So, I had bought, but not opened, a 3 port fireware card before I got the new laptop. Should I see if my card is the '6' variety, and potentially keep it anyway? > 2.

Basically: 15 inch screen, Pentium 4 2.8 ghz, 40 gig drive, nice video card. Real nice keyboard too. All-around _very_ good system and the price was super cheap - 1.5k (Circuit City). Also has one of those memory card readers, which is nice since both my digital camera and my DV camcorder (which also has a digital camera in it) supports the media. CD-RW/DVD. I also picked up the Sony DVD burner today - the one that burns everything. Yes, this weekend was hardware weekend. :) -rc ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm
