My daughter will be Graphic Design major and needs a mac. I don't want the Apple Store salesman to tell me what I need, so I'm coming to you! Also, will her Mac work on our existing wireless network (windows?) What about her printer?

Since my laptop is my lifeline and I am no nerd, I was wondering if installing genuine OS, genuine anti virus (want to know which is a good one) and other maintenance software is necessary? So many of my friends think I am being overcautious... all I want is to have my new laptop (IBM) purring like a Ferrari! Sincerely appreciate good, detailed advice.

I just got the Dell C521. It has a 285W Power supply. Well I just got a 300W Chaintech 7300GS Video card. On the Dell Forum's they say that 300W cards work because Dell rates their power differently then other companies, its a safety measure on their part. What do you all think?

I have a PC tower that I currently use. However, I am looking to get an iMac G5 in the future. I still want to use my PC at times, so is it possible to plug my PC into the iMac and use it as a monitor when required?

Hello, I am working on a computer and the owner of the computer has a strange problem. The vertical sides of the viewing screen are somewhat curved in. This only happens on one of the two computers she has. This monitor does not have a control for that, atleast I didn't find it. Does anyone have an idea on what to do?

We have rights as Americans against searches.

Many stores now are checking OUR property as we leave. Once it's paid for it's ours. Period.

It's not mandatory, and I've refused several times just to be slightly chased with a "SIR SIR!!!" but I ignore and go to my car.

I honestly think people are giving up freedom and giving into corporate law.

I'd rather pay a bit more than to per se, "give up my rights".

It's an outrage to me.... Even though it's something so small... I think of the American men who died and had families weep and mourn over them in the American Revolution to give us these rights just to have stores think they can take them away just because something is not in a bag.

I'm very pissed off and I'm about to start confronting managers.

Ive become an expert computer wrecker. After messing up some other files-n-stuff on my computer I choose to use the disk that came with my computer to fix things. It worked great for the problems I was having before but now I have no sound. I did this once before a long time ago and have forgotten how to fix it.
