Remember not so long ago PCs were IBMs mostly and if not, they were IBM clones?
Do you feel like nowadays they are not so much "PCs" (along with macs as two separates) but as Windows based machines?
As microsoft taken over for IBM in term of computer familiarity to customers?

I remember that there was an episode of Mythbusters where they were trying to see if thunderstorms could severely damage home appliances (like microwaves and computers), and they found that most of them (including the test computer) were not damaged in the testing. So why should I unplug my computer anyway? Thanks, your answers are very much appreciated!

I know that if I format my Laptop it'll return to the way it was when I got it, but, all the guides I've read about this tell me I need my Activation Key and Windows Xp Installation CD, the problem is I don't have any of those things cause Xp came installed on my Laptop. What do I do?

I have a dell b130 inspiron notebook with a 40 gb hard drive, 512 mb of ram, a 1.60 GHz processor and windows xp home edition. i keed running into the problem with randomly losing hard drive space. I have about 33 gb usable on the hard drive and only enough stuff on it to use up about 13 gb, so i should have about 20 gb free. the thing is, i dont. I had this problem about 2 weeks ago, so i backed up all my important files, and did a full system restore to put it back to factory settings. everything was fine until today when i looked at it, it says that i have only about 6 gb free when like i said earlier, i should have about 20 free. does anyone know what might be causing this?

I was wondering if there are some settings that should definitely be enabled, to get better performance out of my system. Or, if no one is familiar with this chipset, then if someone could suggest a guide, I'd be appreciative. Thanks!

i am interesting in these 2 notebooks brand but i could not decide on the graphic cards and the quality of these brand names. actually, the sony laptop comes with GMA x3100 358MB, and HP comes with NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 UMA, Shared 128MB. i am a mid-gamer that don't require powerful graphic card, i am playing some games like counter striker 2, doom 3, or sims 2 something like that. but i am also wonder about the internal and external built quality about these 2 brands, which one is better? and which wireless connection is faster? thank u so much!

I have always been able to place my cursor in the lower right corner of screen on the time, and the date would appear. For instance, place cursor on 9:30 a.m, and above it would appear the date, June 23. Now, I can just barely see the top of it, not near enought to see the date. How do I fix this? I have WindowsXP.
