I used a simple one for years. Just like the one Flier had. Bought a cheap Genius with a few win keys for about USD 10.00, but it is a German keyboard and is difficult to use because of the lnguage difference. I buy the cheap ones because I hate cleaning the **** things and just give them away when they get to messy. Pizza, Beer, and more beer makes a mess

Some of you may have heard about the Intel Masters Gaming Championship held in the UK on Saturday, 21 December 2002. There were 24 Clans competing for a share of the £25,000 purse. The event's most popular competition centered on the PC game ‘Return to Castle Wolfenstein’. A small excerpt from gamesradar.com: The ‘Return to Castle Wolfenstein’ discipline, which featured red hot favourites – 4 Kings, saw professional gaming at it’s very best and providing action on the IMAX screen that had the spectators clinging to the edge of their seats. In the end it was Glasgow’s ‘4 Kings’ that claimed outright victory over the fierce rivals ‘Lemmings’, in return for their troubles ‘4 Kings’ claimed the Intel Masters title and a £6000 winners cheque. For a small taste of what the gameplay was like you can download the ‘Return to Castle Wolfenstein’ map, 6.68 MB, that was made available to the Clans on 17 December 2002. Click Here to Download. Enjoy!

Man I must be on the inet to much cuz I didnt know what you were talking about till I heard it here. Thx@Conan

a real phreaker we have.

I have heard only good news about Linksys and how easy it is to setup. There is a article on my web site front page about Microsoft's new gear you might want to read.

Rick, lol, he has been up all day posting.

and a very Merry Christmas to you Pia.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it.... does it make a sound?? Now I understand the above statement you have made in the past. You are a very deep person Tris. What scares me is i LIKE this stuff.

I want to be the first kid on the block with one of those babies. The part about how a property can represent both 0 and 1 and the only difference is a mathematical element is intriguing. Star-Trek stuff. Thanks

I think the WWE needs MSFN! WWE Wrestles With Storage -- Xdrive to begin timed backup and recovery for Web storage and document-management service Xdrive Inc. must have missed the memo stating that storage as a service won't work. The storage service vendor is about to launch the second phase of its Web-based storage- and document-management service by adding timed backup and recovery. Testing will begin this week on the backup feature, which lets customers simply click on the word Backup to make a complete or incremental copy of their data. Early next year, Xdrive plans to add features to improve online customer support and enhance the site's workgroup capabilities so multiple workers can be confident they're all using the same data. The existing workgroup version is priced at $99 per month for almost 2 Mbytes of capacity. The service is a boon to Marty Pingree, remote technical manager at World Wrestling Entertainment Corp., which has been using Xdrive for about eight months. WWE travels from city to city to put on shows and hires part-time employees in each location, and Pingree found it difficult to keep up with changing E-mail addresses to send messages to workers in each city. "I needed a secure central site with wide range," he says. At first, Pingree just used Xdrive to post messages. After a while, he noticed that other WWE departments were storing their data on the service. He now can look up last year's plans for a show in a specific city and use it to develop a new show in the same city. Pingree likes posting the information on Xdrive. "I didn't want to be liable for people getting in" to the network, he says. "I don't have to call corporate IT when I have a problem. Storing and sending messages is [Xdrive's] bread and butter." Transmitting documents to remote users securely can be "somewhat of a nightmare for lots of small and medium companies," says analyst Nancy Marrone at Enterprise Storage Group. She says Xdrive's service can provide those companies with security, storage, and a clean backup copy of the stored data. http://informationweek.com
