  1. Sounds good! I'll send you a PM in the next couple of weeks. I'm in the process of a move that has to be done in 3 weeks' time, so I will likely move all my issues, and then parse back through them to scan some myself and also send some out for some help. Thanks!
  2. http://www.xyzcomputing.com/index.php?opti...ask=view&id=415 My daily traversals into digg.com pulled this link up, debating whether for various reasons, the SNES was the best console that there's ever been (and apparently ever will be!) Being this a "retromags" forum and place, I have a feeling I'll see some agreement. I could likely counter-argue that the Dreamcast was better but I know I would lose on two accounts: the controller and the lack of RPG's. So without further adieu .... let's get it on!

    In a word .... nice! It'll keep me occupied until I get to post #26!
  4. Yo! I'm a 26 year old IT manager and general video game junkie! I work at a video game store in West Chester, OH named Game Junkie, and I've been a fan of emulation and gaming online for nearly 10 years now. Through some IRC friends of mine, I discovered this effort and hope I can be of at least a little bit of help, and have a little bit of fun in the forums about it all.
  5. How customizeable is uTorrent as far as background bandwidth and number of connections? A roommate of mine was complaining that even a torrent being leeched and seeded at very low speed was crippling the rest of a 3 megabit down / 768kbit up DSL line, so I'd like to make sure that I can customize a lot of aspects of the program to make sure it's friendly to the rest of the connection. uTorrent cool for that?
  6. Here goes (there will be two) Desktop (mostly remoted into) CPU: AMD Athlon XP 1700 RAM: 512 MB PC2700 DDR HD: 40GB, 30GB, 160 GB, enough external drives to sink a ship! Video: ATI Radeon 8500 128MB Sound: AC97 Onboard OS: Windows XP Pro SP2 Laptop CPU: AMD Athlon XP-M 2200 RAM: 512MB PC2700 DDR HD: 40 GB 5400RPM Laptop Drive Video: ATI Radeon IGP 300 (Onboard) Sound: Onboard OS: Windows XP Home SP2 There's an iBook in the mix for what I use too, but it's a G3. Can you tell I need to do some upgrading?
  7. While it may not make a huge difference (2-3 degrees, moreso when the computer sits more idle), CPU Cooling software has helped my laptop with overheating problems do a better job of staying cool. HMonitor is prolly the easiest software to use and the most comprehensive, but it's $30. CPUIdle Extreme is a bit easier to find, and does a formidable job as well. I'd say the hardware answers noted above are by far the best bet, but this may help in the short term, or as an extra step.
  8. Question for the masses ... When you scan issues of Nintendo Power ... do you typically tear up the entire issue in order to get perfect scans of each page, or just bend the pages in at the binding? Also, is anyone accepting magazines for scanning? I have a lot of Nintendo Power issues I would love to donate to the effort but my time for scanning doesn't match the amount of issues I have. Thanks!
