granpa Posted January 18, 2007 CID Share Posted January 18, 2007 daytrader, I'm guessing you do the spyware (daily), cache cleaning (daily) and other measures for a good running clean PC? What are the parameters of your system found @ 192.168.0.1 under system info in the SAT section?

tommie gorman Posted January 18, 2007 CID Share Posted January 18, 2007 Yeah, I thought the disk's stopped with the 4000 also. Ghostmaster might know that one. You might PM him. He likes staying up with that stuff daytrader.

daytrader Posted January 20, 2007 CID Share Posted January 20, 2007 it's a nikon 3200 coolpix I have had for a couple of years..it takes superb still pictures but has allways had a clicking sound in background..I have a new Canon SD500 7.1pixel that makes superb movies but I think the old Nikon makes better still pictures..I have a 'hobby' picture board if interested.. http://www.investorshub.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=2899 also I discovered this morning HughesNet (the ol DirectWav) has it's OWN testing site for speed..URL address can be seen in pitcutre in browser..

daytrader Posted January 20, 2007 CID Share Posted January 20, 2007 Bottom line is everyday they are improving electronics, modems, phones, all kinds of gadgets... so, I suggest making do with whatever you have for as long as you can stand it.. then get the latest thing on the market..and be content with it for a few years..then, by then, your 2 or 3 year old stuff will be a 'dinosaur'.. wash ,rinse, repeat..

daytrader Posted January 20, 2007 CID Share Posted January 20, 2007 case in point.. my state-of- the- art Dell computer that's 2 years old is already 'out of date' compared to what's out there now..I did bite the bullet and bought a GForce graphics upgrade card..$160..and added 1 gig of ram stick but that's all I'm putting in it for awhile.. next computer I get will be a dual core processor type computer that's 'HOT' right now..much faster..already..

daytrader Posted January 20, 2007 CID Share Posted January 20, 2007 I hear ya.. I'm nearing 55 and for years and years I avoided 'rich' people like the plague.. mainly because what few I had briefly met they were all 'snooty'.. but if you ever become a genuine friend to some..wow.. they can pull strings for you in the job place, give you a job, or in my case, give me their 'junk'..LOL.. One rich man's junk?, is for sure, a poor man's TREASURE!

haddikazook Posted January 21, 2007 CID Share Posted January 21, 2007 yeah, like all people, some are nice and some aren't, like the guy who said that he wouldn't associate with Lindsey Lohan because she was too poor(only worth seven million according to him). I would cheerfully run him over and never look back, unless it was to backup and do it again.
