You can buy service in increments of 100 MB ($10), 250 MB ($20), 600 MB ($40), or 1 GB ($60) in the form of Virgin Mobile’s popular Top-Up cards (or with your credit card). Once activated, your megabytes must be used within 30 days (or 10 days for the 100 MB option).

With my middle aged eyes, reading comics on my 22 inch LCD monitor required too much effort so I began to look f ...

Review: Brother QL-500 EC Complete Labeling Kit
By gmon3 on 5/29/2007
In the past, I have bought a lot of computer equipment and many of them came with a mail-in rebate.  I always hated filling out the rebate forms and hand writing the addresses on the envelopes.  I thought about buying labels for my ink jet printer but the ones I've seen usually come in a sheet and are therefore inconvenient when you only one to print out one label.

So, when Staples had a sale on the Brother QL-500 Label Printer, I just had to try it out!

Review: IOGEAR GCS1764 4-Port DVI KVMP Switch
By gmon3 on 5/25/2007
KVM Switches allow you to reduce desk clutter by sharing a single keyboard, monitor and mouse among mutliple computers.  The IOGear GCS1764 is a 4 port DVI KVM switche that also features independent USB and audio switching.

Even though LCD monitors with DVI inputs are widespread now, there are not a lot of choices for DVI KVM switches.  Out of the few choices out there, the IOGear GCS1764 seemed to offer most of the features I wanted:

Dual function KVMP/USB switch
One console controls 4 computers
Independent (asynchronous) switching of KVM and peripheral USB/audio ports
Fully compliant with the USB 1.1 specification - supports transfer rates of up to 12 Mbps
DVI digital and analog monitor support - fully compliant with the DVI specifications
Computer selection via front panel ...
