Twelve WIIs at Best Buy this Sunday?

For those of you still waiting to get your hands on Nintendo’s little Wii, this coming Sunday may be the day you get lucky. According to an inside source at Best Buy – a surreptitious hero for nerds everywhere – the nationwide retailer will have no less than 12 Wii systems per store that day.

According to a videogame journalist at Gamernode.com, those units will sell out faster than Bruce Springsteen’s last concert in New York City. I recommend getting to your local Best Buy EARLY. Bring a chair, some food, and a handheld gaming system, because you may have to wait for a while if you want to be among the first dozen at the door.

If you want to thank someone for this tip, well, you can’t. He has chosen, in true superhero fashion, to fade away into the night after.

"long range wireless"

I received a call saying that Dell is advertising notebooks with “long range wireless”, and he called Dell…and the representative had no clue as to what he was talking about.

When I did a search at dell.com, all I found was:
“…IOGEAR’s Long Range Wireless Keyboard/Mouse Combo…”

On his second call to Dell, he (again) reached India, but this time was told that the Inspiron 1420 has the “long range wireless”.

After reviewing the website, it looks like “regular old wi-fi” to me…

OEM versions of software

Tom has an “OEM” copy of Windows XP, but no product key…

Per the Windows Operating System Product Support Lifecycle FAQ:
“…Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)…contact your OEM for more information about the support offerings for Windows desktop operating systems…”

I can tell you from experience that retail product keys do not function on “other” version of Windows, and the same is true in reverse. If you have an OEM version (of Windows), you’ll need the product key from whoever distributed that CD.
