I was thinking that buying a TV tuner and using it with my laptop would be a cheaper alternative to buying a television for college. If I have a TV tuner, do I still have to pay a monthly bill for cable or digital cable or whatever? Or do I just install the tuner and I can automatically watch TV?

Hi, i dont have one yet so cant tell you what type, but i will be buying a laptop (most likely a cheap old kind). I want to use wireless internet with it. If i buy a laptop without the network card, would i be able to easily install it. I have a little bit of computer knowlegde but not much. Is it easy to insert/install? Do all laptops have a hole for it to easily go in. Can you use them with laptops that have a low processor speed (eg.500mhz)? Do you have to buy specific cards for specific brands? What are some good features it has to have when i buy one. For example what does 54Mbps mean? Is that good? Thanks

I need to re-boot my laptop and loose all the data that I've put on it. I've done this before but it comes with all that other software that I dont really want. How can I re-boot my system and only have the OS on the system when I'm done? And maybe the Norton stuff too. Thanks!

My laptpo was on my bed, on, and plugged in. All of a sudden, my battery charger started maing this hissing noise. Then my computer screen turned white. I unplugged my charger from my computer when I started to smell burning plastic, or something that smells like it. I'm not sure if it came from my laptop or my battery charger. I just this charger too. Roughly a couple of months ago.
My laptop wasn't on my bed for that long, either. Possibly 10 minutes, or a little more. And I've had my computer on bed for alot longer than that before too in the past.
Now, about my charger...I plug it into the wall and everything seems to be working. A little green light comes on, to let me now it's powered up, but when I plug it into my computer, the green light dims and starts to flicker, and it starts making that noise again. Plus that burning smell comes back.
This happened about an hour ago, and I haven't been on my computer since. It's off. Does anyone know what's happening? Any ideas?

About a year ago, a lot of people were complaining about their new macbooks turning yellowish around the wrist rests, and peeling also. Do you know if this discolorationg problem has since been resolved by Apple in their newer macbooks?

The last few months I've heard nothing but great things about the iPhone... unfortunately I also heard nothing bad about MacBook Pro and I bought one which turned out to be a complete pile of sh!t -- we're talking absolutely ZERO ability to play games for $2500. Is the iPhone worth my $$ or just another scam?

I bought the MacBook Pro because Apple told me it would be better than a PC. They were completely full of sh!t and just fed me whatever bull they wanted to make a sale. The MacBook can't do ANYTHING. It works with virtually NO games. My neighbor bought himself a new HP laptop (same thickness as MacBook Pro) and he can do everything and MORE than my pile of hud can -- all at a fraction of the cost of what I paid!!! Seriously, why does Apple insist on screwing its customers?
