    I need a multi-function laser printer

    I bought an MC 4800 - the hardware is great, and running costs for the laser are cheap. However, the driver software is horrible, and is VERY unreliable under XP Pro. Not sure if they made better s/w for the later models though.

    Computer maintenence

    I learnt this the hard way, back in the early 90's... Duplexing a drive system is common place, but depending on the configuration of the redundant drives, it may or may not be possible to recreate the contents of your data if one of the drives goes out. Not all RAID configurations are the...

    Computer maintenence

    I agree. Many old-timers were reluctant to upgrade to the new XP style, but newer software, hardware etc usually coerces you into it. That's the Microsoft way, and it's cleverly handled!

    Flat Panel Monitors

    Costco gives 6 months on computers, but it's not limited on other things, including monitors. The Sceptre (www.sceptre.com) is a good brand - see a review of their monitor at http://www.cheap-lcd-monitor.com/reviews/sceptre-x9g-review.htm

    Medical Insurance

    I think the comment from jrweiner is right on the money. Setting up a medical savings account (MSA) is very tax efficient. The money that goes into it is not taxed, and is used for smaller expenses, just like an employers medical flexible spending account. You then get a catastrophe...

    Trading is not a legitimate business!

    IMHO, as a physician, you might save a great deal by establishing a medical savings account. For healthy people, including families, the savings add up, compared to the endless out of pocket expenses. Flexible spending accounts help, but you have to get the amount right, otherwise you lose the...

    The British guy could not commit to a time on when the real-time data feed would work with the software, which did not make me comfortable. Are it's indicator systems valid as a predictive tool any more than other software out there?

    Which Mother Board is best?

    Agree with Nitro... built last two pc's with SuperMicro boards, never had any problems with the chipset, and the bios is easy to use, and configure. Intel boards are always good boards, but sometimes the 'smaller' makers get newest/latest technology out to the retail market quicker than the...

    Does cooking protect meat?

    The prion protein is actually made by every animal, but in a specific shape. What happens is that a mutated form (read=different shape) of the protein in diseased animals, causes the normal proteins in us, to change shape. Those changed ones build up, and cause the damage, ie. spongy type brain...
