5071B Hello, I just saw this machine for sale. I was actually considering picking it up. -Jay

Hello, I have a Eureka 2 speed self propelled ESP 5071D. I'm certainly in ned of an upper cord hook with bag spins holder, and also a whole new transmission. Tranny squals when motor is turned on. If I can't find parts, I'll part the machine out. Really want to make it work. Thanks, -Jay

SSD and failures Thanks Joe, I do realize that the SSD is a new kind of technology, and I do realize that I would lose everything on it should a failure occur. However I wouldn't be storing a whole lot on it except the main OS and some programs which can be downloaded such as Skype. In terms of...

I'm sold On SSD's, I think one would really make an old Core Solo, or Core Duo Mac Mini, even an early 2006 MacBook scream! I've read and read about SSD's and I've even seen the big performance gain that a normal HDD just can't touch. I do believe SSD's are going to put the old HDD out to...

Hello to all, I'm in the market for a Mac Mini, and I was wondering has anyone used an SSD in their computer, be it a Mac or PC? What is the performance gain when using an SSD? I've read that an SSD will provide near instant boot up, and shut down time, and instant application load. And for...
