Re: 12VDC fan driven by 120VAC...

Here in Tennessee, new construction the neutral and ground are not connected. Old constructions are as you stated. I know a swimming pool builder that says this is causing a lot of problems.

Re: cannot get usb to LPT adaptor to work.

Tiger Direct has a Sabrent cable item# M501-1058. I think it is now own sale for $8.00. There are 280 reviews for this cable. Some good some bad. Some that did not work out of the box tell what they did to get it working.

Re: Ni Cad battery packs to Ni-MH

Thanks everyone. I sent 3 18 volts Black & Decker packs to Prime Cell in PA.
I went with the high capacity ni-cads due to being less costly. Got them back this morning.
Cost was $156.00 including return shipping. Put one of them in a blower and it was ready to go.
Thanks again

Re: CD Burner for DOS

I tried several of the programs from both web sites. They will work from the DOS mode if you have windows on the computer. They will not work if you have DOS 6.22 on the computer alone. Trying to run on a DOS computer will result in the error message: this program cannot be run in DOS mode.

Re: CD Burner for DOS

Thanks for the link. I went there and down loaded 2 versions of the program. I am going to try the older one first as the only thing I want to do is copy data to a CD.
thanks again

Could the switch be bad and the motor is trying to run in both directions at the same time?

emachines computers

Are the emachines computers any good. I have heard that Acer has bought them. Walmart has 2 models EL1331G-01W and ET1331G-03W. Each one comes with windows 7 home premium. My cousin needs a new computer to use with Comcast internet service.
