I got a 100% as well. I was surprised it was only 10 questions. They had XLR as an answer, so I was hoping they would have some as the question. The only one I hesitated on was the last, but decided it was phone. I couldn't count all the conductors easily, but realized it was squarish, and that ethernet would have been wider.

The netbook I'm considering is this one (amazon link), an Acer. It's got dual-core Intel SU7300, 4GB of memory, HDMI, etc. It's right around 3 lbs w/o the charger.

Matt, the warning I got about Acer was that making any changes, including upgrading memory, voids the warranty. That was true when I was looking at netbooks almost a year ago --- don't know if it's still true now.

Dana, thanks for the warning - that's a big red flag. I'm planning to wipe it and Linux/Hackintosh it - all of the components appear to be supported under centos and Ubuntu, and that, plus the dual-core et cetera, made it attractive.

I got 80% -- and missed the telephone and parallel cable connectors, both of which I've used a lot. In my defense, I've misplugged the cable and telephone connectors for years now, so it's certainly a habitual mistake for me.

They could have added in the DB25 to 50 Centronics SCSI cable and really thrown people.

If HP Lovecraft wrote C manuals

I can't say that it made me a better programmer, but this mashup of Brian W Kernighan & Dennis M Ritchie's classic "The C Programming Language" with the elder horrors of HP Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos has alerted me to the urgent problem of inadvertent dimensional rifts that may be opened through poor programming practice:

Cinq adds an extra 10-inch monitor to your laptop

Looking for some extra screen space on your laptop? The Cinq is a 10-inch USB monitor that can hang right on the side of your screen, giving you all sorts of extra room to work with.

In addition to the screen, it's got an SD card reader, which is a nice touch. You'll be able to buy one when it's released in the third quarter of this year for $249.

I spent a good chunck of time on Sunday with Norton Security cleaning virus's off the laptop CJ uses. Everything worked fine when we were done and I was able to do some wireless surfing.

Now, the computer connects to the wireless network. Says it has an excellent connection. My laptop connects and works fine. But neither Firefox or Explorer will acknowledge there is an internet connection on that laptop. I have reviewed all the settings I can think of. We have tried it both wirelessly and direct connected to the modem without any luck.

Any ideas?

Re-boot the router?
