E Man

Hi,
I've been looking for some help on this issue, and you all are a pretty knowledgeable pack. ;) Does anyone know where there might be a forum for e-commerce related topics? I'm conducting research on e-commerce (trends, pros & cons, core concepts) and I'd like to find a place to get a few ...

E Man

Like they say, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Free expensive electronics? Definitely not.

E Man

Just for fair warning, pretending to be a supplier or pretending to be interested in purchasing large quantities is considered fraud, and I do believe such misrepresentation of oneself is illegal.

I'm not here to "police" anybody, but I just want to make sure that if you're going to do this, be ...

E Man

Thanks for the help, I'm downloading SpyBot right now. Aside from all this, I have a general question....unless you're working with top secret information or doing something really illegal, what's the big deal with spyware? What kind of negative impact could it really have?

(Note: I know close to ...

E Man

Ack, my bad, forgot that you previously wrote that.

What can I do to remove it then?

E Man

In my years of internet usage, I can't say I've ever really gotten a virus. I guess it's just a matter of being careful.

As for the "28,000 files", it's probably a bug...I'm only sharing my music folder.

And if I'm using KaZaA Lite, I shouldn't need to worry too much about spyware, should i?

E Man

Well, I deleted KaZaA and downloaded Kazaa Lite. It appears to run smoother.

I have another question now...How important is "participation level?" It says I'm sharing 28,000 files, yet no one is downloading from me, thus my participation level is slowly declining to 0.

To respond to a previous ...

E Man

I'm having a bit of a problem here, and I can't seem to figure it out.

I currently run an AMD 1700+ with Windows XP, a 7200 rpm 80gb HD, as well as a gig of PC2100 memory.

When I run KaZaA, my computer dramatically slows down. I'm aware of the fact that KaZaA is a big resource eater, but with 1024 ...

E Man

I think the issue is that you aren't a "known" member of the board, thus leaving many not feeling comfortable with buying from you.

E Man

Sorry if I took this thread where I didn't intend it to go. How about I propose this: If you have any good ideas and you don't mind sharing them, I am open to hear them.

That way, we eliminate the issue of someone worried about another individual "stealing" that's person's idea.

If you're willing ...

try and think about brick and mortar stores that exist that could go totally electronic.

Egghead is one example. They ...

E Man

Hmm...so now I'm assuming that no one's taking my original request for help seriously anymore....

E Man

Hehe, maybe you misunderstood my original post....or maybe I didn't make it clear. This is a school-related project...I'm not out to become the entrepreneur of the year.

And I'm not asking you to give me an entire business plan. I'm looking for somewhat basic ideas to give me a start. For example ...

E Man

Hi guys - I'm working on a research project/report and I'm trying to gather ideas. My objective is to create a full e-commerce business plan. Basically, what I seek as of now are ideas.

Does anyone have any creative ideas for an e-business? Possibly a business that the internet lacks that would ...

E Man

I didn't even know there was a 9500...I thought after 8500, it went to 9000 then 9700.

E Man

I jumped from a 256 mb PC2100 to 1024 mb PC2100, and the different was definitely huge. It really feels like I never hit the full capacity of the RAM which is great.

E Man

I use ECS mobos quite frequently, specifically the K75SA.

1) It's cheap ($53.99 at NewEgg)
2) It supports almost all AMD XP Procs
3) It supports both DDR and SDRAM
4) It has onboard audio and LAN

Granted, if you're big on sound quality, integrated sound isn't what you want, but other than that ...

E Man

Didn't work. I resprted to simply formatting the hard drive and reinstalling Windows XP without the Zip Drive connected.

E Man

Well, I went with FAT32. Thanks for your input guys. Now, I found out I have a defective zip drive, so it's time to deal with that.

E Man

Which file system should Windows XP have? FAT32 or NTFS? If either one is find, what are the advantages/disadvatages to using either one?

E Man

There has to be a way to fix the drive letters without wiping out the computer and starting over.

E Man

Ok, here's the issue:
I just got done building a computer for a friend. The following are the drive connected:

- CD-RW
- Hard Drive
- Zip Drive

The first time I looked in My Computer after installing Win XP, I noticed something odd: The Zip Drive was the C: drive, the CD-RW was the D: (which is ...

E Man

Where did you get a case like that? (The Coke theme).

E Man

I know there is a thread that parellels this, but NewEgg seems to be the only name really out there.

Are there any other places that have good, maybe some of the best, prices? (Shipping included) I've seen cheap places that charge outrageous shipping, and vise versa. I'm just looking for where I ...

E Man

You get what you pay for.

E Man

Warning for those who may care (I don't)...it's a heavy case. She's hefty. Although you could get a 300 pound guy to stand on it..even jump up and down on it...and nary a scuff on it.

For those who do care, I would recommend the aluminum version of these cases. I have one, and the only thing I ...

E Man

Grand total of $589 from Newegg.com.

Any thoughts? This look good?

All good, except for the fact that you said your friend only has $300-400 to spend...

E Man

I'm with LT...AMDs have always done me good.

E Man

I'm looking for the best AMD mobo for my money..here's what I'm looking for:

- DDR support
- AMD 1700-2200 (anything made for that range is fine)
- Onboard Audio
- Onboard LAN

Does such a mobo exist? I'd GREATLY appriciate any suggestions.

E Man

Namecheap.com isn't too bad and it's pretty cheap.

E Man

Hmm...what do you do with all of the old hardware (which I'm sure there are lots of). ?

E Man

Yikes, in response to what you wrote,
I would suggest trying this,

1. copy all needed data from winME partition to winXP one
2. format winME partition
3. edit the boot.ini so that winME no longer shows up!
4. copy wanted data back over to the other partition.
5. bingo bango bongo, Your done ...

E Man

Hey -
Here's my issue: I have two partitions on one single hard drive. One 40 gb partition with Windows ME (this was what I originally used) and just recently installed Windows XP Home on my second partition. Now I used XP primarily, and I see no reason to ever log onto my Windows ME partition. How ...

E Man

Hey guys-
I've been putting it off for a while, but I decided I'm finally going to take my A+ Cert. exam. Can anyone here who has taken it give me an idea as to how difficult it is, and what areas are heavily stressed? Any links to info. & prep. material would be MUCH appriciated. :)

Thank you.

E Man

I like BizRate.com .

E Man

Well, now I really feel stupid.

Thanks a bunch!

E Man

I don't see any tabs on the top of mine. I simply see a large grey rectangles with the words "Task" and "Status" at the top, and on the bottom, 3 buttons reading End Task, Switch To, and New Task. There are NO TABS.

I know what you're talking about, because that's the screen I used to have. If no ...

E Man

Here's a stupid problem I'm having, and I'm not quite sure why I can't figure it out. As a new WinXP user, I'm not familiar with everything yet. When I used to press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, I would see a small screen showing CPU Usage (%) and various other info....now when I press it, I only see ...
