  1. I'm moving to Oregon in a couple of weeks and I'm exploring the idea of canceling comcast service and getting my final bills and doing my banking by free wifi until I get a fixed address which should be in about a month.

    Any advise anyone has to protect my data, passwords, etc. would be appreciated.

    I guess I would have to set up new email accounts with a free service and transfer my bills to it. Are any safer than any others?

    What about staying with comcast and using their free hot spots across country?

     

    I'm asking for advice since I only connect to the internet via my home set up which seems to be well protected.

  2. I have a WD 1TB Black for 4 years and it's fast and quiet. I had a WD My Book 1TB usb 3.0 with a WD Green inside that got very little use and it went dead. I'll buy the Black again but the Green is a no-go.  It was very eco friendly, it quit using electricity.

  3. My 128GB went dead after working perfectly for six months. I contacted PNY by email and received a new one within a week. I'm not sure if I did something wrong or it was just something wrong with the flash drive.

    While searching their site I noticed this deal. I think it's a good price for a nice flash drive without messing around with a rebate.

    $30

    I just checked the site and this deal is over, but they have others.

    Say goodby to my Old Emachines Keyboard. I need to buy some Lotto tickets.

     

    A big thanks to Clay Meow & Bosco

    If I were to have any more kids I would name them after you.

    Congrats! But other than creating the post, I had nothing to do with it; all the praise should go to Bosco and Tesoro, especially the latter!

     

    My bad.

    Thank You Tesoro

    Is Tesoro a proper name for a boy or a girl?

    &

    Will my wife go along with it.

     

    I think it sounds like a girls name... Tess for short. 

     

    Tesoro is a Spanish word meaning treasure, so either boy or girl would work, or a samurai warrior.

  7. I buy from TigerDirect, NewEgg, and Micro Center according to who offers me the best deal. I have returned two products with no problems and one was a TV that was past the stated return date. The Chicago area stores are always courteous and easy to deal with. TigerDirect also provided me with the fastest Rebate time when I bought my CPU, one week. However in defense of Locutus if I got screwed I wouldn't shop there either.

  8. Thanks for all the great advise. I bought the Vizo S3820w-CO and it seems to be more than enough for my bedroom TV. If I was going to use it for games or big movies I would probably get a better system.
