$8000 for the HP Storageworks San kit

"The 8Gb Simple SAN Connection Kit consists of an enterprise-class 8 Gbps switch, four 81Q HBAs, and SSCM - along with all the cables, 8 Gbps SFPs and documentation you need.

I did see one for $2000, which is what we were going to buy at one point, but I can't find the link. It wasn't an 8Gb san though! I have found a £2000 HP switch

Ok, I'm not going to have one at home, but if you're buying all the discs you need, another $8k is not much.

You get an optimum resolution on CRT as well, doesn't mean you are "stuck" with it.

Not all USB->BT adapters are equal! You have to get an adapter that supports the headset profile. I used a dlink DBT122. Some adapters support only the mic or headphone profile, and that won't get you far. Your average salesman in the store won't know and likely sell you the wrong adapter (stores usually stock the cheapest of the breed).

Otherwise, yes. Use it with your cellphone. Use it with Skype. Use it with teamspeak. Walk around the house and answer incoming voip calls with it. I mean, if you already have the device, I say go for it. If not, I still suggest using a wired headset... it just works better.

The article reviews BT headsets, and most people believe that these suckers are for cellphones only and thus we should restrict this conversation to cellphone usage only. I don't consider it off-topic to discuss these devices and their use with computers ~ this is slashdot!! Another post recently added something I didn't know: there are better drivers ~ but then the applications are next up the chain to screw things up (by now allowing the user to specify the sound device).

Anything like this You can search on all kinds of extensive fields, which is rather handy. I don't know of a non-UK one though.

Ok.

1. Dell and Dell

2. HP

And if you want "shops" that sell Linux systems: Try here

Obviously a quick google will find even more!

The problem is that people think a "pc" is "windows". They simply don't know any better. Sure, the thing becomes trashed by spyware and viruses within hours and thats when the go and see "the guy who knows about computers". By then of course, they have already spent their money and may or may not take Microsoft Windows back to the shop as "not fit for purpose". They can't see that the TCO for a Microsoft Windows system is a lot higher than the alternatives.

Best discount I found:

Nomad Zen NX [not a commission link]

50% more storage than the 20GB iPod, at 2/3 of the price. There's a 60GB version, at less than the cost of a 30Gb iPod.

It's got replaceable batteries, and unlike the iPod, you don't have to remortgage your house to buy a replacement battery. 14 hour claimed battery life. (that's between charges, not 14 hours until you need a new one ;-)

It's got a big-screen, it's small, light, has a charger. No GNU support. No OGG. No remote control.

I'll be able to apply the "adult patch" to Equestriad 2001 and have the race mares rise their tails and wink at you after winning the race!
