Re: Guitar Hero Q - 13 years ago

At this point, stand-alone drums are not available for GH. Depending on what system you are using, I've read that the Rock Band 2 wireless drums will work with GH. They should work on XBox 360 and PS3. Not sure about Wii.

Re: Apple screws up in shipping my iMac! - 13 years ago

During last year's Black Friday sale, I ordered an iPod Classic. I couldn't decide between the 80 or 120 GB model so I had them both in my cart. So, somehow I managed to have 2 pages open with different carts and wound up sending the order with both in my cart. By time i figured this out, maybe 20-30 minutes had past. I tried to cancel the order, but it had already shipped. Fortunately, Apple was

Re: RYF! If You Dare - 13 years ago

Microsoft is having a special promotion thru January 10, 2009 for up to 50% off this version and I've seen upgrades in the $110 range, but the full version lists up around $500. So if it is not a price mistake, this is a great deal if you want it. I already own the Home and Student edition.

Re: Best use of leftover turkey DARK meat? - 13 years ago

Hot open faced turkey sandwiches. Just cut up some of the turkey and heat it in a pot of gravy. Spoon over your favorite bread and eat with a knife and fork. Some like cranberry sauce on top.

Re: Anyone have experience with electric percolators? - 13 years ago

Also, you did not say whether these percolators are new or used. If they have been used for coffee, the one you use for water will give a coffee off-taste to the water. This will often over power the taste of tea. I would recommend cleaning the pot with a one off the available coffee pot cleaning solutions. Or, I find that a diluted solution of household bleach and water works pretty well. Rinse

Re: BAM! Just pulled the trigger ... - 13 years ago

Everything I have read says the ram upgrade is worth it. Pretty easy too, remove the battery, take out three screws for the ram cover, pop out the old and pop in the new. The following link shows it pretty clearly. Applelink

Re: Just got my flu shot. How about YOU? - 13 years ago

Next week for me too. Although, I got the shot last year and still came down with a full blown case of the flu. Confirmed by a nose swab at my doctor's. Fortunately, I recognized the symptoms early, and Tamiflu greatly reduced the severity and duration. Hopefully, they pick the right strain this year.

Problem with External Hard Drive - 13 years ago

A Co-Worker purchased a 320 GB hard drive in a Metal Gear Box Firewire/USB 2 enclosure close to a year ago for backup purposes on his iMac. Well, he just got around to setting it up but he's not very computer savvy, and called me when he couldn't get it to work. I set it up with the firewire connection, but kept getting an initialization failure when I tried to format it. Then I noticed that Disk

Re: Is Amazon's free shipping slower these days? - 14 years ago

I've placed 50-60 orders with Amazon over the past few years using free shipping. Of those orders that were listed as In Stock, none have taken more than five days to ship. Most have shipped in three days or less. Orders during the Christmas Holiday often shipped the same or next day. I guess I've just been lucky.
