Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    You'd have to send your computer in for repairs with Toshiba.
    Dell will either overnight you the part (ie a harddrive in my b/fs case) or come out and fix it within a day or two.

      I bought the Toshiba thinking it was cheaper and at the register I thought xxxx... warranty. When I added a warranty, the Dell was about the same price.
      I don't know where you bought your computer from, but when I bought my Toshiba, comparing its price (including extended warranty) with Dell's (including ext. warranty), the difference was more than $800 Canadian. I only got limited warranty with my Toshiba, but if I had gotten the 3 year warranty, it would've cost me $3200 (tax included), whereas the Dell cost me $4300 (no additional software included, tax included)..... and Dell was heavier and made more sounds..

        i don't think the dell would be over 4g's...I have 2 Dell desktops and the service, configuration, prompt supprt (which I only needed once a year ago for a new mouse) like its been said many times, Dell is good. I was about to buy a Dell Inspiron 9100 (3.2 ghz HT, 100gb hd, 1gb ram, wireless, 128mb video) it was about 3 grand with 3 year warranty...it's on ebay for about 2 grand brand new with the same warranty plus office pro.

        but again, nothing beats the apple powerbook...

        stay away from compaq/hp. cheaply made, and numerous callbacks...

        I've heard happy people with their Toshibas...

        I'd go: 1) Apple Powerbook 2) Dell 3) Toshiba...I also would stay away from buying it from a big retailer, the computers are loaded with crap that interfere with other programs, another good thing about Apple and Dell...no junk

          Actually, wrong. You will get home repair service the next day if you have standard warranty. If it's something that can be repaired, it will be done. If not, it will be replaced.

          They also have many types of warranty, including data recovery warranty, accidental damage coverage, etc.

              Anoybody have any thoughts on packard bell?
              If I get a warranty it will only be for one year. My thinking is if the harsdware is defective it will show up early. Anybody disagree?

              Also I should mention I plan on hooking the laptop to a cellphone for occasional internet use.

                  The only time I have to reboot my Dell Latitude laptop is when I install a new patch or something from windows update. It has never crashed and works like a champ. I use it on a daily basis. It's big, heavy, bulky, but the batteries last a long time (more than 6 hours) and it's got a 14" screen. Best of all, intel gave it to me for free as part of a fellowship

                    IBM is good too!

                    Here's my top 3:

                    1) Toshiba
                    2) IBM
                    3) Dell (if I really can't buy Toshiba or IBM for some reason)..

                      packard bell got bought out a long time ago by compaq...IBM is mainly for business, I know of a couple people who are not happy with the IBMs...

                      Go with Dell, if you want a good deal go thru ebay and make sure the seller has a high rating and only do the transaction thru paypal...let me know if you want links of some good auctions on some kick aas units...

                      Again, nothing beats the Powerbook

                      But dont be in a rush, the new generations of laptops are just coming out i think...
