Russ: Comcast and bandwidth caps

Russ:  Believes that Comcast is decieving us by saying the 250gb limit is only for abusers while they actually want to impose  artifical limits to charge users extra money.

Chris:  Says only a select few users reach the 250gb/month cap and believes that those who do reach the limit are making the the  service worse for the rest of the users.

Paul:  Says that Comcast is worried that people are moving away from cable and moving to services like Hulu, Netflix, Roku and  Amazon.

Steve:  Says Comcast is always about only one thing making money and we shouldn't be surprised that they are trying to decieve  users.

Paul:  Which is more secure Windows 7 32bit or 64bit?

Paul:  Feels 64bit is a better and hasn't had problems with programs or games

Chris:  Finds Win 7 64bit runs applcations faster.

Russ:  Likes 64bit due to the extra ram available

Steve:  Tried Ubuntu when some of his Windows 7 betas ran out but had a few driver problems.

Chris:  Gaming console vs PCs

Chris:  Likes consoles because it just works without for fuss but doesn't like how games are incompatiblie between consoles.  He  also doesn't like that consoles parts aren't replacable like PCs.  He also likes pcs due to better input options like keyboard +   + mouse.
