(Oh, and one more bit of praise for the MS set--I bought it in September, and I'm STILL running on the same set of AA batteries!)

Damn son lol. you must not game much. I replace mine every two months or so. Even then they last a while and i have a box of rechargables for my keyboards. Nothing like the freedom of wireless :p

What makes Logitech better?

It's not that Microsoft is bad. They have nice innovative designs and #1 tech support.

But

Logitech products, although more expensive, have higher quality builds and have features not offered by microsoft. Their tech support is pretty damn good too.

A standard Intellimouse Explorer 4.0 retails for $28, while an mx510 goes for $48.

The mx510 is much more accurate and responds to acceleration better. It also has handy cruise control buttons (you may not like them, but I do!).

If you don't believe me, go to futureshop and try both. You will see then.

I love the external keyboard.  If there's one thing Microsoft does well, it's make keyboards and mice.  I was always a Logitech fan until I got this set, but this made me a believer!

It also helps that the keyboard has a "natural" shape to it.  I do a LOT of typing.

I bought my mx duo in the october of 2003, and im using the same batteries in the keyboard.

The mouse needs to be charged every 2 days, so I just put it in the cradle before i go to sleep.

The mx duo is outdated now, thus you can find it for cheap. I highly recommend it.

Where did you get that sweet clock ????

Why do people keep quoting images? I have broadband, so it doesn't load slowly for me, but it's annoying.

It's from Radio Shack. :p

I've had it for quite a few years now, so I don't know if they still sell them or not.

why'd they change it?

I'd speculate they never re-enabled it. Thats a guess.

Check your user preferences. If you aren't logged on it only shows the image link, so I'm guessing its a setting that can be selected.

err, sorry.

how do you quote more than one person though?

[Joseph B]

Well, I was looking at my old HP 466 MHz Celeron today, and realized I could sell it. Popped it open began taking off heatsink, removing things etc. Then I realized "Hey I wonder if could fit this mini atx in my old case." And yeah, it did surprisingly HP was not as proprietary as I originally took them as. So now my plan is, just get some cheap pc100 256, throw in it there. Along with a new heatsink for the celeron, and a new powersupply (powersupply will not fit at all in old Raidmax case), then put in my 2nd 40 gig HDD. Nothing big, just a downloading machine to sit next to my main rig. :D

Edit: Threw in my old GeForce 4 MX 420. :laugh:

I need to buy a stereo for my tv too.

my tv says that it has SRS, but what does that mean?

[.weir]

SRS is a Surround Sound format-y sorta thing :p

SRS Labs

[IK47]

well, if my tv has SRS, does that mean that it converts everything inputed into surround?

does this mean that my tv has surround speakers?

I have a toshiba 26" widescreen HD crt television

[Raikou Tch]

SRS is a type of fake surround sound for dual speakers and headphones that is supposed to trick your ears/brain into thinking sound is coming from all/most directions. It works on headphones especially well.

cool

does ipod have this?

[.weir]

i may have the same tv as you, if you go in the menu, and set the audio to surround, and enable bbe, it does make a very noticable difference (in particular in dvd's)

Supposedly that's what the SRS does, don't think an ipod has it
