HDTVs are hot. Technology has improved tremendously. The technology used in HDTVs appears to be light years ahead of the technology used in older televisions.

Not only does the technology appear to be light years ahead, but so does the price. HDTVs can get pretty expensive. In the future the price will go down like they always do, but in the mean time I will show you how to find the best deals on HDTVs.

The easiest way to get your hands on a HDTV is to visit a local mall or electronic store. But that is not always the cheapest. If you do not live in a big city, you may need to visit one. The best deals are located in big cities.

In big cities you can find large discount stores and their main business strategy is to offer better deals than the average retail store. Since there is so much competition in big cities, you can also find stores offering price match guarantees.

This means if you find a HDTV cheaper at another store, they will sell you theirs cheaper to get your business. Some stores advertise their price match guarantees. But sometimes you have to ask.

The second way to find deals on HDTVs is by shopping online. A lot of times you can find better a better deal online because the overhead costs are lower. They can afford to sell you a HDTV for a much lower price than an offline store. But every online store will not be cheaper than offline stores. You may need to shop around at different online stores.

try using comparison shopping sites. They will list stores who sell HDTVs and sort the results by price. You can easily see who is offering the best price.

But dont just use comparison shopping sites. Some smaller online stores cant afford to use comparison shopping sites. Perform searches using search engines and just look for the best deals. just shop around as much as possible and you will find some good deals.

I currently have a usb broadband modem. I purchased a wireless router which has ethernet connections. Currently, the modem is plugged into my computer downstairs which is running Windows 98, therefore, it won't bridge the connections to my computer upstairs(XP). I can't update to XP because a family member wont 'risk' it.

Can I connect the usb broadband modem to my wireless router using a complicated selection of cable adapters ie ethernet to usb (I cant find a usb TO ethernet adapter). If this is not possible, if I plug the usb modem into my XP computer, can I bridge the connections to my Win 98 computer using the XP computer as the host?

I think their is ethernet to usb out their currently but not usb to ethernet. I dont see any reason why you should not be able to hook up your usb modem to your XP computer and use it as a bridge to the 98 computer.

Of course, it would be nicer to have an all-in-one unit, but you can accomplish your goal with this equipment. You cannot use cable adapters to convert the modem's usb into ethernet. usb needs drivers to operate, and ethernet connections do not provide those drivers to the device. you could also connect the modem to the XP machine and bridge connections, yes. but you can leave the system the way it is and configure it to run smoothly like this:

If I had the hardwear in front of me, it would be easier to provide specifics... but i can probly give you an idea of what to do. There are only 2 steps here:

1. configure an internet gateway.
2. configure the router.
And the rest is easy.

1. Set up the internet machine to SHARE AN INTERNET CONNECTION (you can use the wizard if you want, or just enable Internet Connection Sharing), which will turn the 98 into an internet gateway. that gateway needs an IP address designated, however. In essence, the 98 machine will be the internet server, so the IP of the 98 machine is the IP of the gateway. Assign an address, for example: 192.168.1.1 to the 98 machine. the "192.168" is important, and the last strings you can stretch on, but for the sake of ease lets keep it small. *TIP* the subnet mask will always be 255.255.255.0. okay that takes care of the host machine.

2. after you have an internet gateway, connect the wireless router, and console (or IP) in to the settings, usually by going into internet explorer and typing 192.168.0.1 into the address bar, and look for a slot for Internet Gateway. type the address assigned in step 1. thats that for the router. (there may be other settings necessary for your specific network, and if there are, be sure to configure those.)

Lastly a few housekeeping tasks. make sure the workgroup for both machines is identical. I usually use MSHOME as the workgroup. Also make sure that on the XP machine, your IP address is set to "Automatically Obtain IP address", also known as DHCP.
