what is googlegear? i just got a bismo 500 w/12 gb hd. i received today a 512 chip from owc so i will be up to 640, but still need to deal with the hd. i had ordered the 4200 40gb travelstar from dell- don't ask, they had an insane price - but instead received a module fro one of ther computers. it has been almost a week trying to get somebody to correct this with no luck so i am thinking on contacting visa for a credit and returning it to them. gg On Monday, December 30, 2002, at 01:48 PM, Hal wrote:
