    Post Your Workstation 2009!

    bleh.... I could have, but I have a dual head DVI card already, and I wasn't going to keep plugging / unplugging. I could have rigged up a splitter system, but bleh... just upgrade. Plus, these are better on power than my combo of a 2407WFP and 2001FP I had before. I'm going to use that...

    Changing LED's for beginner

    Hi guys, I have a device that flashes a red LED, I'd like to replace the LED's with LED's of a different color.

    VirtualBox

    I've been a fan of vmware since about 2003ish when I started using FreeBSD/Apache for a web server. Now I'm using the 2.1 version of VBox that just came out and I love it. I installed ubuntu 8.10 fresh, then tried the vmware 2.0, didn't work, wouldn't create virtual machines, wouldn't save...

    Hi, does anyone know of a way (or if it's possible) to set up a scenario where a user could keep their user profile on a flash drive and be able to use it to load that same profile regardless of which computer they were using? Along the same lines as roaming profiles, but with a USB drive...

    We have 4000 users with about 1000 computers and they are all XP. We bounced the idea around briefly of going to Vista on our new machines, but had problems from the start and shelved it. I reimage all the machines we order back to XP. We did go to Office 2007 and that has gone fairly...

    Anybody have one of these in good condition laying around somewhere? They are probably 3 years old or so, and I can't find them for less than 60 a piece, thinking more 40ish. Looking to pick up one or two to match some existing raid array drives. thanks.
