We have an HP260 color copier in our office (circa '99 or so). It just died last week and I need to find a replacement. This copier stays in another room (where our regular copy machine is) and is not connected to my computer or networked. We use this machine for copying photos/enlargements and copying color pages. I have been looking at the Canon PIXMA MP800, MP830 and MP950 as replacements but none of these machines mention working without being connected to a PC? Can anyone tell me if they will work as a replacement? Or maybe have another replacement suggestion?? Thanks in advance.

Now large companies like dell will send parts and let you replace them without voiding the warranty. I want to know the first computer that hardware replacement, (Hard drives,Video cards, Processors, etc.) ,were an easy and even recommended task for the average consumer.

If I transfer all of my music and video docs (about 12 gigs) to a portable USB hard drive, and delete them off my computer, will it make it faster? Also, what if I back up ALL of my important files and bookmarks etc, and restart the whole system and start over from scratch?

"Seagate Momentus™ Series External Mobile 2.5" and a "Seagate Barracuda™ Series External 3.5". I know the former says it's portable and the latter one says isn't, but is it possible that i can take the latter external hard drive, go over to my friend's pc and download stuff from his pc into my external hard drive, go back to my pc and download stuff on my external hard drive back to my hard drive on my pc? Can I do that with both types of external hard drive?

I'm trying to find a new desktop. It needs to be compatable with my mp3 player. My mp3 player requirements are

Microsoft® Windows® XP (Service Pack 1 or higher) / XP 64-bit
Intel® Pentium® II 350 MHz or AMD K6-2® 450 MHz (Pentium III 450 MHz or higher recommended for MP3 encoding)
64MB RAM (128MB recommended)
USB 1.1 port (USB 2.0 recommended for faster transfers)
170MB free hard drive space (more for audio content storage)
CD-ROM drive with digital audio extraction support

I have no idea what all of this means. Do most new computers have these components? I can only spend about $600-$700. Any suggestions,help or info will be greatly appreciated. thanks

I was then converting songs in my itunes library to mp3 when I tried to access my recycle bin from desktop. The usual screen popped up for a second, then the 'error report' box appeared. I sent an error report, but have got no reply. Can anyone help PLEASE!! (Please explain your answers very basically, as I am not a computer whizz!!) THANKS.

I am planning on buying a new laptop soon and would like to know what the difference is between the different processors. I don't need to know about all of them...maybe just the more popular ones. Which one would be recommended for a college student? I mostly use my laptop for word processing, surfing the internet, chatting, watching DVDs, etc.

Also, what do the processor speeds mean? What speed would be sufficient for a college student?

I have just installed a backup hard drive into my new HP Pavilion a1532n computer. To gain clearance to install the hard drive, I unbolted the 4 captive bolts and moved the main fan aside. (there are two fans in rhe system. After the drive installation, I rebolted the fan. It is very noisy. the bolts threaded easily into the threaded holes on the computer wall. Did I tighten them too much? The wires are back where they were before I began the installation.
Any suggestions on how to quiet a very noisy fan?
If you do not know the answer but need the 2 points say hello. Serious suggestions please.
Thanks everyone.
