<0> wow this BISO is the ****s
<1> rofl
<2> hahaha
<1> dell is fast?
<1> apple is cool?
<2> hahah
<1> sony is expensive though
<2> ahah
<2> and the sidebar:
<2> "WIN OUR CUSTOM LEGO PC! For more details, see page 99"
<1> lemme guess, its an ad for Alienware
<1> alienware is complete GARBAGE
<2> no, they probably explain you need a mobo, cpu, psu, ram, case etc
<0> is there any chance that if i downgrade to windows 98 that it might work
<2> alienware is complete garbage
<0> or am i SOL
<2> macman|G4 - "downgrade" = format, reinstall.
<1> lol
<0> nerp: yes
<2> there is now "downgrade" procedure, in case you knew that
<2> didn't know that i mean
<2> s/now/no
<1> nerp i cant stand how much idiots believe that alienware PC's are top of the line
<1> hell, i have seen the 400$ dells with better hardware than a 1400$ alienware
<2> pingwho - same people probable have their computer hooked up to a bose wave radio
<1> lol
<0> isn't Bill Gates a fan of alienware
<1> no hes a fan of himself
<2> macman - that's like saying your next door neighbor is a fan of American Idol.
<3> macman|G4: you may format and install 98 and it may work, or it may not, the problem is more likely a very real hardware problem or conflict
<2> doesn't mean its any good. :D
<1> i betcha bill gates is pwning everyone on XBOX Live with his XBOX 540
<3> so 98 won't have any better chance of making it work
<1> macman|G4 try flashing your BIOS :S
<0> Jet: is there anything else i can do with in windows that might fix it
<3> macman|G4: no, becaues the problem most likely isn't in windows
<0> pingwho: not a chance in hell
<3> Windows can't make hardware that isn't working work
<0> it can make it not work
<0> lol
<3> ya,that's hilarious
<2> well the user always can make hardware not work.
<1> lol
<0> thats even more ture
<0> true*
<3> macman|G4: have you reset the bios to setup defaults?
<1> Jet hes too afraid too
<0> that option isn't there
<0> there is like no options
<3> when you removed the driver and rebooted and did it redetect the com port
<0> for the most part
<0> yes
<1> Jet what happened to him, from the beginning
<0> the ! came back
<0> pingwho: there is something wrong with a COM port
<1> oh
<3> the com port is either a) broken or b) misconfigured
<1> what are you trying to install on the COM port
<3> or c) there could be a hardware conflict
<3> pingwho: he removed a ! driver for the com port, rebooted, it detected the com port, installed the driver and it has a ! besdie it
<0> pingwho: trying to configure a Cisco Router and i don't want to have to take it off the rack
<1> oh
<2> wow pc magazine shure has gone from a thick, heavy magazine full of some halfway decent content and analysis to a case modder "wow this is a kool gade" feature. :(
<1> **** im not a ciscoite
<4> 'ciscoite'
<1> lol
<2> what ****s about being a ciscoite are the pirouettes
<1> lol
<2> dang, I ordered ink carts, they sent em usps, got here faster than ups ground would have. like, 2 days from calfornia.
<1> heh
<1> UPS is retarded
<1> honestly
<2> free
<1> i ordered 2 things from newegg, one with UPS the other with FedEx
<1> the FedEx came on time, the UPS came a week late.
<2> everyone bitches about epsons' print heads clogging all the time.
<2> mine, I dug it out of a closet more than 9 months after I had chucked it
<1> :S i have an epson stylus CS5400
<2> one cleaning cycle and it's good to go.
<1> CX5400*
<2> !google eposn cx5400
<5> http://www.pimmitshopping.com/148374005033.htm
<2> I have an old stylus photo 820
<2> it prints very well.
<1> yeh
<6> I just got a canon i9900, WAY nicer than my Epson Photo
<1> :S
<2> i have to use the epson premium glossy photo paper tho
<6> I had a 825 last, I think, and a 740 before that
<7> i have my new server.. =)
<7> moment of truth -- does it work? :)
<6> nerp; the costco house brand photo paper is actually Ilford Professional Glossy, it works great with Epson or Canon
<8> No.
<7> imma fed-ex it to xtr
<8> k.
<6> "Kirkand", thats it.
<1> im going to fedex a kitten to PETA
<1> i wonder how they are going to bitch about that.
<2> no.
<2> fedex them a starving african child.
<1> why not
<2> with AIDS
<1> good idea
<1> from Ethiopia or Rwanda?
<8> From NY.
<2> peerce - your printer is like, $400.
<2> I'd expect it to whoop mine's ***
<1> no u
<0> Jet: if i where to buy a USB to COM box would there still be a possibility that it wouldn't work
<6> nerp; well, tahts cuz its a 13" carriage. the 13" wide epsons (2400N, etc) are in the same price range
<3> macman|G4: no, if the usb port is working, then usb to com would work just fine
<3> because its a usb device, not a com port
<0> ok
<0> i tested the USB port and it works
<0> thanks for your help
<2> Epsons make a whisshing noise when you fire em up while cannons make a growlin
<6> this canon is a lot faster *and* quieter at its head clean and self test than my epsons EVER were, and its WAY faster printing photo quality
<2> I remember the computer labs in high school when all schools really used were dot matrix printers
<6> full 8.5x11" 'bleed' takes 45-50 seconds at top quality
<2> that was a deafening place
<6> nerp; we had old fashion line printers in school. talk about loud
<6> get a chain printer doing 15 page/minute, phew.
<6> deafening
<2> no kiddin man. :D
<1> oh gee
<1> z
<1> Dot Matrix
<6> 66 lines per page, so thats, um, nearly 1000 LPM
<1> havent seen those in a while.
<2> as a kid i'd venture into post offices and other places with my parents and witness some of that stuff when it was still in its heydey
<6> about 16 lines a second.
<2> some of the industrial dot matrix printers were incredible
<2> there are some models still being made actually for their workhorse nature
<2> cheap
<2> like, a ribbon can be reused a bit.
<6> I remember those Printronix brand dot matrix printers that printed a whole line at a time. they had a vibrating row of 132 dots that swept each character cell of the line at once (one dot per character position)
<1> http://www.latimes.com/media/photo/2006-01/21642841.jpg
<6> the local auto parts place still uses TI dot matrix printers for receipts, I forget the model.
<6> ti810 or something
<3> there are some environments where laser and inkjet printers are impractical
<6> yeah, carbons
<2> like treasury dept printing tax refund checks
<2> :D
<3> I was thinking dusty grain elevators
<2> rows and rows of checks all day long. . . dot matrix sounds most economically sensible way to do it
<2> jet true.
<1> what is google?
<1> i hear it alot
<3> although most of our grain elevator offices are no longer dusty
<6> actually, most check printers are laser
