So, I finally figured out what the problem was with my home internet. Apparently, the new cable modems have a built in router. And what happens when you have two routers connected to the same source? Why yes, it's DNS issues! the dumbass contractor didn't realize what would happen if you connected both of them. I seem to recall him asking if I wanted to use their router, but I didn't realize that it was incorporated into the modem, and he didn't seem to know that it would cause conflict. Argh. Everything seems to be working now, but we'll see.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
ita, you were talking about cheap tablets, the Blackberry PlayBook is on sale for $299. [link] Same price for 16, 32, and 64 GB
Thanks. But I don't want to tie my sister that OS. Pretty much looking for straight Android, and unlike the HP WebPads, I haven't read that they can be hacked to run it. Them being dumped like that doesn't bode well for continued HW and SW support, I worry. And they don't have a developer backing like either of the major two.
Thanks, ND. I finally managed to find a guy who new what he was talking about, but I think it got me a total of 2% off on the iPad I was buying. I hopefully won't need another laptop for a while, but thanks for the suggestions.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a free QR code generator?
I use qrstuff.com
Thanks!
ita !, today's woot.com deal is a refurbished 16GB Toshiba Thrive for 279.99.
I might buy one. I like them because they have lots of ports. Heavier than Tabs, etc, but hey, good price!
Thanks for that heads up, Gris. I just had to replace my phone, so I don't know if I'll be jumping on this today. But it does seem appealling...
I decided against it, just because the customization scene seems really weak for the Thrive - doesn't look like CM9 will be available, for example. The Asus Transformer refurbished is available on newegg.com for $329.99 and may be a better bet.
