    Best Handheld Computer

    Ok thanks dude. Good advice. One question, can you charge 2 batteries simultaneously with the USB cradle? ie. charge one battery in the battery slot and the second through the Axim by putting the Axim in it's slot? I don't see anything about this in the manual.

    Best Handheld Computer

    Thanks for the help people. I ordered an Axim 30. As always I trust the people on this site, ever since I started building my first comp (like many here :)). How about the new Sandisk Ultra II SD cards. Any problems using these in the Axim 30 instead of the regular SanDisk SD cards? I was...

    Windows Defragmentation utility made my disk unuseable.

    No luck yet. No clear plan about swapping circuit boards, I'm leaning towards it's a stuck head problem rather than circuit board. I'm going to try freezing it next. Anybody here ever freeze a drive? Warnings or methodology suggestions? Have to get this data off of here.

    That's good to know but how about if you're grounded when you bang stuff.

    Windows Defragmentation utility made my disk unuseable.

    Well, in a perfect world everything is backed up but last I checked the world is not perfect so I think naturally and inevitably things go wrong and its' good to always develop ways of recovery. I'm not against backing up, of course. Just not sure if one should expect by default that every...

    What type of comp would you build with $6,000

    Hey, how are you doing? It's been a while since I've kept up with new technologies. I may or may not have 6k to spend in a little while (this year). What would a monster machine be by today's standards? Here are the specs for the last comp I built which was also the first one, not too old...

    Windows Defragmentation utility made my disk unuseable.

    I read about hitting/banging it from IT techs, based on the idea of dropping it. ~~ So what would you suggest I should try next? Baking it or freezing it. I just need a few minutes to get the data off. ~~ How did you ensure that IBM wiped the drive?

    Model: IBM DDYS-T18350 (18GB SCSI Ultrastar 36LZX) OS: WXP Pro Maybe you have heard this story before, but I really need some help. My OS drive crashed and there is some highly important data that needs to come off there. I ran the defrag utility, the comp froze so I hard booted with the...

    Hi, Anyone know a good site for good prices/service for digital voice recorders? I can't seem to find this model (Olympus DS-2200) for less than MSRP. If you can suggest any place, thanks. Bye

    Great color printer at decent price?

    Hi, how are you? DO you know what's a good printer? I have an old Epson Stylus Color II that's been without ink for about 3 years, thinking of selling it and getting something that can print photos as well as other color documents. I like not seeing the dots. I'm in NYC, some of these street...

    Great scanner $200?

    Hello, Are the good scanners these days from HP and Epson? My scanner is pretty old, so I'm out of date on the tech. The quality has to be good enough for some low end publishing, for around $200? Will be making custom DVD covers and scanning some artwork. So quality is main concern...
