Original Desmond — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 09:54:51 GMT

I know the only one in my city closed over a decade ago, maybe longer

Do you have any where you live ?

Looks like it's time for a new PC...ideas?

nickdawgy — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:54:13 GMT

So I have a PC that I built like 3 years ago. I think it only has 2gigs of RAM, a low end video card (GeForce 8800 I believe), and a 250gig hard drive. I also have 2 DVD-RW's (which is pointless) and Windows XP Pro.

I just got a new 20 inch HD monitor that was actually bigger than my old one :lol: so I have been using this PC alot. I was thinking of getting Windows 7, but before dropping close to $200 on it, I figured why not upgrade all the way?

Now my main question is, should I just buy a new mobo, video card, RAM, and maybe a blu-ray drive? Or should I buy a new PC from Dell, HP, etc?

I'm looking to spend under say $600 if possible. I don't need a top of the line video card, my old hard drive is fine (250gigs is overkill as it is), and I am thinking maybe 4-6 gis of RAM is fine.

I sometimes play WoW on this PC, but no hardcore graphic intense games or anything. The Sims 3 was probably the most demanding and that ran fine.

I am not even sure how much Blu-Ray drives are. I know the whole $600 limit is probably wishful thinking, but I figured what the hell.

So enlighten me.

EDIT: I forgot to add the processor is nothing special either. Just a C2D 4300.

Quick question about refusing Amazon shipment

kevin75 — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:39:06 GMT

I received the UCE Gone With the Wind that I was not able to cancel before it shipped out. If I mark "REFUSED-Return to Sender" on it, will it go back without return shipping charges being taken out? I want to get a full refund and from what I've read, this seems to be the easiest way, I think.

Thanks.

Blind Side - Sandra Bullock

JimRochester — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:12:17 GMT

I did a search and nothing came up. If there is another thread please merge.

I saw this tonight and was very entertained. As you might expect from a feel good stroy, there were definite tear jerker or sentimental moments that felt a bit forced or manufactured. However overall I felt the movie was a success and worth the price of admission. I give it a B. Sandra Bullocks performance was excellent. Of course I'm in love with her anyway.

The Yardbirds

statcat — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:26:11 GMT

Any yardbirds fans around? I always see them mentioned but just as a footnote to Clapton, Beck, and Page. They have been one of my favorite bands for a long time but seem to be overshadowed by their famous members and of course Led Zeppelin which has little to do with them anyway besides Page, the yardbirds name they dropped, and a couple of songs like dazed and confused and knowing I'm losing you (which became Tangerine)

Speaking of Knowing I'm Losing You it wasn't really out there until a few years ago. I had a few people tell me I was crazy it even existed.

couple of my yardbirds favorites:

I'm Not Talking, Shapes of Things, Think About It, Mister You're a Better Man Than I, Only the Black Rose, Happenings Ten Years Time Ago, Turn into Earth, He's Always There etc etc

Strange uploading question.

Monica Clinton — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:50:44 GMT

First off I'm using Windows Vista w/both service packs 32 bit operating system.

When I use the photo uploader for facebook it shows folders that I downloaded and have deleted months ago as being on my desktop.
Is there a way of deleting stuff on desktop path that appears on these uploaders? I can post a screen shot if anyone needs it.

Thanks

Tech question by a newbie

habanero — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:15:57 GMT

Hi everyone,

I�ve just arrived in the US (I�m from Germany) and I�m planning to buy a new hd tv-set and a new dvd player (maybe blu-ray).
And here is where my problem starts.
Right now I�m owning a multi-norm crt tv and a dvd player (no HDMI output), which has been set up to be code free. I do also own about 380 dvds about half of which were bought during my last 3 year stint in the US. The rest was bought back home in Germany.
With this setup (TV-Set & DVD-Player) I can watch all my dvds regardless of regional code and TV-Norm (NTSC= USA; PAL= Germany). How can I translate this into the new technologie ( LCD/Plasma HD TV - (Blu-Ray) DVD).
Do I have to get a multinorm HD TV-Set (expensive) or are there workarounds?
My intention is to take the TV-Set and the dvd-player back to Germany.
Input voltage isn�t an issue, because I also own voltage transformers which worked well in the past.

Are there suggestions how to tackle this ?

Thx in advance

Regards

Torsten

Question About Apple TV

The Monkees — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:05:25 GMT

With Apple TV you can access and download stuff from iTunes, correct? I believe I also read you can access your Movies folder from your Mac computer, is this correct?

Sony BDP-S360 audio problem?

dvd-4-life — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:03:58 GMT

I started playing a dvd movie and the coaxial line is connected from the player to the receiver and it won't play Dolby Digital 3/2 only PCM 48. Would an optical line make any difference?
