    Need help setting up a wireless network.

    What you may want to do is configure the wireless router so that it acts as a wireless access point. Details on that are located here: http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&message.id=70438 I have not tried this myself, but I have heard of it. Other...

    Oil shelf being re-arranged at K-Mart

    I went by my local Kmart to see. They are apparently remodeling the entire store. The oil had been rearranged somewhat. They had 5W30 and 10W30 Durablend stacked next to each other. Both were priced at $3+/qt. The 10W30 looked to be SL or SM judging by product packaging (didn't look at back of...

    Need help with my new computer

    The File and Settings Transfer Wizard is the easiest way to go. However, if that doesn't work, your email folders should be *.dbx, where * is the name of the folder OE or you created, such as Inbox.dbx. The address book should be *.wab; it may be {userid}.wab. IIRC, the path to each under...

    Switchover from winter gas?

    Only a 25-cent jump? Here, it's more like 35-40 cents since the 1st of Feb. It was $2.09 - $2.14. Now it's $2.49/gal. Back to topic: I've noticed increased mileage, too. 2-3 on car; about 1-2 on truck.

    The mopar filters at Walmart..........

    Normal price here was $4.97 ea. Not much of a clearance price. They are still stocked here, too, and appear to be selling fairly well. Still, wouldn't be surprised if they don't go all orange (except for SuperTech).

    Autozone's new commercial

    fwiw-- Here, it's $10.99 for 5 qts QS Dino and STP filter. Also get $2 off any air filter with the $10.99 oil change special. The Pennzoil special was last month, for $12.99, get 5 qts Pennzoil dino and Fram filter.

    Pennzoil & SHELL???

    I'll second that. Didn't like it, either.

    AHHHHHH (Pennzoil rumor returns)

    I think Pennzoil may have been default in my neck of the woods (NC) at one point, too. However, they have just recently switched to Castrol products for regular changes, or SuperTech for bargain change. Might have been because of the wax buildup. Or, just simply because they could get the...

    Can't access combo drive - ACER

    Acer may have recovery partition on your PC's hard drive. If not, then they owe you at least a recovery CD that will allow you to recover Windows install. It won't necessarily be a full blown copy of Windows, but either the recovery partition and/or CD should allow you to restore the PC to brand...

    Can't access combo drive - ACER

    Oh, on the above post: I'm assuming it is IDE connections on both HD and CD-ROM. Some of the newer PCs are coming with serial ATA drives (thin, narrow red cable) now.

    Can't access combo drive - ACER

    Just a couple of hardware suggestions -- 1. Check IDE connector pins on back of CD-ROM. That's where IDE cable plugs into. They can be bent pretty easily sometimes. If one is bent, you may be able to straighten with needle-nosed pliers. Just be careful and don't break it. 2. Check to make...

    Any Major Chains Stocking Kendall>?

    I, too, have seen it at Autozone in qt bottles. $1.95/qt, I believe. It's the Kendall GT-1 Hi-Performance Synthetic Blend. btw--I also have seen it at Big Lots for $1.90/qt, but that was a few months ago and they have sold out here.

    Because they switched to GRPlll?????

    ConocoPhillips also posted record profit for 2006. Nowhere near as much as Exxon, but Exxon is #1 and ConocoPhillips is #3. Guess that means no more TropArtic, Motorcraft, or Kendall oil, either. ChevronTexaco is supposed to announce their profits within the next few days. Analysts predict...

    SG & SH oils?

    Not sure when they were spec. However, fwiw, my 2004 Camry 4 cyl and 2004 Dakota V8 both are recommended to use 5W30 SL. 10W30 is also acceptable for either.
