How to safely remove a glued on Review Mirror from a car window for replacement?

Have you bought replacement windows for your home? Who was the Manufacturer? Are you happy? Why or Why Not? I have asked a similar question that you can review at: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080111154643AAjePFv&r=w ....but THIS question is different as I want to know if YOU HAVE HAD YOUR OWN WINDOWS REPLACED or if you work for a firm that manufactures windows. TELL ME A BRAND. Be specific on why you are happy or not happy with your windows. If you are comfortable mentioning it, how much did you pay (or how much do you charge if you are a manufacturer). This is an expensive proposition for me, and nothing is better than testimonials. Not to sound rude, but if you haven't had your windows replaced or don't manufacture windows, best save this space for someone who has/does. Thanks in advance for all of your kind assistance.

thermastar windows? We are buying replacement windows for 10 windows soon. I am extremely thorough in researching info. and trying to compare apples to apples etc. However, someone just told us to try Lowes Thermastar. By adding low e and argon gas... I think may be good product for the price... but skeptical as I know it is Pella's lowest line of replacement windows and can't seem to find reviews on them. I have had several estimates and I think they would save us close to 1000$ on 10 windows compared to others. Anyone gone with Thermastar, and if so happy so far? Such a headache...I know there are better choices out there, but would be happy if they lasted the 10 years, for the cost savings now as we need to do something now assuming they perform as intended. Any thoughts ideas etc. would be greatly appreciated. Over the wknd realized need new dryer and p.c...so in 3's it happens. Need to do all before baby 2 arrives. thank you in advance for time!

How can I tell if a co-op building is in good financial shape? I am reviewing a co-op apartment building's financial statements and it gets really confusing. The management office says they report losses or deficits because they operate as a not-for-profit entity. They refinanced their 2 balloon mortgages with high interest (7.7% rate) into a smaller interest (5.8%) fixed-rate mortgage but from $10 mil to $15 mil amounts to capitalize and fund renovations (i.e. window replacement for entire building in 2005 $1.5 mil) and boosted the reserve funds to over $2 million. But this is done at the cost of putting the building and the co-op shareholders into more deficit. Is it smart financing, or irresponsible fiscal management? The building is a luxury apt and looks well maintained with nearly 100% owner occupancy. Should I be worried or glad?

I would like to know where I can read reviews and get specs about a Sony VGN-FE800 laptop.? I was trying to Google the Sony VGN-FE800 laptop. Is this part of the Vaio Series. I could not find any information except about getting a replacement battery. Now I know the laptop was made a few years ago. Do any of you have the model. Is it a good model? How is Sony Vaio overall. What is the speaker quality? I know it runs Windows Vista. Thanks

Buy an Aleinware for Replacement? I have a sony vaio PCG-K33(laptop) and it has some minor hard drive problems. aside from being only 60GB, i read reviews for it and everyone said that harddrive spins at slowerspeed than avg. at 4200 RPM. that could be the problem. No way to fix it? so i'm thinkin' to try an sell this laptop on ebay. it is a 3.1 GHZ super-fast but small HD. and has 512MB DRAM. and 1GB virtual memory. Pentium 4 Desktop Processor. Bad thing is intergrated ATI graphics w/64MB. Although still better than Intel Media Accelerators, the 3D games have some lag. Rich,vibrant colors from the awesome XBRITE LCD screen exclusively on Sony Vaio's. Runs Windows XP HE.wieght is approx. 8lbs. Got it for about $2000. 2004 model. How much would it sellfor? And should i get an alienware for a replacement? im not a hardcore gamer but i play sometimes. i need more hard drive space and faster RPM.

What advise do you have on replacing Windows with Linux? I am reformatting the hard drive on my laptop and am considering Linux as a replacement OS. I have all the software disks and information from my laptop already backed up, but can i use these with the Linux install? I am a total Linux newbie but hear rave reviews from some of my friends and coworkers. After doing a little research it seems the Mandriva distribution of Linux would be the easiest. Whoever wrote the wiki entry recommended it for replaceing windows. I think my biggest concern is that my programs and files will be useable in Linux.

Reattaching driver side power mirror on 99 Subaru Legacy Wagon? I popped off my driver side review mirror on my Subaru Legacy Wagon. The power mirror is still functional. Rather than paying for a whole new kit to be installed, I'm wondering if there is a way to reglue the existing mirror. Maybe take to an autobody place, or window replacement place that uses really strong adhesives? The mirrow is intact and the power is still functioning, its just dangling from the power cord. So I think its just a question of reglueing or replacing the whole kit. And if reglueing, what kind of adhesive? I'm assuming I can reglue now and replace later when I have the $$$.

Does anyone have a review about Landmark™ brand windows? Seems to be among if not the most expensive windows for replacement purposes. I would like a little feedback about them before I proceed further with them as a possible choice for my window replacement needs.

Dell studio gaming performance? Currently, I have a Dell 1520 with a 2.2Ghz dual core processor, 3gb 667mhz ram and a DDR2 8600m GT graphics card running a 1440x900 resolution on a 15.6" screen. Having had multiple issues with said laptop, Dell have offered a replacement laptop with the following specification: - Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T9400 (2.53 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB, 6 MB L2 Cache) - Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium SP1 - English - Microsoft® Office 2007 Home and Student/ English - Microsoft® Word, Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint - 2Yr In-Home Warranty Support, including evenings and Saturdays - Jet Black Colour with Matte Finish - 17.0" Widescreen WXGA+ CCFL (1440x900) TFT Display with TrueLife™ - 2048MB 800MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x1024] - 2.0 Mega pixel Integrated Web Camera - CCFL - 250GB (7200RPM) Serial ATA Hard Drive - 256MB ATI Mobility RADEON HD 3650 - Fixed Internal DVD+/-RW Slot Load Drive including Software - Primary 6-cell 56 WHr Lithium Ion battery - Internal UK English Qwerty Keyboard - 1 Meter Power Cord (3 Wire) - UK - English - Documentation Studio 1737 - 1Yr Limited Warranty - Collect & Return - 90W AC Adaptor - Studio 1737 Order - UK - Studio 1737 Resource DVD (Diagnostic & Drivers) - Wireless Label (Dell Wireless Cards)- Core 2 Duo - Dell Wireless 1397 Mini Card (802.11 b/g) I will upgrade the ram to 3gb so that shouldn't be an issue, however, is the Video card incapable of running WoW at high settings? (I assume its DDR2) as my current 8600m GT only provides around 10-20 FPS during 25 man raids and below 15 in Dalaran (everything max except shadows up one notch), I am unsure as to how the mobility Radeon 3650 will cope in comparison; been on notebookreview and the site indicates that the 3650 is on par or better than the 8600m GT, nevertheless, after reading numerous threads about the card, there seem to be many mixed reviews. I have no issues with playing around 15 FPS currently, but if this graphics card will be unable to provide such a number in Dalaran/25 man raids at the above settings, I may cancel the replacement and provide an engineer to fix my current laptop. Furthermore, will the 17" screen size reduce my frame rates by a significant amount and will the upgrade in CPU provide a large FPS boost? If anyone with a studio 17" could provide me with some rough indication as to how it performs in various areas of WoW, it would be much appreciated. Whether or not the card can be overclocked would also help

Recommend a DECENT fax machine for home office? so right now for my home office fax machine, mostly used for outgoing to my parents home work office, and some things to customers as well, not high volume faxing, right now i have this piece of junk HP fax 1010. It has never worked right, always seems to have Send Errors, Jammed Document problems, starts to send and then stops, has this weird ring sometimes when im trying to send a fax. it needs to go, it needs to fly out some 2 story window and smash to the ground (ok to be environmentally safe it will be recycled upon replacement) Suggestions PLEASE on a decent, nice working, compact fax machine that I can get for say less than $180. It doesn't need to do a ton, mostly fax, i've got a scanner/printer combo, i know most faxes are combos, so if you want to recommend one that has other features thats fine, but reading reviews on Amazon, Tigerdirect, New Egg, would like some good words on someone who has one they like. Thanks SO much !! also does faxing a document over a phone line that is VOIP have more of a chance to mess up the fax transmission ?
