Hardware news, 1) 64 MB of flash is a hit in my neighborhood. You can get 80+ "fine" shots to please all but the most descriminating. 2) Intel's Home Anypoint is a total dud. The USB model didn't work at all while the PCI card worked just fine. Since Intel support was closed for the weekend, who cares !?! 3) I spent almost two hours today doing "pro bono" work -- trying to help someone with an AMD K6-III and a clone CD-RW get things working. 1.5 hours just to get past the O/S install and then the software required a website query. I was gone before the bad news could arrive (aka buy a P-III) >>>> You REALLY do get what you pay for. Me, I have an Intel PIII and a Plextor CD-RW drive. It cost a tad more but it was worth every penny. PS Forget every word from everyone including Anandtech.com about "overclocking" CPUs. Unless you have a doctorate in nuclear physics, the only thing overclocking is likely to do for you is to make wonder why you ever entered the computer age. Tip: Buy Intel. You haven't lived until you have tried to make the latest CD-RW clone work with an AMD K6-III. The guys at Fry's should be shot dead! Not that there isn't room in this world for a bargain, but, IMHO, it is best obtained by buying a few tons of wheat or several 1,000 rolls of toilet paper. When it comes to PCs, "everyone pays retail". Craig
