Can I copy music from a CD from the library onto my computer (Windows Media Player) as long as I don't copy it onto a CD or distibute it? Also, can I copy music from a CD I own onto the computer, once again as long as I don't share it or make it into another CD?

Are either of these illegal?

OR

2. The desktop PC with a slower processor (Intel Pentium 4, 2.40 GHz), but a high-range video card (GeForce 8600 GT, 22.4 GB/sec)

HI, I want to upgrade my computer for FS2004 and I want to know if a 3.0-3.6ghz Pentium 4 processor with hyper threading, 1gb ram and a XFX Geforce 6600gt will handle Microsoft flight Sim 2004 on higher graphics settings with smooth gameplay? Should I even bother trying FSX because I have heard it has very bad FPS even on $3000+ systems.

When I go into a chat room it's very slow, is there a fix for it? I have a G5 quad core with 4GB of ram and 5 raptor X hard drives, so speed is not an issue.

I bought a $500 Acer computer package from Wal-Mart.

The LCD widescreen monitor (LCD 17" AL1702WVB 8MS 500:1 MPRII) that came with it was sent back because it had a green line, 1 pixel wide, running from the top, to the bottom of the screen.

Today I get a package from Acer. It is a completely new monitor. This one however is noT the same. It is not widescreen. It is a LCD 17" AL1717 FPDB 5MS 700:1 VGA & DVI MM TCO03. Note, the item # says "700:1" and the box says "800:1"

This new monitor does have some nicer specs obviously but I did like the widescreen. Also, this one has internal speaks, which is cool but the sound quality is kind of poor.

Should I call and complain? Should I stick with what I have?

I just bought a Hannspree New York 19" monitor and I've noticed that some lines of text are blurry; when I scroll up and down the blur moves to the next line.

I'm using a VGA cable at the moment (I intend to buy a DVI cable on the weekend) but I didn't have this problem on my old 15" monitor. Or could it be a problem with my NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE graphics card?

It was my understanding that when it was still Time Warner, if you only paid for the high speed cable internet you would still also get the basic cable channels from the wall.

Comcast charges around $43 for internet and another $50 for tv, unless you get the 3 for $99 promo. My thing is, I'm not that interested in all the HD channels or other premiere channels. And I'm definitely not interested in a home telephone, since I only need my cell. I'll probably end up getting internet cable regardless, but I was wondering if I would also get any tv channels w/o forking over the extra dough.

I have a 27" lcd monitor/tv that was struck by lightning. The only signal that seems to be affected is the vga input. All other opearations seem to work OK. I believe I can hook up a cable that has vga/dvi on one end and hdmi on the other, or at least vga to component video? Any suggestions?
