My fine feathered friends . . . despite using a rebuilt PC , my log on time is near to ziltch because the connection gets dropped frequesntly . . not make that most of the time.

My point-- recommendations for a new PC brand, or feathures?? I have dial up so cant have everything.

I get mine built by Startech computers. http://www.startech.com/

There are several locations here in San Diego but I believe their main branch is in Colorado.

they can do High end Cad system as well as gaming systems. But they have anything you want any bell and whistle or can build anything as simply as you want.

For me I wanted an ssd drive instead of a hard drive. here the heat kills computers especially at my house so I got water cooled mother board... Havent needed it yet but it sucks when your computer goes down when it gets too hot.

SSD is a solid state drive just a big bank of memory chips... NO moving parts. But very reliable for storing info.

@Alaskan

You could probably swap Alaska for either France or Spain....

I dunno.... it bugs me that they say Africa is bigger than USA, and all this 'map illiteracy' stuff.... but show USA without Alaska..... you could argue that they don't have hawaii because it is so small you can't see it... but I pretty sure Alaska is big enough to see.

Alaska, that is because it is off the CA coast like you pointed out before!

but this is supposed to be about map literacy

and they are showing only the CONTIGUOUS USA!!!!
