Qosmio X770-11C - good or bad experience?

As a fan of Toshiba products (after my two Toshiba PC’s: protege M200, Satellite A200-1DS), I have decided to by a more performance one.
So I bought Toshiba Qosmio X770-11C, I was satisfied by the high performances, as I'm using matlab and 3dsmax.
Then after 7 months I have started to see blue screens;
I thought that may be with window 8 the problems will be resolved, unfortunately not….
Calling Toshiba, they have repaired it (when I received it, stating windows… blue screen again…
so I don’t know what they have repaired…..!!!)
Calling them again, for many times, at last after 3 months and half they send UPS to repair it… till now my PC is at toshiba to be repaired…
For me it is a good luck with toshiba: I bought my PC .. I used it for 7 months… then.. I’m in stand by… :(
I think this will be my last Toshiba PC…
Unfortunately I loved their products before, so I’m looking now for Lenovo, any one has an idea about the performances of such pc’s.?

Sorry to read all this. Qosmio series is best Toshiba multimedia machine but it was always too expensive for me so Im user of Satellite P series. Ai still use my Satellite P500 in hope Toshiba will offer again one big P series again. I love 18,4 display.
I dont know which BSOD have you noticed (error code) and what can be the reason. Have you tried to reinstall recovery image and test functionality with factory settings again?
I rally hope you will get your Qosmio soon and everything will be OK again.

  • Pro Applications Update 2008-01    Good or Bad experiences ?

    Hi Guys,
    Who's up dated to the - Pro Applications Update 2008-01
    and have their been benefits or issues ?
    Cheers
    Tom K

    Everything is up to day via software update:
    LiveType 2.1.3
    FCP 6.0.3
    QT 7.4.5
    OS X 10.4.11 (Can't run Leopard on either of my Mac Pros (G5 Quad and Intel 2.66 2x core-duo) because I run ProTools on both (TDM on the Intel, LE on the G5)
    I mostly use the second internal drive for video stuff, but I have three FW-800 drives for backing up older projects, DVD images, etc.
    My test was pretty simple: in Livetype, I typed in some text which took three lines, applied various textures to a separate track and to the matte; put in some "live fonts," do some fade effects. I did this on both a regular NTSC SD project and a HD (ProRes 422) 1920x1080 project. It all works, rendered OK, exported, etc. I put the resulting video files through compressor to create SD MPEG2 files and they worked, too.
    I've been using 6.0.3 pretty extensively for a project (two hour movie of a play), and again, it all seems to work just fine. The long standing problem with some HDV not "conforming" correctly (exceedingly blocky video in places) has NOT been resolved with the update; the same time line rendered and exported as ProRes 422 is just fine, so it is an HDV issue.

  • Qosmio X770-11C white screen

    Laptop starts up normally and I enter my password and the pages loads normally however after seeing all my desktop icons load on the screen then goes to a blank toshiba screen and a box appears and asks for a video capture Device - whatever option I try including cancelling the box the screen then goes white
    The only way to do anything then is to ctrl/altgr/del and shut it down
    help ????? Anyone ????

    It doesn't sound like anything pointing to someone having hacked into your computer. You could try using a clean boot.
    How can I perform a clean startup of Windows 7 without my startup items to troubleshoot a problem?
    However, this is the Toshiba USA forums. You could check the Toshiba Europe forums.

  • Qosmio X770-11C - how to disable on board speakers when using Line Out?

    Hi,
    Is there any way to disable on board speakers when the line out is used.
    Currently if I plug in a cable to the hadphone socket and choose lineout on the realtek control panel, the sound is output to the line out as expected but also through the internal speakers.
    Is there any way to stop this, and only have sound going out through the line out?
    thanks
    Graeme

    If you want to hear sound on headset only you must choose Headphone option.
    Disconnect cable and connect it again. When you see small window on the screen where you can choose between headphone and line out options choose headphone and you will hear sound on external device only.
    In case you have disabled this popup dialog you can activate it manually. Open Realtek manager connect external device and when you see activated black point on the right side make double click there and change settings.

  • Qosmio x770 nvidia and battery software

    Hello.
    I've got a qosmio x770 model PSBY5U (Windows7, 64bits) and suddenly I've noticed that my nvidia hardware (GTX560M) was not listed in the device manager lists. Before I've noticed, I've got some blue screens of death (most of them, after coming back from "sleeping" mode).
    First thing I thought about, the driver. Looked for the most updated driver and it couldnt find any hardware to work with. So I restored the whole system and installed the original drvier. So far it was all good and back to normal but after I installed all my software back and after several rebooting, the nvidia was gone again and after sleeping the machine and starting it again, another blue screen.
    I decided on restoring the qosmio to its total factory state, did everything all over again (drivers and stuff), worked just fine and after several normal shut downs it dissapeared again, and so on. 
    Any idea of what is going on? Also, starting from these, I've noticed that the "eco utility" doesn't work anymore. When active,  my battery drains very fast (it's not the battery). and these started to happen as soon as the nvidia problem started. While just the system restored, the eco utility works just fine, after the nvidida dissapears, it doesn't economized the battery. Any idea?
    Thank's a lot!
    PS. Excuse my bad english. Not an english speaker.

    If something you're installing is interfering, try using System Restore to restore a previous restore point from before this became an issue.
    Install software one at a time to determine which program is causing the problem.

  • Qosmio X770-13H loose power cord

    Hi!
    I recently bought a Qosmio X770-13H, and so far everything has been working great (apart from playing 3D movies, but that's another story). There's a minor/slight annoyance and worry about this laptop, however. The power cord doesn't seem to tighten where it enters the laptop, and it's very easy to wiggle. This leads to the power cord falling out of the laptop very often.
    Right now it's not too much of a problem, however in the long run I worry that this will become a huge problem, as this most likely will wear on the socket. Is this a normal flaw with these laptops or is there something wrong with mine?
    Thanks!

    The Power cord should not be loose when plugged in the laptop. Although i have a different model X770-11C and not your X770-13H , i am pretty sure that it must NOT be loose.
    Asked Toshiba in 2 countries and i had the same answer so i give it to you here.
    When you plug in the power cord it should be firm and not loose. So in your case you probably have to take it back for a replacement or a fix from your dealer.
    Good luck, i don't think it will be hard to fix this.

  • Best Buy Smash Preorder Bad Experience

    I sent the following email to Best Buy regarding my bad experience when I went to pickup my Super Smash preorder. After hours of being on hold and being transferred to countless different people, the final explanation I was given is that Best Buy can at any time cancel a pre-order, so I had no recourse. Here is the original email I sent:
    "I was writing to make bestbuy aware of a very unfortunate situation that I encountered tonight at my local best buy (Las Vegas, NV, Summerlin location). I preordered the $99.99 bundle of Smash Brothers Wii U in store, putting $5 down to reserve a copy. I have my best friend in town tonight to play Smash this weekend, so I was really excited to get off work and go grab my copy. Unfortunately, once I got to best buy, they told me that they sold my copy to someone else accidentally and that they didn't know if they would ever get another shipment. They offered me no recourse except to wait and see if another shipment came in. After driving around for a couple hours I finally found a place that still had a bundle and purchased it. It was a horrible experience and makes me regret becoming part of Best Buys gamer club. I would have gotten 20% off at Best Buy with my Gamers Club Unlocked Membership, but I had to get it at Fry's instead and paid full price. I tried to find it at another Best Buy but all of the ones in Vegas were sold out. 
    I would appreciate if Best Buy would, at a minimum, refund 1.) the $5 preorder I put down on the game and; 2.) the $20 discount that I missed out on with my Gamers Club membership because I had to go purchase it at Fry's. I have usually had good experiences with best buy, but this one has really soured me on buying my games at Best Buy and would hope that you guys would make sure something like this doesn't happen in the future. Preordering games is to ensure that you get a copy when it comes out, it is not a source for free money for Best Buy. I can provide any documentation you need and I look forward to hearing from you."
    After talking to many different associates for countless hours I am done trying to get anything for this nonsense. The last person I talked to told me to put down the full money instead of $5 next time and this might not happen. Best Buy has lost a loyal customer because of their policy.

    Hi Vote4link,
    As a Super Smash Bros fan myself, it’s truly disheartening to read of your pre-order experience. Having a friend in town to play over the weekend, only to find out that your copy isn’t available at our store, is understandably frustrating and I’m very sorry if that is what happened here. While it sounds like you found another option to acquire the game, I regret hearing that it wasn’t at Best Buy!
    Like zztoluca said, if you pre-ordered and your copy arrived at the store, it should have been held for you. If this didn’t occur, it was a store error and this is the last thing we want for our gamers, especially those who are members of Gamers Club Unlocked. With that, your $5 deposit will automatically be refunded to you if you don’t fulfill your pre-order within eight days if it was created on BestBuy.com, five days if created in-store.
    I’d like to ensure your feedback is seen by leadership at the store, so if willing, please send me a private message and include either your BestBuy.com order number, or the Customer Service PIN located on the bottom of your in-store pre-order receipt. You can send me a private message by clicking the link in my signature.
    Thanks for sharing your concerns with us and despite the circumstances, I hope you’ve been enjoying Super Smash Bros.

  • Bad experience with Verizon Fios Internet and Customer Service

    I had an extremely bad experience with Verizon Fios Internet service and I will never use Verizon again. 
    In August 2014, I called and installed the Verizon Fios Internet and phone bundle. I asked the customer agent several times if I will be charged anything before the installation of the Internet and phone service. She said, 'No, we will only start charging after the Internet and phone are installed at your apartment'. I went to the store and picked up the router and phone and installed it at home by myself. The router did not work. I called Tech support and they said it will take several days for another available agent to come and look into the issue. I decided to discontinue the service and closed the account that same night.
    At the end of the month, I received a bill of $80 of activation fee for the internet service. Nothing was ever activated, my internet router did not work, and I got charged an activation fee for a service that I did not even start using. From August to December, I called customer service over 10 times and some of them said they will waive it while the others said it's a non-refundable activation fee. One lady said, 'Ma'am, the activation fee starts when you placed the order, the warehouse received it and packed the router in the boxes....' Isn't that ridiculous? If that's the case, please ask all your customer representative to say a clause before new customers open their account: Are you aware that you will be charged a non-refundable activation fee once you open the account regardless of whether or not you use the service or not. 
    So after 3 months (November 2014), I decided to get out of all these troubles and paid off my $80 activation fee. They put the bill in the collection agency and I called them and paid the overdue balance. Then in December 2014, I received a statement saying I have a $3.11 overdue balance. The collection agency told me that they will charge me for the whole activation fee and a $3 transaction fee for the transaction. So now Verizon came back and said I owed them the $3 because I paid the collection agency their transaction fee. 
    I am very disappointed and furious about the whole Verizon operating system. Charging a customer for an activation fee for a service s/he has not consumed or used does not make any business sense. In addition, they do not know how to coordinate with the collection agency on overdue bills. Give the customer a heads-up that they will be charged a transaction fee on top of the overdue balance, and that transaction fee does not count towards clearing the balance. 
    I have completely lost my confidence in Verizon albeit the many good feedback from my friends. 

    Hi crystallau52,
    Sorry you are having difficulty. An agent with access to your account will reach out to you directly by email, private message in the Forums and/or the billing telephone number on your Verizon account for more information or to help you resolve your issue.

  • Qosmio X770: 4 nVidia HD audio devices in device manager

    So i have a few questions...
    In my device manager i have [this (screenshot)|http://i.imgur.com/NfH5E7p.jpg].
    So i have (!) 4 nvidia hd audio and 1 hd realtek audio.
    I usually update my nvidia video driver and nvidia hd audio driver is updated every time with it.
    But not long ago i decided to find any other updates to my drivers, cause bloody toshiba (we call it that way in Russia) is too lazy to support their laptops. And [found this:(realtek hd R2.70 codec driver )|http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level= 4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false].
    Installed it, everything is working fine so far. It is for realtek alc269 (and also many other devices, but for us only alc269 matters) which is the real name of realtek hd audio device in x770 laptops (i checked in program aida64, previously known as everest).
    So now i have [this (screenshot)|http://i.imgur.com/6HM5mLj.jpg]: version 6.0.1.6662 date 19.06.2012
    The previous version that lazy toshiba was glad to provide us with - 6.0.1.6360 [(screenshot)|http://i.imgur.com/dUQiPA0.jpg]
    So the questions are:
    1. Why i have FOUR nvidia hd audio devices in device manager?
    2. How can i make nvidia hd audio my primary audio device? Or maybe they are some kind of virtual devices or smth like that.
    3. Do you think the idea of installing driver directly from realtek website was bad? There is a disclaimer on their site: To be sure you obtain the full features/customizations provided in your original audio product, please download the latest drivers from your system/motherboard manufacturer's website.
    So i invite everyone to test this audio driver with me :)
    And a few more things.
    In one topic i found this info: moreover, myself and other users of this forum have overclocked their cards from 657/1300/1200 to 800/900/1600 and are very pleased with the results, so try not to overexaggerate
    (it is a quote). So I will be happy if someone gives me link to some kind of manual about overclocking 560m gt from our beloved x770.
    Also I found a lot of topics about nvidia drivers with angry customers. I don't remember when i first updated video drivers, but i've never had problems with them. When the situation changed? As far as i can understand in 2011 you could't install nvidia drivers directly from nvidia website.
    P.S. sorry for my english, i'm from Russia. Also there is some russian on screenshots, hope it won't make your eyes bleed.

    At first i want to "thank" moderator about renaming my topic. Original name was: realtek vs nvidia hd audio x770 + update r2.70 question. Where is 2.70 part in the current name? Ok.
    Second. To Tonny: I'm not lame user, no need to explain me obvious things).
    > {quote:title=Tonny wrote:}{quote}
    > > How can i make nvidia hd audio my primary audio device?
    > I dont understand why you want to make an device primary?
    > What is the purpose for that?
    >
    > If you want you can set the sound devices as default device in Control Panel -> Sound -> Playback tab
    > Click on the device and choose default.
    If there is nvidia hd audio device and it's not some kind of virtual device or controller, i want to test it like primary audio device. Simple curiosity. I love flac etc.,
    So I always try to improve sound. And alc269 we have in x770 is also installed in my ANCIENT asus eee pc, so it's very depressing. Also your advice about control panel - sound is not working, i think you know why... There's only speaker device working on realtek hd audio.
    > {quote:title=Tonny wrote:}{quote}
    > You can use the driver from Realtek since the sound chip is from Realtek.
    Yep, of course, but it's my 5th laptop and also i have 2 netbooks (i'm speaking only about portative devices, not pc). I tried to update drivers manually numerous times on my previous devices, and I learned a lesson, that if you install new driver (not from you laptop/whatever support page, but directly from device manufacter's website ) and even if you are absolutely sure that driver is compatible with you device there can be problems. For example, as i've already said realtek alc269 is installed in my qosmio x770 and in my super old asus eee pc. And driver is the same.
    Also realtek driver support page has disclaimer: To be sure you obtain the full features/customizations provided in your original audio product, please download the latest drivers from your system/motherboard manufacturer's website. (already was in op-post).
    So I only tried to hear from those who has already installed r2.70 realtek update or maybe tested it some way. But the moderator made it impossible renaming the topic.

  • Thinkpad W520/T61p Bad experience

    I am sharing this story in retrospect of the events.  I posted this on a popular tech blog on a thread discussing bad experience with different computer companies and I decided why not post it here as well.  I am still grieving over my dead T61p as it still is prominently placed on my desk even after it has been dead for a few months.  I loved it more than my current computer, don’t get me wrong I like my W520 and it destroys it spec wise but for some reason I like the T61p the best.    
    So, a few months ago my Thinkpad T61p's graphics card died thus making my computer useless.  The funny thing is that 4 months prior my card had been found to be a defect from the nVidia defective cards and was replaced for no cost, and they even cleaned and repaired minor wear and tear things. I was ecstatic when I got it back and it was running better than ever and looked as good as it did brand new.  But then 4 months later, while coming to an end of an architectural college project my graphics card died. Same as before (BIOS beeps indicating that there was a graphics card issue).
     I called and got a response that my computer was out of warranty and it sucks to suck.  Finally after the 4th or 5th time I finally got someone that was kind enough to try and help.  She was very helpful and found out that there is a 3 month warranty on replaced parts and she was sorry that she could not help me out since I was ONE month over it.
    Saddened and distraught, I started looking for new computers since the replacement cost a lot an might as well get a new machine since there was the risk that the new graphics card might die as well.  So, when looking into computers, I have always liked the sturdy build of Thinkpads and minus the graphics card issue (which I marked as an nVidia issue) my computer had been fantastic, much better than my peer’s computers.  So I decided to give Lenovo another shot and get a W520.  I was excited to renew my trust in Lenovo.
    This was quickly brought to an end as I eagerly awaited my machine.  I needed it as I had a college project to complete and I hated borrowing computers and having to have my files float on different USBs. I was watching the shipping and all of a sudden it goes from Kentucky to North Carolina.  This confused me as I am in Nebraska.  Then the next day, it is UPS has it marked as out for delivery.  I thought that there was an error in location and waited for it to be delivered. There was no error in location and it was delivered and signed by Jon Doe in North Carolina.  I was baffled. I called Lenovo and the guy was not helpful at all.  I then called again right after hanging up because I needed an answer as to what was going on.  The person told me that it was Lenovo's warehouse and they were holding it.  I got no answer as to why.  But the person told me that it was going to ship out to me the next day.  Three days later and still in NC, and I call again.  I get the same answer that it will be shipping soon.  A few more days later, I finally get someone nice and she gave me the new tracking number over the phone.  It finally moved from NC to Nebraska, slowly.  It must have been on the Pony Express.  I called to see if it could be sped up but to no avail. 
    So, over a week after it should have arrived I finally obtained my computer.  It was aggravating since every day without it was one I couldn't work fully on my project.  I tried contacting higher up customer service but got nothing and gave up just glad to have my computer.  I have referred many people to purchace Thinkpads.  My entire large family owns a Lenovo variant because of me. And I'm still a little bitter about the whole issue.  Being the computer savvy person people come to me for advice and now I'm beginning to refer people to other brands as options for them to buy.          

    I don't really understand the complaint in this thread.  Is the main complaint shipment tracking?  If so, see UPS.  Yes, their system isn't the best.  One of the reasons is that it literally makes up progress based on what should happen, not what is actually happening.  Sounds like some of that was at work here.
    Because of the title, I thought you were going to compare the T61p to the W520 but that doesn't seem to be the case.  If it's just a shipping thread, meh.  Get over it.  Trying to track a package will drive you mad.  Just be glad it didn't come USPS.
    If your real beef is that you lost money due to the delay, sorry man but the best way to lay your hands on a machine in an emergency situation like that is to buy at retail in your geo.  Or rent something until your ship comes in.  Rolling the dice on a CTO is a crap shoot.

  • Migrating assistant good or bad

    Hi guys...
    This is my first post so be gentle... I just have a small question for you guys and girls... what is your view on the migrating assistant, is it good or bad... i have heard someone saying that it migrates some files over that mess up your system... and if it does how do i know which to delete.. and second of all can you choose exactely what to bring over or does it just take everything... is targetdisk mode a better option... maybe a bit more timeconsuming but safer...?? Please give me your opinions... Thanks... ohh forgot to say, reason why im asking is that im planning on buying the infamous MBP..
      Mac OS X (10.4.6)  
    ibook g4 1.33   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Really want MBP

    I would say that this is a WARNING [capital letters - if you can't tell already ;- ) ]
    My friend - who is a computer tech [Mac & PC] since the Apple II days. For all of you that don't know - that is 30 years ago. He bought his first BRAND NEW computer ever - yesterday - A MacBook Pro 2.16 w/ 7200RPM HD [off the shelf at a local Apple store]. He has made a LOT of money from repairing computers - he didn't have to buy this MacBook, because he has EVERYTHING else - he bought it because the MBP represented the ability to have the Mac OS + WIN XP on the same machine. And also - his clients were asking questions about the MBP, and he had to know - first hand, what they were about.
    He used the migration assistant to transfer his files from his PowerBook G4 - 17" [1.67MHz] - and there was disasterous consequences! After the transfer - the new MBP wouldn't boot to the desktop - until several restarts later. Finally when he could - there was some very weird stuff going on.
    1. No Airport recoginition
    2. Screen stayed on full bright [couldn't be dimmed]
    3. His BlueTooth cellphone would shut off [I know - this is crazy - but it is true, the MBP somehow killed the cellphone connection!]
    4. Kernel panics - [many]
    He [with 30 years experience] promptly returned the MBP to the Apple store - and showed it to the "Genius" - who immediately gave him a brand new one.
    He [or the "genius"] never had any reason to doubt the "integrity" of the "Migration Assistant". My friend thought that his MBP was defective - and the Apple "Genius" thought the same thing.
    So - he took it [the new one] home - and used the "Migration Assistant" again - and the exact same thing happened!
    Finally - he just decided to re-install the whole operating system [clean install] - and now everything is fine.
    If I were you - I wouldn't trust the "Migration Assistant".

  • Qosmio X770-13G - Slow WLan internet connection

    Dear all,
    I just bought a Qosmio X770-13G with Windows 7.
    WIFI data transfer is very slow, even when using a high speed AP (tried it on more than one location) and after disabling the anti-virus program.
    Using the Config Free program shows 6Mbps second download speed but even downloading a 4 Mb PDF file takes several minutes.
    Updating the BIOS software and the WLAN driver did not help.
    Does anybody have the same experience?
    Thanks in advance,
    John

    Yes, it does. And a new development yesterday evening shed new light on this problem: In addition to using a couple of known AP's I tried connecting to new AP's. Result: a data transfer speed as expected. So it seems I dont have to look into faulty hardware but into connection problems with certain AP's. I guess my original problem (suspicion of faulty hardware) is no longer an issue. Thanks for the reply.

  • Qosmio X770 - cant choose Built-In 3D-Emitter

    Hey guys i just recently bought the Qosmio X770 with integrated NVIDIA 3d Vision, but when i want to enable 3D i cant choose Built-In 3d-Emitter because it doesnt show up only for the other 3D Kits.
    I upgraded from Home Premium to Ultimate by the way.
    Any Help?

    The model is X770-11C, and it does have an internal emitter. As you said it is on the right side of the webcam. After all 3D was working about a year ago when I got the PC.
    Unfortunately the manuals from NVidia don't give very much help either.
    This is what I try to do:
    - activate 3D Vision
    - I get 4 choices
    USB-infrared emitter and glasses
    wired glasses
    Pro-hub and glasses
    Discover glasses
    I'm not sure which one is the right one for my glasses, the type is P854. Looks like pro-hub according to the picture.
    After choosing them the next screen says that I should plugin the emitter into the usb hub. That's where I have to stop installation.

  • Re: Qosmio X770 and Windows XP64bit

    Hi there,
    I recently bought one new Toshiba Qosmio X770, but unfortunately it came with this new Windows 7.
    I have 2 other toshiba notebooks, one is a NB200 Netbook with WinXP32bits running nicely about 1 year or more, and another big one Satellite P300 also with XP32bits.
    All the softwares that I need - are running extremly good, without any conflicts, for more than a year!
    But something is bothering me: After ripping of the HD from this new Qosmio X770, and trying to install Windows XP 64bits, Ive found that theres no, or anykind of support to such drivers from Toshiba.
    I downloaded many drivers from the 3rd party hardware manufacturers, but only a phew worked.
    Now I have this big, powerful computer, expensive, without any softwares (because, when I try to install any software that I already own, into the original Win7 64bits, it says that its incompatible, or you need to buy another version, and so on...)
    My point is: Im not going to buy upgrades or other software just because some dumb Engineer built an entire new OS that requires entire new softwares, entire new Drivers, and so on. This is madness!
    What should I do with this X770?
    Im not going to throw it away, but you Toshiba Enginheers, should make Compatible drivers, at least for the Windows XP 64bits / 32bits.
    Im not going to put this crapy Windows 7, just because someone at Microsoft wants that. I have my right to still use my usefull softwares and my Windows XP, wich works incredibly more smooth, uses less memory and works well than Win7.
    Many thanks for the support.
    Daniel.

    Windows 7 => Windows XP 64bits with some fancy and diferent colors. Look at the Control Panel on the classic view, its the same as Windows XP! The main difference is that there are some few new items.
    The Windows Kernel hasnt changed much since Windows XP, the main key is the memory addressing that really needs to be rebuild, due to additional 32bit addressing (64bit processors). But the base still the same, just a recompiled Windows XP.
    The madness here is that every single year we are forced to buy software... Do you really need to spent money? Its like burning money: you already have something working (like Office 2003... it works even better than Office 2010... they changed only the menus, but the rest still the same) why buy something that has just changed the name and added some fancy buttons? this is like burning money...
    I know that we are year 2011, but lets look for something that has more than 100 years but the concept still the same and we still use it today: AC Three-phase induction motors - It works very well, requires very low or no maintenance at all, and delivers a nice and stable function - generating torque as long as the power supply is running ok. Theres another example: Radio FM / AM - the same as above. Combustion Engine - same as the above;
    All Software should be made focused on the last longing utility - Software that will run 100 years, but will run extremly fast on 100 years Computers ..., than on fancy buttons or something like that.
    Oh, btw, im still waiting, after about 2 hours, the finishing of SP1 Win7 install...
    Im planning to test onto another harddisk, the installation of Windows XP 32bits on this computer :D
    Hope to find 32bit driver somewhere...
