BEWARE BAIT & SWITCH on "Omaha Steaks, Burgers, and Cheesecake" deal last wk. Shipping added BACK on at time of shipment

What happens when you "QuickTrack" your purchase at HSN.Com? (Click QuickTrack - top of screen.) Our order says "Shipped 8/9/02," but we've received NO shipping confirmation. Click on your "Omaha Steaks..." order, then PRINT the page you see (it should be time/date stamped). Our...

Complete vent free Gas Log set $129.99 Shipped

Try this link: Vent-free logs BTW, "dead links" needn't stop you: put your mouse cursor over an original link, (open a new browser), type in much of the original link, backing up 1-2 "pages." IOW, once you get to a "master page," you can then try to go forward on your own. Just a thought.

HELP! PC won't fire up. Power Supply, MB... ???

Thanks guys. Yup, it's an AT case/PS (forgot to mention that, sorry). We unplugged everything except the MB, then plugged it into several (working) outlets. Again -- nothing. Would an AT PS at least spin it's fans -- even if out of the case and not hooked up to the MB? Thanks again.

HELP! PC won't fire up. Power Supply, MB... ???

Diagnostic HELP please! This AM our PC would NOT fire up. Plugged it into several outlets (all good) and NOTHING happens when we push the switch -- no fans, no lights, no beeps, nada. Your thoughts: * Power Supply? * Motherboard? * Switch? (BTW, we never use the PC's switch. It's always...

Lexar Jumpshot cable $9.99 plus s&h

5-O... Why would you buy (pay for) a JumpShot cable? It will ONLY work w/ Lexar's CF cards, so if you buy a CF from another MFG you're SOL. You can get a "universal" CF reader for $12 - $25 that will read virtually ALL CF cards (**including** those from Lexar). Or watch for deals here on...

192 mb lexar compactflash for $79.99 @ cusa--no AR

You'll need the Jump Shot USB Cable for your Card. Don't think so. If your camera (MP3 player, or ???) has a USB connection, you can transfer directly to/from your PC by just plugging in a USB cable. That, however, can drain batteries. Which is why many folks buy a separate "media card"...

gecko97... Your link does NOT work (one too many "http..."). You can easily "edit" your post to fix the problem. It would also help if you turned ON your PM (private messaging -- top of screen, select "Profile"). That way folks can send notes like this privately. Thanks -- I'd like to...
