The reason you were charged $.01 is because the piece of crap register system can't charge $.00 for anything, and they need to ring it out for inventory reasons.
Yeah, I have that piece of crap one-way cable stuff. It's absolutely horrible. Plus HSA has no customer service whatsoever, and their DNS servers are out half the time (had to set up my own). And it costs frickin $50 a month.
None for me.
Then again my ISP seems to block port 80 inbound...

It's easy... if someone's spamming you, they have to have some way for you to give them money. Otherwise the spam is pointless. Just follow that and find them.
Holy jesus, what store was this at? I just might have them shot.
I personally work at the CompUSA in Columbia, Maryland. I'm not an idiot (well, not often) and I don't think we have any idiots working at that particular store.
I tried out mandrake 7.2 just after it was released. It required 2.5 Gb. That's a lot. I'have no idea what they include in their distribution to get to that number but it is almost certain I won't ever use 95 % of it.
What are you talking about? Mandrake 7.2 on my laptop takes up about 700-800 MB or so, with all the pretty desktop stuff. And I installed it on my server, which had a 200MB hard drive, without any X Windows or anything.
Frankly, I've got a shiny new Duron box which just kicks royal tush running OpenBSD as my file/samba/X/firewall/nat/nfs/imap/smtp/nntp server. And best part, even with a killer graphics card, large hard drive, the thing only cost me $1300 CAD.
I have a shiny new Pentium 200 MMX system doing samba/nat/imap/smtp/http/dns/webmail server duties, running Linux (and Win98, for when I have to call my ISP and yell at them). The whole thing was made out of spare parts. I paid $30 for the case, and $1 for the penguin sticker. One 8GB hard drive came out of my old system, the other out of my brother's. The CPU/mobo I got from a friend. Also found a completely unnecessary CD-RW drive, just for fun. Won't run quite as well as your $850 system, but it does its job.
(Yes, the DNS is necessary. My ISP's DNS machines are out about 20% of the time.)
Now if only they could do this for working public phone booths...
Uh... if you have internet access, what exactly would you need a public phone booth for? I mean, I barely use my phone anymore, I make calls over the Internet... I dunno, maybe it would be more useful in Australia than here:-)
everyone else selling PC's around me weren't ethical. One reason I got OUT of sales, and deleted my sales experience from my resume so no prospective employers would try to get me into sales instead of technical.
Heh, okay, as long as you're not serious. Jokes are fine:-)
That's pretty much the situation I'm in right now, I'm stuck in sales until someone in tech services quits/gets fired/has an unfortunate "accident"...
This is a store a lot like a CompUSA (sizewise). They will only get six from Sony???.
Each CompUSA store actually only got 15 (only sold 14). We haven't gotten any more since - stores like Toys R Us and Best Buy are generally getting more.

What, there's something wrong with no-name boxes? Personally I think they're better than most brand-names.

Actually it's closer to them walling off their parking lot... since MSN owns their servers...
Seems like this person's actually talking about Episode 4...
More like every couple months or whenever Caesar feels like it. For more current advice check out our CPU & Motherboard Technologica forum.

Even better idea: Fly a model airplane across the Atlantic powered by a hamster on a wheel.
Dude, I posted that to rec.humor.funny a while ago. ;-)
Works for me... recompiled 2.4.1 on a KT7, with a WD 27.3GB drive...
Yes... and I can probably assume that I'm the only Ravens fan here :-)

I've actually had Mandrake crash more than Windows 2000 on me in the past month, for the following two reasons:
1. I installed Mandrake on two computers with severe hardware problems.
2. I don't have Windows 2000.
That's pretty much the situation I'm in right now, I'm stuck in sales until someone in tech services quits/gets fired/has an unfortunate "accident"...
