Re: Newegg tries to 'open box' scam Gamer's Nexus
I stopped buying from them really when they merged with some Chinese company. Never were the same since. Slow shipping and service slumped. I wouldn't buy an open box anything.

Re: Verizon SMS No Longer Supports KitKat?
Well that is the thing, there isn't always updates. I am sure it was just temporary though. They always like taking the easy way out.

Re: How to pick the best gaming laptop for MS-DOS games
Always nice for these games of the era to get one of the Soundblaster 16 for those later ones for the best compatibility. Sadly most DOS games didn't interest me. Having consoles was surely an influence on that.

Re: Turn old laptops in Chromebooks

Seeing how I would have to go across a bridge that is 3 miles long and then someone to get to the closest store, that is definitely not acceptable.
