The plane moves in one direction, while the conveyer moves in the opposite direction. This conveyer has a control system that tracks the plane speed and tu...

With that external drive you'd have to make sure to not lose the power adapter, since you'd have to take it with you wherever you went.

Just get a basic pen drive, with the lanyard that goes around your neck, and spray paint it hot pink and glue a sh!tload of glitter to it.

Since you have an nVidia graphics card you can use nView to extend the taskbar to the 2nd monitor. nView extends the taskbar and puts the system tray on monitor 2, whereas Ultramon's taskbar only holds program windows that reside on monitor 2 and leaves the system tray, quick launch, etc on monitor 1.
