    Crazy Laptop Screen

    I have a t60 14.1" SXGA+ screen that is going crazy on me. I am not even certain how to describe it so that I can find the solution via google or forum searches. YouTube Vid The color seems to fade in and out. If I grab the screen by the top two corners and press away with my thumbs...

    Interesting Drive Problem

    Yup, I tried alternate IDE cables and placing the drive back in. Ideally instead of throwing good money away I would figure out what is wrong and fix it. IDE drives may be inexpensive, but they certainly aren't free.

    I feel dumb but...

    You can help make longhorn better!

    I don't even own a floppy drive anymore. This ancient device is on its way out the door. Why MS would choose to require having one mystifies me :confused:. Last time I loaded XP I borrowed my roommates floppy to get the sata drivers loaded. Please add usb/cd-rom support!

    Doom 3 will require

    I would bet that Carmack's machine is nowhere near as fast as his. For this simple reason: he is doing work and NOT playing games. I would bet that he has a Dell workstation with dual cpu's, a boatload of ram, and whatever the fastest production video card currently available is. He probably...
