Logitech Cordless Elite

I heard a lot of good things about this wireless keyboard/mouse set so when CompUSA had it on sale for $50 I went for it. Maybe its just me or the fact that i havn't downloaded the latest drivers but it seems like crap.

Others must have run into this issue: Server is set up using the Domain name company1. company. com Then they develop a web site hosted at but the local DNS server won't let any local users find it.

The moment - ATI or Nvidia?

jdulmage

I've been researching this for a while now, so I don't really need any technical information on this, just some thoughts from various mature, professional tech users. I'm used to the ati sucks and nvidia sucks and I just can't stand it and need a real response on this from users with the experience.
