  • Credit Score: debt to credit ratio, multiple cards, one card, or does it matter?

    I am trying to determine if my debt to credit ratio is based on all of my revolving credit or per card or if there is another formula for calculating this.

    I have 3 credit cards with relatively low limits. 2 with $5000 and 1 with $1500.

    The catch is that the $1500 has the best rewards for using it. We use almost all of it and pay it in full every two weeks.

    Assuming that I have a balance of $1400 when they forward my information to the credit agencies, is my debt to credit ratio

    1400/1500 = 93%

    or

    1400/11500 = 12%

    Thanks!

  • Which car should I get?

    I am a man in my 40's and I am going to buy a new car this weekend. I am torn between the comfort of a Toyota Avalon and the power of a Nissan Maxima. I want to spend between 40 and 50k. What are your thoughts? Also... married - no kids.

  • smoked meat safety (ribs/chicken)?

    I am new to smoking meat. I have cooked ribs before in it at 200 degrees for 6.5 hours and they turned out great. This time, however, the flame went out for about an hour near the beginning of the cook and the temp got down to just 100 degrees. I am cooking both pork ribs and chicken breast. Do these need to be thrown out?

  • Vista or XP for graphics software?

    I have hardware that requires a parallel port (a usb converter won't work) and will only work on a 32 bit sytem. For that reason I am using a 2.8ghz Dell Dimension 3000. I have 2 gigs of ram (max) . My hardware is not supported after Vista. I use graphics software such as Corel Draw and Photoshop CS2 and things are pretty slow.

    Would downgrading to XP get me better speed??

  • I am trying to upgrade my computer that needs a dongle and think that maybe 64 bit system is the problem.?

    I am using an Industrial embroidery machine. The dongle came with it. It was made to use on windows 98. Patches were offered through XP. When I asked them about Vista/Windows 7 they said that they would work but only i I could find one with a parallel port. They said specifically that you could not use a 64 bit OS. When I bought the new computer I erased the drive (windows 7 64 bit) and put vista 32 on it. I bought a USB-Parallel adaptor and it did not work. (I also tried installing a card with no luck)

    Here is the big question... does the fact that the new computer has a 64 bit processor affect a dongle? (even if using a 32 bit OS)

    Even more important - does anyone have any advice how to make this work. It is making me crazy. They want to charge another $1k for more software.

    I qualify for the FHA loan from what I have read. Are they all the same rate? If so where do I get that rate. I didn't see it at bankrate.com.

  • Copyright question regarding sports teams?

    I have an embroidery business. I make blankets with pictures and peoples names on it.

    I know that I can put "Go Seattle" on the blanket

    Can I put "Go Mariners?" "Seattle Mariners" "Ichiro #51"

    Can I use the team colors?

    How about the font?
