Ok. Next on the list. A 200GB SATA drive formatted and tested.

What was the last computer photo I put up on Vogons with Skeletor on the screen?

First right answer gets the drive. Guess every 10 minutes. Lower 48 states only please.

Received the wireless card today, works without issues (my ASUS laptop requires a pin to be disabled for Bluetooth to get detected), but, no Bluetooth. However, the speed is a lot better than it was. Thank you, man.

That's true for a lot of laptops including mine. I just put a piece of scotch tape over the appropriate pin, insert the card and then Bluetooth works perfect. I use sewing scissors and cut a very thin small piece of tape.

Thanks for the tip. I put a tiny piece of scotch tape over pin 51 and it now has Bluetooth. This will be a big YouTube video overview and review for this card. I'm really happy that it works. Thanks again! 😁

Anyone in Long Island? I'm moving and I can't hold onto my NEC Multisync XP17. It's a really nice CRT from 1994 with BNC + VGA. Have the original box too... free but just pick up only. I'm close to Huntington, if that helps.
