Calling all Computer Geeks
 

Ok here is my dilema..
I have this lap top(Compaq Presario) that I purchased like 2 years ago from Best Buys .. Its Enough to get my homework done and play a little ..lol... But it only has a DVD Rom in the next ffew months I am planning on going back to a Desk Top with features like cd/dvd Burner
But for the mean time I have a few vids I would like to copy from my windows Media Player and Real Player Should I A. Wait to purchase the other computer?? or B get an External CD Burner to attach to my lap top????

I have an external USB CD/R you can borrow 8)

Sounds like problem solved.

Excelente my friend...
When Can we meet to borrow it?

you dont need it today, do you? Its at the office in Sac. I can pick it up the next time I'm down there :D

I would definatly say "dont" buy one. they are not worth the money when the ones in computers are so cheap now and come with everything :D

No no !! It's cool when ever you have time no need to make a special trip... Unless you want to drive your baby for the hell of it .. ;) .. lol
Ohh and I am glad I asked because I was planning on buying one but was going to go into Best Buys to ask for Pro Help..


Thanks again Mike... :)

:shock:






:lol: :lol: :lol:

haha :lol:

You know, I heard Fry's is even more helpful with that kind of stuff.

There isn't a Fry's in Reno. I think there is one in Sac though.

Plus, Fry's has realistic pricing on so many items. BB & CUSA always wants today's prices for yesterday's technology. I wish we had one here!

Anyone who's actually set foot in a Fry's before knows that I was completely kidding with that statement. :lol:

oh....oops. Can't say I have ever been in one. I went to a Fred's once in Seattle.

In the one time I went to Fry's, I thought the store was cool - you can find every color of UTP and other kinds of wire you could ever hope for, pink, green, purple, silver. If I ever needed to wire my bathroom for something, I'd know right where to go. :)

The problem with Austin's joke, is that none of you remember when there was *one* Fry's and it was a giant, dank, dirty, warehouse in Fremont. (edit: I think there were actually 2 Fry's back then... both were black-holes of shipping horror.)

*Nothing* was brand name. Everything was in brown boxes, in disorganized racks. Customer service was non-existant, let alone "expert". The running joke was that all the people that worked there were too busy talking to their baby's momma on their cell phone to help you with anything.

You had to be a true geek to be able to navigate the store and come out with what you were looking for... however, if you knew exactly what you needed you could usuall yfind it and get it for a raging good price.

Here's an example of the jokes that used to fly back in the mid-90's:

I went to that Fry's once. It's pretty cool. You can buy stuff, and no one bothers you or trys to upsell you.

Very funny. I live at the YMCA. ha.

Point being, if you say "I'm here for that XP1800/ECS $60 combo", they'll know you're talking about a CPU/MB package on sale instead of walking you all the way into Home Theater, thrusting an audio cable splitter into your hands, and yelling back over their shoulder "anything else you need just come see me".

Don't bash Fry's too hard, they're one of our customers... 8) But they still kinda suck.

Yea, just don't ask them to fix your computer.

Look who's come to whore our boards.
Hi Soggy!

Oi! Soggy!!!11!

lol. yea the SRIC boards have died down! :(

I thought they had a frys in Nevada?

maybe in Vegas, but not up here.

Vegas has one, and its very... Vegas. Shiny, lots of lights flashing. Not like a real Fry's, its like a SuperFry's or something.
