Does anybody know which digital camera was offered for free last week with the purchase of a 710X or XL system? I seem to recall that it was the T50 but they are sending me the T20. I can't prove that they are wrong, and I actually think that I misread it, since the T50 is pretty high end, but...

I have an interesting problem. I have a HP 722c printer, one computer running 98SE and a new one running XP Home. So long I had the printer hooked up to the 98SE computer, I could print off of either computer via the network. When I switched it over the last weekend to the XP computer, the 98SE...

A friend of mine just gave me an old Gateway computer that doesn't work due to what appears to be a power supply problem. When I push the ON switch, the light blinks and the PS fan jerks for like half a second, then nothing at all happens. Now, the strange thing is, the power supply works by...

I love the idea of the connected DVD player but my home network is all linux based. Can anyone tell me if I can use the Gateway connected DVD player in a Linux network? Thanks, Ray

I got a new Dell computer a few months ago, which meant my Gateway G6-450 was relegated to 2nd string status. Out of curiosity, I wanted to see if I could upgrade the operating system from Windows 98 First Edition to Millennium (ME). I wiped the hard drive clean and installed ME. ...

Back in July I asked about how big a hard disk drive I could put in my PC and the advice was 'up to 127GB' (thanks Ed). I'm finally getting round to it (I've even got the drive now)! I'm not sure if I understand correctly so I'd appreciate any comments on what I also plan to do when I fit this...

I purchased a Gateway 500XL in October 2002. Since I have purchased the computer I have never been able to get the Studio 8 software to work right or get the DVD RAM to work right. Just wondering if anyone else has had the same problems and if they fixed them. I gave up on Gateway tech...
