	Air compressors tend to spit out air pretty fast....I'd mostly be worried about damage if I were you.

The expansion of air as the air leaves the tank causes a drop in temperature and can lead to condensation. It generally isn't a problem unless you've got a massive air tank. We have a large air compressor at work with a "trigger" attachment for the hose. It is used to clean out workstations, servers, network equipment, etc. It's a beast, but I've never heard of it killing anything and it gets used daily. Just be careful not to blow a capacitor off a PCB and you'll be fine. -b0b (...wants to see this!)

	Generally, you can set the pressure in the tank. Use it like you're overclocking your computer. Small steps until you break something, then back it down a touch.

	LOL, Stick...love it. Ya, we're talking MAX PSI of 100. Also, you have to worry more with air canisters throwing out condensation. I picked up one yesterday with my b-day money...so I will give it a go. Thanks for the help guys...I can't wait to see some of you Saturday! X

	Wireless AP vs Repeater. Which is better? I have the ethernet cable running exactly where I want the AP so I could pick one or the other with no extra headache other than crimping a wire.

	The access point would be far preferable. When you use a repeater (or an AP in repeater mode) you immediately cut your bandwidth in half, double your latency, and increase radio interference (which can further reduce latency and noise). -b0b (...repeaters are for temporary hack jobs.)

	Sweet, thanks. I have an old all-in-one DSL Modem, router, 802.11g unit. Is it possible to turn it into a bridge/AP?

	The bridge functionality would depend on the exact model and feature set, but it's a fairly common option. You can definitely turn it into an access point, just configure the AP and plug it into your new router/switch via a LAN port. -b0b (...yay for networking!)

	My grandma is in need of some computer assistance. I talked to her over the phone and it sounds like she gets a BSOD during boot, possibly after the windows loading splash screen so maybe a bad driver. Not sure yet. Do you guys know of anybody in the White Pigeon area that could help her out? I live an hour away and it'd probably cost as much in gas money to get it fixed. She probably doesn't need any data saved, the computer is fairly new and she only uses it for facebook and email. I'm going to check who she bought it from, maybe the manufacturer can pay for the fix if it's under warranty. Thanks, Stick

	This may be a long shot but does anyone have an extra cd key for windows 7 ultimate? X

	My dad's in the market for a sub-$500 laptop. Anyone know of a decent model? Also does Windows 8 for laptops without touchscreens even work properly? X

Not sure about the laptop, it's been awhile since I was in the market. I'd recommend aiming for a Core i5 with at least 8GB of RAM if you can swing it. Windows 8 does work without a touchscreen. I've been using Server 2012 (same crappy interface) for a few months now and it does work, although it's a complete PITA. -b0b (...grrr.)
