Hardware - August 2006

Doesn't have to be high-quality, most things I print are going to be black&white, and I don't want to spend a lot initially or on refilling ink cartridges. Can you reccommend one?

My 11 year old son would like a laptop for Christmas. Due to his age, I hesitate to get him an expensive one. Dell and Gateway seem to be reasonable alternatives. If anyone has any input, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

Which of the two types of computers are more convinient? Which one will you choose and why? The laptop seems to be more convinient because you can carry it around. But I am trying to decide which one is better, other than the fact that the laptop can be carried around. Thanks for your input.

I am a decent computer technician, but no one has ever been able to train me on being able to get different brands of hard drives (especially older maxtors) to work on the same IDE cable as master/slave.
I look at the "legends" and sometimes, the only way to get the drive to be seen in BIOS (even when it's a stand alone) is to put the jumpers in a configuration that isn't on the legend at all.
As for the older Maxtors, there is no legend, just a pointer to something on the right side.
There seem to be theoretically 50 or more possible ways to put 2 jumpers and I've tried devoting hours to this to no avail.
Any tips or websites for this?
All the techs training me on this seem to have some inborn knowledge of where the jumpers should go. I can't think of any other explanation.
