Alex Sanders replied to Joshua{XP}'s discussion 'What kind of keyboard do you own?'

"The Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000. Only downside I could find is the painted letters on the keys fade after a while. No biggie if you're a blind typist. The F and J keys are home keys (have bumps) to further compensate this minor problem…"

Alex Sanders replied to Duku's discussion 'ive owed a mac for 2 weeks now and im still not convinced'

"Two simple things: 1. A PC with Windows is able to play games, whereas a Mac is very limited in this perspective 2. A Mac will do what you need it to do without the BS PC users have to put up with, for the most part. And if you have serious…"

Alex Sanders replied to Strega222's discussion 'Do you think Windows XP is outdated?'

"I'll tell you 1 thing Windows 7 doesn't have: a functional search engine. If you want to search for a file the way you would in XP with Search, you now have to download a 3rd party program just to be able to search without restrictions.…"

Alex Sanders replied to Shtanto's discussion 'Wiring a Snes to an old Sony TV - any suggestions?'

"If your TV has a SCART port you can use that with the converter dongle you put the 3 plugs (white red yellow) into or put the plugs directly into the TV's composite ports. If not, you're stuck with RF and have to resort to performing a…"

"I can't believe it hasn't been mentioned yet unless I've skimmed over it, but Quake Live is free to play, basically the same as Quake III Arena played through browser, works really well."

Alex Sanders replied to Jonathan kavanagh's discussion 'Free Anti-Virus Programs'

"Comodo has an anti-virus built in their firewall package (Comodo Internet Security Premium -- oddly it's free despite what the name would suggest) and is pretty lightweight."

Alex Sanders replied to Griffyn Pilcher's discussion 'Steam has an endless supply of error messages.'

"One thing to keep in mind also for future errors: if an update freezes and eventually spits out an error, it probably wants administrator rights so you will either have to run Steam as admin or swap to your admin account to update that way."

Alex Sanders replied to Andrew Waples's discussion 'High Defintiion still the premium television or are they standard now days?'

"HD definitely is the standard today. A cheap 720p TV is had for around 500 bucks which is a pretty affordable price. 3D right now is still something for those who want to waste money on expensive TVs, wear glasses (horrible for people who…"

Alex Sanders replied to Joezef's discussion 'Should I upgrade my GPU or my CPU?'

"The system you have now is fine as-is. If you want to upgrade anything before making the major leap to an entirely new rig, buy a GTX 560 videocard which can be transferred to said rig later on. Knowing you will eventually upgrade both, I would…"
