If my work gets done on 5 year old PC why change it??


also I know few organisations where they still use DOS just because it gets their work done.

i agree with u adya. i still use dos for my tally pacakge as that is what is given to us by our ca and it works well for us.

Be sure to enable time-shift feature & then you have your own TiVo!

as for DVD writter go for DVD+/-RW as it won't cause you compatiblity problems

Hey Adya, where in Pune can I lay my hands on that TV tuner card you guys are talking about? Can I get one for my Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop? What will it set me back by?

@camry and Aditya, for all your hardware requirements, make sure to check out Sujata at Nal Stop. It always had everything that I asked for, and that too at most reasonable prices. (No! I don't know its owner, neither do I get referral commission )

I bought Firewire card at Rs.750/- which other petty computer shops did not have or were offering at more than Rs.1250/-.

You cant install a TV tuner card in a laptop unless its been provided by DELL ... So plz dont get fooled by someone in the market who says that they can do it
But Pinacle is a diff equipment all together... I am sure how well it will work with a LAPTOP ... Take a test before purchasing ... Most people use the Pinacle system with desktops havent heard too many people use it on laptops
