Communication speed of wireless to wired signals? (eg mice)

A signal by wire is sent straight to the computer. A wireless signal is converted to air and then sent to the computer. Because of such "lag", a wired connection will always be speedier.

Smoking Hot for the Chicago Burbs. Fry's !!!

It seems every week there is an awesome ad sale there. Also compared to other computer, electronic, appliance stores, Fry's is HUGE. So much selection. Sure its not always as cheap as Newegg, but its a local place to get something right when you need it.

Air Can rebate

This isn't technical support, but if the rebate asks for a copy of the upc, it's fine. Otherwise, I am pretty sure the upc isn't painted onto the can, so careful work with a razor should pull that upc wrapper off. DO NOT puncture the can. Otherwise you can say goodbye to your fingers.

DIVX discs

Odds are they are no good anymore. Once the disk has been played once, the data on the disc would decay rapidly. You had at most a week to watch the movie. Sorry.

How to install Windows 98 on a notebook pc which can have either the floppy or the CD ROM but not both?

But of course you can copy the contents of a floppy boot disk with cdrom drivers to the hard drive. You can search google for an acceptable bootdisk image.

Trying to disable the touch pad on my Laptop (Seanote)

Well I suppose you can find it in the Device Manager and disable it. Don't delete it otherwise it will just reinstall on your next reboot.
