    Hi guys, My laptop is still running Tiger. What would be the best free back-up software to use with it? I'm mainly looking to back up my iPhoto and iTunes library. Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Is this an underground WLA movement or a site feature?

    I've rolled my mouse over a couple links in a few threads and it seems to lead to Wombat's page profile. Is this an underground WLA movement, clever user trickery, or some sort of weird ass site feature for bad links? It also happens on one "Show Spoiler" button in a particular thread. Links...

    casual PC user, need a video card upgrade

    Does anyone know the site that has a list of all the different revisions of video cards and puts them in an easy to understand table so you can tell easily how much you're upgrading? IIRC, the table was set up where cards of similar range were grouped. They also suggested to upgrade at least...

    JavaScript help please, thank you.

    If you are only vaguely familiar with JS, please look away as this is complete gibberish. Anyway... I'm trying to use "document.write" to display a user input on a very basic page. The thing is, I'm trying to have some sort of consistency as far as background, banners, etc. between the JS...

    How to extract the audio file from a DVD?

    Hi guys, Hopefully this doesn't break any ToS (if they do, mods please close). Anyway, I want a very specific audio sample from a DVD. How do I go about doing it? This version of the song is only available on the DVD I have so I have no other way of getting my hands on the song. Thanks.

    FS/FT: PS2, Xbox, GCN Games (Ico, DMC, Jade Empire, Pikmin, many more)

    Hi CAGs! I'm looking to move my game collection. Please feel free to take a look and make me offers. I'm mostly concerned about making room here. I'll be happy to discuss offers back and forth with a fellow CAG, but you have to make an offer in the first place. If you order a few games, I'd...

    Best way to move last gen game collection?

    I'm deciding what the best course would be to move my last gen games and systems. I primarily have tons of Xbox games that I'm looking to move now and then moving on to PS2 and GCN stuff. What would your suggestions be? 1) Sell what I can here individually? (What are the drawbacks to this...

    Are 360 Elites proving to be more reliable in general?

    My 3rd 360 just died on me (E74) and it does not fall under warranty anymore. I think I'm just going to go the route of an Elite. I haven't been keeping track of all the different revisions the console has had, so I don't know. Are the Elites proving to be far more reliable than the Pro...

    Retro Rewind: Back to the 80s A/V question

    So my aunt's aged VCR is virtually down for the count. I can't convince her to switch over to DVR/TiVo since she's not so technically savvy (bad excuse on her part, but I can't sway her). So I'm tasked with trying to help her get on with her TV recording needs with another VCR. Problem is, I...

    Anyone buy Halo 3 Legendary Edition from Amazon?

    How was their packaging for it? I was considering ordering it, but given the size of the box and how they've shipped other similarly sized orders, I'm afraid they'll just throw it into a larger box with no other padding and it'll get here with the box damaged. Thanks.

    how to download youtube videos

    I'm certain this has been brought up, but the Search function never really pulls up anything relevant for me. So how do I download Youtube videos? I downloaded the VideoDownloader (v1.1.1) add-on and the MediaCoder software for conversion, but whenever I click the VideoDownloader icon on a...

    I need to sign up for a forum for computer help, but they don't allow those email accounts for sign up. Thanks.

    Any PC troubleshooters out there? need your help...

    So my main problem is I can't get a display to my monitor either at POST or in Windows. I'm using a Radeon 9800 Pro connected via DVI-D to a BenQ FP241W. I need further help isolating the problem. Everything is stock as I don't play PC games. Right now, I'm seeing if it's a conflict with...

    If you could only have two DS games...(game recommendations)

    If you could only have two DS games, what would they be? I'm gonna order a DS Lite tonight. I picked up PPL as an Amazon DotD a few days ago, but I'm trying to decide on what other game (or two) to order along with it. I want something unique to the system. Looking at New Super Mario Bros...

    What to do with an old laptop?

    HDD died a while ago and I've always wanted to do something different with it. I'll swap in a new HDD, but I need a new OS. Are there options for something like this where I don't want to shell out for another OS? I'd appreciate your suggestions. I just want to mainly be able to get on the...

    Recommendations for a Portable Media Player?

    I'd appreciate some advice. iPods are not part of the selection, please. I was looking at the Zen Vision W 30GB. A big selling point I'm looking for would be the ability to record voice. Thanks for your advice.

    Battlestations Midway: CAG Pacific Fleet (gauging interest)

    The game is on sale this week at CC for $40, so I'm wondering if any other users are going to give it a try. It seems to be predominantly an online game, so I wanted to see the interest of other CAGs before I picked it up. If there's enough, I'll make this the group thread, regardless of...
