Re: Source Of Quality Replacement Li-Ion Batteries?

These batteries seem to be the best deal I can find http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.6979. Anyone have personal experience with TrustFire batteries? The name is a bit disconcerting. I also found these http://www.batteryjunction.com/2600pcb-18650.html they're about twice as much but each bat...

MrAl: I knew I was missing something obvious, I should have paid better attention. I was adding the current in series, big mistake!

Re: USB gone awry

I think DVD+/-R's or an over the network transfer is the way to go. I'm sure there has to be a solution but it might not be worth your time or loss of hair to find it.

Re: USB gone awry

I've not run across an issue like this in my dealings with computers so I did some Googling to see what I could come up with. These results http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=xp+usb+drive+not+formatted+error seem to suggest that what you're experiencing is not an isolated incident. Unfortunate...

To me trying to clean an infection is not worth spending any money so I'll recommend a few free options. If you know your way around a computer I would boo...

I found this probe http://www.virtualvillage.com/100mhz-1x-and-10x-oscilloscope-probe/sku001482-001 which seems to be a great deal but I'm missing something it would seem. What does more money get you...
