Mouse Glide Glue by
Grinder
I've got an old Apple ADB mouse whose semicircular rear glide has come
loose.
http://www.gordogato.com/pics/apple/zm_adbkb_mouse_apple_4.jpg
Superglue would probably work to reattach it, but is there something I
can use that will be more forgiving if I ever want to replace the glides?

2/3 of New HD Missing? by
RF[_5_]
Hi Experts :-)
I bought a new 400GB HD a few days ago. I added it to my older computer to
format it and it went fine. After that I set up about 1/3 of it in one
partition and left the remainder empty.
Next I moved it to my newer computer and started the win2k installation via
the CDR. Things went...

Can I use an optical mouse (PS2 port) on a Win98 SE computer? by
tasTDasd
I need to change the mouse on a Win98 SE personal computer.
I have to use the PS2 port.
Nowadays, optical mice are pretty common.
Can I use an optical mouse on that Win98 SE pc?
If I can, do I need to download a driver (from Microsoft or manufacture)
for the optical mouse?

When does an HDD replace bad sectors? by
pimpom
I understand that a modern HDD has many spare sectors which it automatically
substitues for bad sectors until it runs out of spares, and that a bad
sector showing up in the OS is a sign that the drive has aged too much to be
reliable.
But when does the substitution take place? I expect that,...

Confirm motherboard diagnosis? by
Bob Newman
I am a novice with a 1 1/2 year old Compaq F730US laptop that has been
diagnosed with a dead motherboard. Is there any way I can confirm this
diagnosis myself before I buy a new laptop? I am not confident of local
repair shops and estimates get costly fast.
Thanks in advance... Bob

1TB hard drive on PATA machine by
Peter Chant[_2_]
Any thoughts?
Existing system is PATA only, PCI & AGP, no PCI-E.
PATA drives seem rare and relatively expensive for the amount of storage you
get and at maximum seem to be 500GB. If I want to upgrade this machine to
1TB the only feasible way looks like external firewire drive plus firewire
card....
