    Taking Wikipedia With Me

    This is just an idea. For example, if someone wanted to make an extensive encyclopedia for an organisation's use. How much memory would be needed to build it. Granted, it would be on a 70% text layout, very much like Wikipedia.

    Taking Wikipedia With Me

    Cooling Help!!

    Wow, I haven't been here for a while. I'm 75% finished building my computer (specs below) and I just noticed that there are no holes to mount the fans on. Is it safe to drill the holes myself while all the components are still in there?

    Challange Thread

    There are ways of uninstalling and removing WMP but you'd need some pretty complex software (that wouldn't affect the OS).

    difference between XP Pro and XP 64?

    If your still planning to get the 64 bit version, just make sure that you have the right driver (saying that, make sure the compatiblity is good enough). I doubt very much that the common user will find any difference between the two.

    itunes with ipod

    Make sure that both computers are authorised. If the machine that you are trying to play M4P (or MP4) files on is not an authorised machine then they won't play, I don't think it will even register with the file that iTunes is installed on that machine.

    PC "noob" quotes

    I was doing systems analysis as a part of my course once and there where some really computer-phobic people out there. User: Hi, my printer won't print. Support Centre: Yeah, maybe they're not connected. User: Oh, they are, I've faced my monitor towards the printer. Unbelievable.
