How accurate?
Wed, 30 Jul 2008 21:39:08 +0100
Trying to sort out a Dell Inspiron 1300 - have reinstalled XP Pro and am
trying to find the relevant drivers. The label on the back says Model (2
chinese characters) PP21L. Is this totally relevant or should I just look
for drivers for Inspiron 1300? The truth is after much searching I am having
no luck really ...

Father in law has a fairly elderly Compaq laptop running NT4. Has
anyone noticed NT support on any wireless PCMCIA/PC Card adapter? A
little googling while on the road hasn't led me anywhere yet.

Laptop HD ticking...
Tue, 29 Jul 2008 20:36:13 +0100
...like a timebomb?
My laptop HD is ticking, all the time, it sounds very much like a clock.
I guess this is a bad sign, is death imminent?
If so recommendations for a good reliable drive would be appreciated.
Nothing massive needed, anything 40+ would be OK.
Cheers,
Rick

Anyone used FreeNAS?
Mon, 28 Jul 2008 03:28:08 -0700 (PDT)
Hi All,
I want to play with mirroring fair chunk of data across town between
mine and a mate's house.
We're both on ADSL so our upstream speed's not brilliant, but
nevermind.
I was planning on setting up a FreeNAS box at one end, possibly
eventually at both, and filling it from the pile of hard disks I have
ly ...

"Older" scanner better than new!
Mon, 28 Jul 2008 01:00:03 +0100
Just an observation more than anything else, but when my "old"
parallel interface scanner packed up I replaced it with a Packard Bell
usb one that worked fine. However, with my old scanner I could use it
to scan decent pics of 3D objects. i.e. it was able to focus on parts
of an object a cm or so above the top of ...
