    The Thinkpad T40 (2373-8CU) that I have suddendly has no video (even when I try connecting an external monitor to it).

    File Systems

    If I take the hard drive out of my PowerBook G4 (running OS X) and slave it to a PC running Windows XP Pro, will I able able to see the data & move it? The laptop has an EXTREMELY distorted/garbled display (connecting to external monitor shows the same so I suspect it to be the logic board).

    Internet Explorer Pages "Stall" With Error

    Like most folks that are still running IE 6.0 (versus IE 7, Navigator, Mozilla, Firefox, whatever have you) there is certainly the tendency to have multiple windows open at the same time (all IE,). What's happening is I may have one IE window open looking at, say, my Fantasy League team's...
