    question about clams

    Is it dersa or maxima that are the pretty purple/blue? Is it the dersa that is easier to keep than the maxima? With my new ATI lights, are they strong enough to penetrate down the 20" or so of water to keep a clam? I have several frags of zoos on the bottom as well as some rics down there that...

I have seen a single APC unit protect a server room at a nursing home from a lightning strike where all the other PCs werent using the APC devices and they all fried. At that time the company I worked for changed policy to...

    LED'S ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!

    My house is over 100 years old and I am sure the wiring is all original. I wouldnt do 12 PCs with accessories on one circut in a new house. 2 circuts would be fine and each PC would be plugged into an APC BackUPS office 450 or so. In the corporate offices that I have worked in, the floors...

    Repairing TV after lightning strike- Need help!

    That 40" tv would make a great conversation piece as a coffee table. Stick some legs on it and go buy a new TV and a quality sugrge supressor. Dont chince out on the $10 power strip when you are protecting a $1000 TV. I would bet that there is more wrong than the power supply. Crack the TV...

    LED'S ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!

    Just reading this now and I think I had a solution to the problem. Since the amp draw at initial turn on was a problem and not the amp draw during actual operatino, onse simple device (probably an ******** of them) would have worked and could have made this easier. In the realm of car stereo...

    Calling all actual Mechanics

    If the gear shifter was locked in D then it would make sense that the ignition would be locked in on. I dont understand how the tranny would be locked though. was it a ford? I know they have funny trannies in them.
