now $200

Due to disappointing volumes of advanced sales the $100 laptop is being offered at $200.. I read this news flash recently. Oh and you have to order 10,000 at a time to get this price.. You may google '$100 laptop $200' to get the full story. This is not a joke.

wow wins

I voted for wow because every computer geek under the age of about 30 seems to be a player or has been addicted to it at some stage or other. I don't play any online games myself but I find it interesting that this game is so strong in this very competitive market. The big question is why?

Microsoft is big and bloated and will I suspect will eventually die without its leading visionary and deal maker. And before you call me a bill fan boy go to the movies here or here .

I don't recommend both of these! They both are commercial and crap! Go for 7 zip at http://www.7-zip.org which is free, open source , fast and reliale.

I just need someone to tell me can I resize a fat32 partition without losing any data. I've never seen it done. 'warning you will lose all data' means what it says. You? mentioned DOS games. Try running Dosbox. I'm using it under XP, playing all sorts of ancient games. Once I figured out how to set...
