I open up two web pages one for Dimension 4700 for home purchase and one for Dimension 4700 Small Business.

Hello, For the life of me I can't figure out how to copy a CD. I know there will be disk swapping, but I don't know where or how to get started. Help? I can drag and drop now like a pro, but totally stumped on copying an entire CD! Mike

I have been using this Monitor successfully with the DVI input for some time. A short while ago when switching on, the only message on the screen was: "In power save mode, press any key or move mouse." Well, neither action made any difference. I swapped the input to Analogue on the Monitor and my...
