    Solved! Minimum I should spend on a laptop?

    Looking for something to open PDF's and watch youtube when working out in the shop, so really not wanting to spend so much that I actually have to care about the thing's condition. IDEALLY I'd like Windows 7 on it for old time's sake and because I need nothing more. Good speakers would rock too...

    Technics stereo speakers not recognized by LG TV

    Hello, For some reason I can't get these two to play nice. The RCA jacks at the back of our cable box? Speakers work fine, confirming the RCA cord's good, and everything on the stereo's end. For some reason, I plug into the RCA jacks of the back of my TV...nothing. Nowhere in the menus can I...

    Looking into new gaming headset, cross platform, seeking feedback

    Hello, I'm in the market for a new gaming headset to use with my PS3 and PC. budget: $70 approximately (if there's something AWESOME for 80 that makes the best 60-70 one look like crap, I'm flexible.)

It's been awhile since I did anything on this system and somebody that wasn't me left it a way they shouldn't have, but regardless, all is well now. For future reference and anyone...

    Making a PDF writable for free

    It's worked to the point of retaining the BASIC format of the source file, but I'm at this point wondering if it'd be easier to take a screenshot, throw into openoffice as an image, then proceed from there with making my own fillable PDF over said image if you get what I mean. Lemme know what...

    Making a PDF writable for free

    Hello, I have this PDF, if it means anything, I can highlight the text, and when I click in some places, the blinking line shows up thus granting the illusion it can be typed on, but it cannot. How can I either cleanly paste this into word, or make the PDF writable without destroying it, for...
