The mac stores are telling me that I can't upgrade the os, It currintly runs Panther has 800mhz 640 ram. Any suggestions. Would like to upgrade rather than buy a new one, seems such a waste.

]]> Comment on Lighting review of the Acer Aspire X3200 mini-desktop (Verdict: a fine beginner’s HTPC) by halfskip http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2008/09/23/lighting-review-of-t.html#comment-637496 halfskip Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-637496 I bought the silver version of this computer in new zealand from warehouse stationary. It has been slow from day one! I got a friend who knows a bit about computers to have a look at it, they managed to speed it up marginally by turning off the special effects on vista home basic, or something. Even so, when you open a window there is a 5 to 10 second delay before anything happens; very annoying! I've been using it like this for a year now, its bearable but I'm thinking of replacing it shortly. The monitor is great so I'm going to try and replace just the computer. However, it has unusual plugs on the cables connecting it to the computer, so it may not be possible. One thing is for certain, I won't be buying anymore acer products!

This is licensed spectrum we are talking about, here. Seriously, folks, they are not calling it "pirate" because it is legal. If you have a lot to lose, don't do this. FCC "forfeiture" is typically $7500 and up. I was looking for the page in the instructables on finding a lawyer after the FCC raids you. This is licensed spectrum we are talking about, here.

I have been recommending them for two years and have not had one case of non performance. Skeptic no longer, and no, I don't sell them for you skeptics. lol Funny,

]]> Comment on Tick Removers: Which Do You Use? by geeb http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2009/06/23/tick-removers-which.html#comment-633731 geeb Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-633731 Best and Safest Tick remover is the Scientifically proven Trix Tick Remover, found on Ebay with all the other inferior ones. The Trix has been tested and is produced in Sweden, imported to the US.It removes the entire Tick, not just the body.You never want to leave a Tick head embedded, it spews out all the bad stuff and can really cause some serious health problems. See a video at www.tickremover.com. I've used it and it is easier than I thought it would be, weighs less than an ounce and looks like a Pen. It's Great to take on a trip in the woods, hunting etc. Under $10 on Ebay!!
