All Pinks Day: Tuesday, November 15 -- Game Thread

[carly@ebay.com]

Hi everyone,

The first All Pinks Day on eBay.ca will be held on Tuesday, November 15 and the Canada Town Square was selected to host all of the Pinks so you all can get to know us a little better. To add some fun we will be playing a game throughout the day, so expect members from other boards to visit.

There will be different Pinks posting to this thread during the day. Each Pink will ask a few questions about the areas of eBay they are connected to and the first person who gives the correct answer to the question will receive a prize. (limit two prizes per person)

This thread will be reserved for the game only and no disruption of it will be permitted.

You can find the rules for this contest at the following link.

This thread will be unlocked the day of the game Tuesday November 15. We hope to see you all here.

I think its part of what makes pink games so much fun. You also get to see lots of stuff you never even knew was there.:-) - - - - -

It might be a trick, she said "send me the link" not post it. I can't...no feedback.

[soobeadoo]

Woohoo!!!!! Great, thanks so much.

Now I can go find out why everything I click on (like view listings or home) takes me to 'Completed items' and won't let me sign in. hmmmmmm - - - - -

This is my last question for everyone 🙂

According to the Buying Guide, once you've decided on a laptop weight class and processor, What are 3 other components you should look at?

[circa@ebay.com]

are you guys stumped? 😉

[eqqus.north]

Price, Performance, & Portability

Hi everyone!

Happy "First" Pinks Day! 🙂


I think I'm going to make first order of the day to rescue you from Circa's questions! She's got me flipping through all over the place to find the answers! 😉

I hope you're all having a great time and it's great to see so many happy faces in here rather than look at at the rainy day we're having.

Hard Drive: A computer's hard drive stores all your programs and files. A drive with a higher storage capacity (measured in GB) lets you save more data than a drive with a lower storage capacity. You only need 20GB to 40GB of hard drive space if you only plan to store your operating system, programs, documents, and a few photos. You'll want at least 80GB if you plan to save a lot of large files such as high-resolution images, movies, or your entire music collection. Additional external hard drives also work well for data backup purposes and for storing large files.
Memory (RAM): Programs, including operating systems, need a certain amount of memory (RAM) to run, with more RAM providing better performance. For example, Windows XP requires at least 128MB RAM to run according to Microsoft. Most people find the number closer to 256MB and see even better performance with 512MB RAM, 1GB RAM, or more.
CD and DVD Drives: When you buy any computer you want a way to back up your work. Some laptops come with fixed internal drives while others have a hot-swap bay where you can insert and remove a CD drive, DVD drive, or combo drive. Combo drives can read or write to two media formats. They may also include a read-only media format such as CD-ROM (to read CDs) or DVD-ROM (to play DVD movies and read CD-RWs). With hot-swap bays you can always upgrade to a different drive (for example, from a CD burner to a DVD burner) later and you can sometimes use an extra battery with the bay.
Ports: Make sure you have the ability to connect all the peripherals and gadgets you want. Besides a parallel or USB port for your printer, you'll want USB 2.0 or FireWire to connect your MP3 player, digital camera, or camcorder. Many devices also work with USB 1.1.
Screens: While most folks will love a 14.1-inch display, some people may want to sacrifice size to drop some laptop weight. If you work with a lot of multimedia or play 3D games, go with a larger display.
Networking and Wi-Fi: If you want to connect to the Internet from more than one location in your home or office, find out if the laptop has built-in Ethernet support, a PCMCIA network interface card, or Wi-Fi (802.11b or 802.11g) support. For more information on wired and wireless networking, visit eBay's Networking Buying Guide.
Graphics Card: A graphics card processes video, freeing up memory (RAM) for other system tasks.
