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!
There are (in general, but there are exceptions) most computer batteries are $6 Lithium Ion button batteries about the size of a nickel, or tiny little 1/2 AA barrel shaped batteries.
Look on your motherboard, it's likely there somewhere, and quite likely to be a 3v CR2016 or CR2032, or a 3.6 v CR2025 maybe.
Available at electronics counters everywhere, including Wal-Mart, etc.

Well, the great experiment to recover the USB drive has failed. I can't even reformat it blank now. Very irritating. I backed it up before it failed utterly, but now I'm nervous about relying on the technology as much as I had been--keeping email on a locked drive, primarily. Most everything else is duplicated somewhere else, but the email contains sent messages that weren't anywhere else.
How did I break it? Unplugged it before ejection was complete. Caveat user.
ita, I broke a whole computer by unplugging the keyboard. Some of us just have the gift ;)
I don't want the gift. Somebody take it back.
A virtual PC for every person. So this is web 2.0, huh? I have to say, it's a nifty idea. Perhaps more durable than a flash drive. Still, it's more comforting to have your data where you can degauss at need.
Huh.
Office suite (for G.ho.st Drive files): Zoho and ThinkFree
I've never used those - what are they like?
zoho is pretty good -- for the word processing anyway -- I didn't have to lok hard for anything like i did for google docs
My connection is too slow to render g.ho.st useful. I like the idea, though.
