Everyone here still alive? Stilll with ur 505 I see. Still using my 650mhz Z505. The only thing am complainig these days are the new flash contents, and some...
Alive, yes. Using my 505s - not so much. The 505G has been too slow for most things I do for work for a while now, so I passed it on to my nephew. I've still...
... I finally retired my Z505-JSK a few months ago after the latch broke. I decided I'd rather have a built-in DVD drive for traveling and that ruled out the...
... Ordered directly from Sony Direct Accessories and Parts Center. The actual broken part was the housing (bezel). The "Files" area of this group has "VAIO...
... Most of the TZs come with a built-in DVD burner (mine does). Only the $3000+ top-of-the-lin models don't have one - they have a 250GB hard drive in the bay...

Love my 505LS -Couple of months ago I upgraded it to XP and 120 gig HD with Office 2003. No issues! Haul it around everywhere. It does everything I need...
I got an AUSUS eeepc 900 when they first came out. It runs Linux. My 505TR is in Japan, but when I go back in August, I will bring it back, put in a new HD...
... I've read a lot about the Asus on the notebook forums - it's one of the chief rivals to the TZ, but I like the familiar VAIO experience. The SSDs are great...
eeepc? Bah. I have my 10 year old n505x with the HD replaced with a cheap CF->IDE adapter and a 4GB compact flash 'solid state disk'. Been running solidly and...
... There is no comparison, as far as price goes. the ASUS is under $500.00 ... The main advantage is running the operating system off the SSD. Boots up...
... Does it boot off the flash drive? How do you set it up? Would usb work? Buy.com is selling USB 4gb really cheap. I would like to set it up with my...
... You misunderstand - It doesn't use USB. I took the back off the machine, took out the hard drive, and put in a CF->IDE adapter and a Compact Flash card -...

My 505 has retired to a well deserved rest, and I have upgraded to a TZ2000. Anyone know of a group similar to this one (Yahoo, or otherwise) that tracks my...
I'm too much of a cheapskate to retire thin machine yet! I've installed XP and any available bios updates. I've got 192mb of total ram, but suspect that I can...
