the TSA agent "frisked me" and when he was done, put the wand near my laptop. I tried using it but noticed the charge was 0%! I plugged it into an outlet and it still worked. I hope the battery is still ok....it's charging right now. Would this have drained my battery and is the battery ok ya think?

Is there anything like a defrag for an iMAC? Was wondering if there was some routine maintenance that i should do to keep the computer running at its best.

I am building a computer and right now I have the Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3.0 ghz. I am going to be doing mostly video editing and 3D animating, but I also want to be able to play video games on close to maxed out settings. I have the GeForce 8800 GTS (640mb) and 4gb of Memory. Should I change my processor to the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4ghz and overclock it to 3.0ghz? Will I be able to play video games on really high settings? The computer isn't built yet.

Please give me feedback. I know the topic E6850 vs. Q6600 is very popular, but I would like your opinions based on my preferences.

If I were to get the Q6600, do you know where I could get one with the new G0 Stepping.

Also will the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro be able to handle the overclocked heat.

Thank you.

Im doing engineering physics hopefully branching out to nuclear engineering. Ive finished year one and my PC- Laptop crashed.
Now i need a new one and im keen on the macbook pro. I need a laptop for:
1- word/excel/powerpoint 2-messenger/chatting/ etc 3-internet/adobe reader/etc, 4-watching movies/music, 5-other university programs like Flexpde/autocad, etc that i may not know of
So the questions at last.
Should i go for a mac? Is it a hassel to divide and work on both OS's on a mac?Does mac meet my purpose or as an engineering student or should i stick to the PC? Or is this whole mac or PC thing is blown out of proportion and at the end both are good enough for my needs? I cant afford more laptops till i graduate university, so this choice will be my last and i dont mind spending big for the one last time. Please advise.im torn between going out and trying something new, fancy and promising or sticking to the world i know the best with its known ups and downs.Thanks in advace

I have a usb storage device which I have plugged into my computer. The light on the device comes on and I get the "Safely Remove Hardware" option on my desktop, however when I go to My Computer it does not appear - is there a reason why this would happen? Thanks

I'm at work trying to print a color flyer from Publisher. When I send multiple copies to the printer, it only prints one. The copier will print multiple copies of other things such as an Xcel spreadsheet but it's only when I send multiple copies from Microsoft Publisher that it will only print one at a time. I need to make several hundred of the flyers and sure don't want to hit print and enter, several hundred times! Any ideas? I have a call in to the copier company but would rather not wait on them! Thanks for any help!
