  • Can I replace my old computers IDE drive with a SATA drive?

    I've got an older Dell (Optiplex G200) that I use to run Ubuntu Linux. I'm running an older version and want to upgrade, but the latest versions won't install because I don't enough disk space. I'm looking to install a big drive (terabyte?) but the large drives are all SATA and my system is currently IDE.

    Is upgrading as simple as plugging in a SATA controler card, plugging in the drive, and installing the software, or is it going to be more involved than that?

  • Has anyone dealt with this: Microsoft Word won't show any fonts in the dropdown except 3 default device fonts.

    I'm running Office 2000 on Win XP. The drop down font list in Word will only show 3 default device fonts. Excel will show the whole list, so at least part of Office knows where they are. Is there a registry entry that is messed up? I've already done a deinstall/reinstall on Office so we can skip that step.

  • Why is it always a car?

    Have any of you noticed that people who are trying to turn their headlights on as they approach the speed of light are always driving a car? It's never a bike, motorcycle, or locomotive. Is there are reason for that? Are all these people trying to replicate the same experiment?
