reboot. so this morning, i tried turning it on, and it brought me to the normal log in screen. i entered my password, but then the start menu and desktop items didn't show! I thought it was just a matter of time getting them to load, but that was obviously not that case. I tried accsessing task manager, but nothing worked. I really hope i dont need to reformat beause i don't have my iTunes library backed up (many many songs). So please, any help wanted!! Thank you!!

Is there a way to upgrade it? And if I don't want to do it myself is there a place where I can get it done plus a little repair.

I live in the San Francisco area, but I live in Davis for most of the year because I attend UC Davis. So any of these 2 places, thanks.

i have a dell inspiron m1505 laptop and a compaq fs7600 CRT moniter. I am trying to set up dual monitors and I cant seem to get it to work right. I plugged the compaq into my laptop, downloaded the drivers and set up the properties and options like I wanted it through windows properties, however the CRT moniter will not show anything on the screen. It has power and recognizes signal (little green light does come on) and I can move the mouse "over" to the other moniter, but the screen is blank. What am I doing wrong? Is there some special thing that I have to do to get it to work? It shouldnt be this hard. Im not going with a seperate projection screen, but and extended desktop scheme and I cannot for the life of me get it to work. Any ideas?

I'm talking about a computer monitor... would buying a regular square flat screen be silly if I can get a widescreen cheaper? And is Acer a good brand?
