First time buying an LCD, it's 20", viewsonic.
My concern is that when looking from different angles, the brightness changes (quite) and it's almost like I have to be at a straight angle to get a "normal" look. Is that normal for LCd's? or should I look into replacing this one with a higher end? thanks!

I play World of Warcraft and use ventrilo at the same time. My computer is connected to a router.

I just bought a new eMachines T5212 (Processor: Intel Pentium D 805 2.66 GHz, RAM: 1 GB 533 MHz DIMM 240-pin DDR II SDRAM, Video: Nvidia 7600 GS, Hard drive: 200 GB 7200 rpm, Network Adapter: Integrated ) last year and around the same time, I needed to reset my router (bought in 98).

Since then, my computer has been making WoW lag up and ventrilo will disconnect every now and then. I don't hear anyone talking for a little while and then I will hit my "push to talk" key and it will disconnect me.

I have tried switching out my network card in my PC thinking it may have been faulty, but it still does the same thing.

I never had this problem with my old computer so I'm confused as to what the problem is. I'm considering buying a new router, but I want opinions first.

I bought a laserjet 1000 printer and got a C7115A black cartridge with it. it was written that the cartridge would print 2500 pages but the one which came with the printer is over by round about 500 pages. one of my friends told me that the tonner which comes with the printer is a sample it wont last long. So i just want to verify this is the tonner cartridge i got with the printer a sample???...
