We could be coy and suggestive and hint at the conclusions to come, but given you can see the score at the top and might have read the strap line "the best netbook money can buy" on the front page, you should already know what's coming. That in May we visited Samsung in Korea and were told the company wasn't working on a netbook and had no plans to do so either proves that Koreans make excellent poker players, or that the Korean giant has designed, produced and delivered a truly superb product in a matter of months. Frankly, when you're dealing with a company like Samsung, anything seems possible.
Of course, fundamentally the NC10 is little different to any other netbook currently available. At the centre of it all, as ever, is an Intel Atom N270 processor running at 1.6GHz. This, as we've seen through the last few months, delivers a remarkable balance of performance and battery life. It might not be a high performance part, but for the needs of a netbook it's just right and until something else comes along to best it, either the AMD Conesus, the proposed ARM effort, or a dual-core Atom, it's as good as netbook processing gets. This is backed up the usual 1GB DDR2 RAM module and since there's just the one slot in the NC10, you'll need a 2GB stick if you wish to upgrade - something that's made easy thanks to a dedicated single-screw fixed panel.
Network connectivity comes in the form of 10/100 Ethernet and 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi and though the likes of the Asus Eee PC 1000H and MSI Wind U100-291UK also pack Draft-N Wi-Fi, it's a luxury we and plenty of others can do without. Naturally there's Bluetooth in there, too, along with the 10.2in, 1,024 x 600, LED backlit display that appears to have become the norm among netbooks.
For storage there's an exceedingly capacious 160GB hard drive and unlike so many netbooks, those mentioned above accepted, it features a six-cell battery with a 5,200mAh capacity. That it has all this and comes in at just under £300, approximately £30 less than the MSI, means the NC10 is already off to an extremely good start before you've even clapped eyes on it.
And when you do, things only get better. Glance at the NC10 and you'd be forgiven for thinking it to be an Eee PC, but closer inspection reveals plenty of differences and ones that make it a fundamentally more attractive and more durable piece of kit. Most striking in this regard is the faux-chrome accenting that runs down both sides and across the front edge of the machine. It's such a simple thing but it instantly lends the NC10 an ever so slightly more adult and grown up look, contrasting the otherwise all white chassis very nicely. You might be relieved to hear that white isn't the only option, too, with rather fetching blue and a black versions available at identical prices.
Aside from the chromed edges, there are plenty more things to like about the NC10's design. Its lid, for instance, has a matte plastic finish, as opposed to a glossy plastic one that's forever picking up fingerprints, grease and scratches. For something that's going to be used regularly on the move this can only be a good thing and it's pleasing to see Samsung paying attention to what many users have been demanding. This is joined by smart silver 'Samsung' lettering and each side of the lid is tapered slightly to meet the outside edges of the main body.
what's with the single mouse button, though?
Reading this review makes me feel very stupid for buying an eee 701 for 𧶲 when they came out last year :( I wish that they had enough of a resale value that i could sell it and get one of these now...
It has two trackpad buttons, its the same button, but it tilts in either direction. One point to note - unlike the white model, the black and blue models do have the glossy fingerprint style lid.
"a firm punch in the back" ? Samsung may not be sending you guys any more review gears! :-)
Andy... Can you clarify the earlier comment here about the finish of the black and blue models? Based on the earlier 'TrustedReviews' image - http://www.trustedreviews.c... - some sort of sheen would appear apparent, but not so sure about gloss. I agree, this aspect is a particular irritant with all types of notebooks. I favour black or blue for imminent purchase, but will elect the white 'matte' finish if this is an issue. Have you seen all three colours?
I haven't, but will do my best to find out for you. :)
This netbook will be bought by me imminently and looks so much better, in my opinion, in black. I do agree with BST though, the matte finish would have preferable with the darker colours, but I will forgive the glossy lid of the black model due to its colour.
To be honest I wouldn't take those press shots as evidence, we all know how companies love Photoshop. Have asked Samsung for clarification.
Just been confirmed, the blue and black have the same matte finish as the white.
yaaaaay! hurray for matte. mate FTW!
Thanks Andy for clarification. Just wondering if to order now, or have the patience to wait a few weeks to compare with the HP Compaq Mini 700; its attraction being the alleged internal HSDPA modem. Now that would be the icing on the Samsung NC10 cake. I hope you will be taking an early look at the '700 (?).
Hopefully, but not so soon probably. HSDPA versions will only be sold through providers so that's likely to take more time. Should have the 1000 before the year's out with any luck, but it'll have to go some way to best this. As far as I'm aware they won't have 6-cell batteries either, which in mind is pretty essential - feel free to correct if someone knows otherwise.
Hi Andy, how does it compare to the dell 9?
The Blue and Black are matte inside but the lids have a gloss finish
Hi Andy, any chance for a video review?
@Singularity - it's being filmed tomorrow and will appear on the site as soon as it is edited together.
This is the first netbook I've been seriously considering and thanks for making the decision easier :) Looks like the best deal for me, as I'm particularly drawn to the large hard drive as I plan on using this to store video.
All that stands between me and the NC10 is a review of the HP mini 700/1000 - I guess the feature difference for me is the HP's better keyboard vs. better battery on the Samsung!
Thanks for the excellent coverage.
any news on the toshiba netbook? Also, is there any Linux versions planned of the NC10?
Funny how every netbook offered for sale has a flaw. This one seems fabulous, but the keyboard keys are coated with an anti-bacterial compound based on nano-silver. Odd that wasn't mentioned in the review - maybe the ones bound for the EU aren't coated?. Not nearly enough research has been done on the long-term consequences of nano-silver to individuals and the environment. Regardless, consumer products are now popping up with nano-silver coatings: socks, keyboards; I just saw plastic FOOD containers touting their nano-silver coating! I'm not saying nano-silver is the second coming of asbestos or Thalidomide, but anti-bacterials have the potential of just selectively breeding Superbugs. (further info at http://www.hazards.org/nano...
I recently bought an Acr Aspire One, really wish I'd waited now!
@Jag - the Acer is very good so I wouldn't feel TOO bad about it
@TheHoldSteady - I've never heard of "nano-silver" but I'll be doing some reading :)
Incidentally, since the NC10 is available in three colours I thought I'd post the links from TrustedReviews Shopping in case people wanted to compare:
Geoff/Andy, any word on whether the UK will see the HP mini-700 before Xmas? Looks like the US already has them.
Does this support Aero Glass if I were to install Vista or 7?

State regulators have rejected a proposal to build a controversial private landfill south of Dade City. But the long-range complications over where Pasco County puts its trash won't go away that easily.
County officials will watch closely to see if Angelo's Aggregate Materials — which had requested permits to build a 90-acre dump for household garbage — will appeal the state's decision, handed down Thursday. The company declined to comment Friday, but earlier in the week hired lobbyists who said they had long-term contracts.
The denial from the Department of Environmental Protection at least stalls a dogfight between the company and county officials, who would have to decide whether to grant a land-use change to allow the landfill.
Pasco officials are reluctant to approve a privately run landfill, as county policy discourages dumps in favor of incinerating garbage and recycling. With stiff neighborhood opposition to Angelo's landfill, the county was bracing for a battle that could head to the courts.
But not anymore.
"This now doesn't create a distraction for the county and especially the commission as we begin to address the solid waste issue," said County Commissioner Ted Schrader, who fought Angelo's project. "We're still shipping solid waste out of the county to alleviate the excess waste issues."
Where's the trash?
Pasco County usually produces more garbage than its Shady Hills incinerator can handle.
Tens of thousands of tons of garbage have been shipped to an Osceola County landfill, costing $1.2 million last year alone. Pasco's recycling program has struggled to gain a residential following to dent those shipments.
County officials have moved toward expanding the Shady Hills incinerator, even as Angelo's officials pitched their landfill as a less expensive alternative.
DEP's rejection of Angelo's permit request last week gave the county a breather. But so did something else:
The tanking economy and housing market have created less trash for Pasco to dump. And less urgency to expand the incinerator.
Waste is down 18 percent from last year, mainly due to less construction debris being created, solid waste manager John Power said Friday.
The county expected to send away 61,000 tons of extra waste to the Osceola landfill over the first year. Instead, Pasco barely met the minimum requirement of 30,000 tons. And only 5,000 tons of garbage has gone to Osceola this year.
Expansion plans for the incinerator?
"I would say they're on the back burner right now," said Bruce Kennedy, assistant county administrator for utilities, echoing statements made by Schrader and Commissioner Michael Cox.
Lull won't last
The County Commission approved the deal back in September 2007 to send excess garbage to Osceola County for up to 20 years.
At that time, Pasco officials were in a tight enough spot that some initially expressed openness to Angelo's project.
The estimated $350 million cost to expand and run the incinerator over two decades became part of Angelo's pitch for why its private landfill would be better. The landfill would save residents from paying for the incinerator expansion.
But residents soured on the idea of a private landfill. And then top county officials did, too.
"Landfills are forever," Kennedy said Friday.
County officials also said shipping out waste to another community was better policy — even as Schrader and others criticized Angelo's for seeking to bring trash to Pasco from other places.
The incinerator still has brimmed at capacity, roughly 1,050 tons a day. But it has run more efficiently in recent years, further reducing the pressure to expand the incinerator, Power said.
But county officials acknowledge the lull in trash flow is temporary. They count on growth — and garbage — to rebound.
Like Angelo's, the county will be asking DEP for a permit. Pasco needs someplace to put its incinerator ash as the existing cells fill up.
Its proposed answer: Build more landfill space in Shady Hills.

Need help picking out a new wide board
So I bought a new 161 devun walsh 02 back in 03 when my feet were 11's i have size 13's now so when i used it last season i had horrible toe drag and heel it sucked slowed me way down... so this season I wanted to go with something else wider I'm 6'3" 190lbs size 13 feet.... Ive been looking at the Rome flag, manual, or slash... also the Endeavor colour... the Gnu CHB... the Forum raider last board was forum but ive heard they arnt as good anymore so not so sure about forum... right now im leaning more towards the flag or slash.... so yeah im open to anything wanting to spend around 270-350 at most..... also is there a big difference between the 07/08 flag and the 06/07 flag.... Also I have forum like 03 or 04 ATA bindings and dc phase boots do you think its time to upgrade those too or do you think they are still good for a couple seasons share your thoughts with me please... thanks
Ok. So your stats are Weight: 190, Boot size: 13, but what's your riding style? And where do you ride? East or West coast? I assume you like park and such? Also, do you feel that your boots are still comfortable to YOU? If yes, then keep them.
Yeah I lean more towards park riding but i need something good for all around like I was looking at the rome machine which is rated great for park but not so good for the mountain I ride on the west I live in Washington state its where i mainly ride but I have friends in BC too so I'll be up there for a bit too to hit up whistler a few times this season
What about risers and sticking to my old board any thoughts cause if i dont have to spend the money on a new board i dont really want to i was looking at the palmer supers they sit at 20mm my current board is 257 width about so its not the narrowest board ever but it is def not a wide board im just thinking if i can get away with it and use the money id save on lift tickets id rather do that

Excellent location on a canal with restaurants underneath. Staying at Casa Chiumento really made the experience for us.

It is a common belief among those of the western world that people in Egypt are Muslims and support the ideas of Muslim fanatics. Of course, 10% of the population is Coptic Christian, they predate Muslims in Egypt by about 500 years. There are also large numbers of dark skinned people known as Nubians who inhabit southern regions of the country. Their history with light skinned Arabs is analogous to the experience of dark skinned people with white Christians. Discrimination and poverty and definitely the state of being powerless.
Some Nubian students were on their way to school when they encountered comments and graffiti which depicted them as sub human. At this point, both sides claim the other fired the initial shots. Anyway, guns blazed and people lay dead. At the latest count at least 25 are dead and over fifty are wounded. Not an Arab extremist among those engaged in violence. Just another example of how we have peace and quiet in Egypt since the Armed forces returned to power.

After extensively searching the web for a product that would remove acid rain spots on my autoglass, I have found the answer. You can spend some cash on specifically designed products that do this but for a few bucks and a trip to the supermarket you can get a cleaner that will give you a beautifully reconditioned glass surface. The product is called Bar Keeper Friend(BKF). Someone on this forum might have mentioned this also. I use this stuff for my beer brewing equipment. It contains light abrasives and Oxalic acid.
What you do with this stuff is first make a paste out of it. Then dab a wet rag in the paste and begin rubbing the glass in a cross hatch pattern using medium to heavy pressure. Let it sit for a minute and rub it again. Try not to get it on your paint. I would recommended that you do one window at a time and wash the window and the surrounding area as soon as you are done working on it. It does require some elbow grease but this method removed the acid rain spots etched into the glass. It also removed any other foreign particles that were adhered to the glass. My autoglass is like new now.

The news will come as a surprise to those who view the chancellor as having had "the longest sulk in history" over Mr Blair's refusal so far to hand him the keys to No 10.
But in an attempt to show a softer side, Mr Brown today described himself as "a family man who has two young children", who had changed as a result of his experiences in recent years.
Pressed repeatedly on BBC Radio 4's Today programme on whether he was liked by the public, Mr Brown said he hoped that he was but it was a matter for others to judge.
In a remark targeted partly at the Tory leader, David Cameron, the chancellor said that he thought that the era of "personality politics" was over and that people did not just want leaders who told them what they wanted to hear.
Asked about what his style of government would be if he became prime minister, Mr Brown said: "When you are making decisions as chancellor, you've just got to say 'no', but I think when you are talking about these other great issues of the time, the one thing that I've realised... is that you cannot solve these problems without engaging and involving and eventually having on your side the people of the country."
He added that he was a man who had his own views, but stressed that he also listened to others.
"You want to use all the talents of the country," the chancellor said. "That's why you've got to be inclusive and you've got to be collegiate and you've got to bring people in."
Mr Brown accepted that a prime minister was expected to be liked as well as respected.
"I try to do the best I can as a chancellor," he said. "Obviously, if one's in a different job both the expectations and the demands of that are different, and I'm ready to rise to any challenge, because I think that what I would like to do is to serve the country in the best way that I can."
Asked about the claims by Lord Turnbull, his former permanent secretary, that he had a "Stalinist ruthlessness", Mr Brown said: "It's not something you want to hear, but equally at the same time you accept that these are the things that happen... You've just got to get on with it."
Asked about other personal insults he had faced during his 10 years as chancellor, he said: "I don't hold grudges against people at all."
He described Mr Blair as "a great guy... I've got an enormous amount of respect for him."
Some commentators have described yesterday's budget as an exercise in cementing Mr Brown's transition to No 10, and the chancellor was certainly happy to be interviewed this morning.
However, Mr Brown rejected Tory claims that his tax changes in yesterday's budget were a "con trick".
He stressed that the surprise moves - including cutting the basic rate of income tax by 2p to 20p - would not hurt low-income families, because the system of tax credits made them better off.
The Tory leader, David Cameron, continued his assault on the chancellor today, again accusing him of "an elaborate con trick".
"I think Gordon Brown's problem is that he finds it hard to be straight with people," Mr Cameron said.
"If he had stood up and said 'money is tight so I'm going to simplify the tax system but cannot afford to cut taxes', that would have been one thing.
"But he did not. Instead, he pulled an elaborate con trick.
"People will ask 'can I trust this man as my prime minister?' and I think they will say 'no, we can't'."
Speaking to BBC Breakfast, Mr Brown refused to be drawn on whether he would call a snap general election if he succeeded Mr Blair. "Nothing in politics can be taken for granted," Mr Brown said.
Speaking to Sky News, Mr Brown also confirmed a soft spot for pop diva Kylie Minogue, whom he recently met.
"I happened to meet her... It was very briefly. I was talking to her and she is a very nice person. She was talking about some of the challenges she has had in her career. It was interesting but it was a very short meeting."
Pressed on whether Minogue was a fan of his, Mr Brown laughed and said: "That's something you must ask her. I certainly think she's, er, a very good person."

Starter or ignition switch?
OK i got the engine put in my car and everything ready to go. I went to start up and cranked over like the battery was dead. well i know i didn't have a good enough ground so i fixed that. Well after trying to start the engine i would let off the key and it would go to on, but starter was still engaged and would still spin till battery was disconnected. thought it was starter so put a different one on but same thing happens. The battery is on the charger now because it is dead but would a low battery cause the starter to stay engaged or would the starter be bad or key switch? Tomorrow im going to try a push button start and see with the key on if i can start it with the push button and it disengage. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
Go over your wiring again and make sure it is 100% bang on. I actually got to see this happen with a guy in an 88 mustang gt today at work. Starter just span and span, it would start, then die, then start then die,then after oh.. 3 minutes, the battery was dead so he had to bomb start it.. He had 2 girls push, It was funny as hell ... sorry novaman....I doubt its the starter, since it's new. The only way a starter can keep "On" is if it has power still going to it... I'd check your ignition wiring back to front.
Ok. Its not a new starter but i know they both work because they come off of running cars that would start. Im going to try a push button starter first and see if it will disengage after that because the key switch had given me problems before so im thinking its going out,
hmmmmm. your logic astounds me. replace the switch and quit fking around. that might be tough. try this link to www.nastyz28.com search for steering column. there is an exploded diagram there. it should work for your car if that's your nova in your journal. you need to take off the wheel and bust out a little tiny slot that is next to a hole. you will have to put the screwdriver in the newly made hole (unless it's been done before) and push down on a button to get the switch out. it aint easy. you better do a real thorough search on that website in the interiors forum and you will find better explanations and even some pictures of where to bust out the hole near the switch cylinder. this is a nasty job. since you are 17 i would suggest you find someone who has done this before, or hotwire it with a switch under the dash till you meet someone who can do it. dont even try it till you get the above information on what to do

ok with the push button it still stays engaged. On the solenoid there are 2 posts 1 big one little. The wire on the little post goes to ignition switch right? Ok if the ignition switch was bad and i used a push button starter with the ignition switch still running to the solenoid would this cause the starter to stay engaged? What im saying is should i try starting it with the ignition switch unhooked from starter?
yes. try everything to get out of having to do the above switch replacement. i wonder how much a local key shop would charge you?
I gotta go with bullheimer on this one..your ignition is to the right of the cellanoid switch, when the key is turned over it opens the circuit to allow power to come in... it might be toast. It sounds like a wiring problem to me. Trace out all the wires and label them with tape and a marker just to make sure they all hooked up right.
- Drive it Like it's stolen -
you can search this site and get the right wiring diagram. if you still need help and do have to take off the switch pm me and i can get you the link to the diagram, but you will have to search for the info/pics on where to make the hole and the removal procedure. i just did this on my camaro last month
I did not see any where what kind of a car your working on??? Maybe i just missed it...
I am going to assume it a gm car... The post on the center of the starter solenoid is the battery post the small one towards the block is the start post. If you remove the stock wire from the start post and hook your push button switch to that post and the starter stays engaged after you release the push button, the starter is the problem... If you do it this way you have eliminated the wiring....
Every time i have seen this problem it has been the starter solenoid.........
Re: Starter or ignition switch?
I don't know if I'm reading this right or not, but It sounds like the "R" and "I" terminals on the solenoid are reversed or shorted...power backfeeding from the coil in "run" to the "I" terminal instead of the "r" terminal would keep the starter engaged all the time
Could this be your case?
hope it helps
Doc [/color]
Good idea Doc, I was just going to suggest that. He never said his engine started, and how many ppl pause at 'run' when they start their cars?
It's really easy to get the solenoid terminals backwards, especially in the excitement of putting a new motor in. I've even put the wires backward on a solenoid myself, but it was the battery cable on the starter side, not the starter/ignition wires.
I took the stater to a local shop and they said the gear was nt coming out all the way out like its supposed to. And it sounds "dry" inside. I am think it is the solenoid because the wire from ignition switch doesn't stay hot and with the button the starter still stays engaged. And no the engine never started.
Similar Problem
yeah i got a 72 and we're having a similar problem we've already changed the cellanoid, alternator, ignition swith, and voltage regulator and it still won't start, but now we think that when we put in the new ignition switch it was in the on position instead of the off, we still havn't changed it but it's worth a try...
Old thread but i gotta throw in my 2 cents...all else fails, put in a button,use the key to turn on you elec system,ie:lights,blinkers,wipers.gauges,etc...but most important...get a sticker made that says "protected by Smith & Wesson"...i'm not sure if they had steering locks in 78...
Whats the odds of haveing a 78novaman & a Novaman78????
I had the same problem turn it over and it would just keep cranking all by itself.
Turned that the starter needed to be shimmed 'cause it was to close to the flywheel and the bendix would bind get stuck and keep the starter spinnin' drove me nuts. Although I would check the wiring first.

Canada to restart fighter search, could buy F-35: source
By David Ljunggren
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada is restarting its search for new fighter jets but could still choose Lockheed Martin Corp's F-35, which Ottawa had initially said it would buy before losing enthusiasm as cost estimates soared, a government source told Reuters on Friday.
An independent four-person panel will study the F-35, Boeing Co's F-18 Super Hornet and the EADS Eurofighter and report back to Ottawa by early 2013, the source said. The panel, which could also look at other fighters, will not make a recommendation on which jet to buy.
The decision marks a determined effort by the Conservative government to end a series of embarrassments after announcing in July 2010 it intended to buy 65 of the Joint Strike Fighters for C$9 billion. The planes were supposed to replace Canada's veteran CF-18s, which will be retired in 2020.
Canada is one of eight international partners helping to fund development of the new radar-evading warplane, but it has not signed a formal contract to buy the planes from Lockheed Martin. Ottawa had decided to proceed with the purchase without holding an open competition after military officials said the F-35 was the only plane to meet all their needs.
The Pentagon's F-35 office declined to comment, saying it is a Canadian issue.
U.S. officials said Canada remained part of the international group that is funding development of the F-35 and that status remained unchanged. Canada agreed in February 2002 to contribute $150 million to the F-35 development program.
Critics have long complained that the C$9 billion purchase figure was unrealistically low and said the military had opted for the F-35 without looking closely enough at alternatives.
"People said the process was unclear and they don't know how we got to the decision (to buy the F-35s). This time everything will be out in the open. The process will be clear," the government source told Reuters. Continued...

The Iwata LH 1.4 400 Copy pics and review
3 Attachment(s)
Here are a few pics I took this afternoon of this bad boy.. As you can clearly see it looks to be the same one they are advertising on ebay, and mine is straight out of China
one more

last one for today. Tomorrow when I am fresh I am going to attempt some spray test... I ran reducer thru it today and you could "hear" how well it sprayed, plus it had a nice fan pattern that adjusted easily...There are numbers on thefluid tip adjustment knob and on the fan control knob...
It has an overall nice fit and finish for the price.. The finish on this gun is better than that of my Astro's, similar to my sharpe finnex-100 on the gun body.. stat tuned more to come:D
I looked over the pics and WOW that gun does look like The Iwata LPH-400 except the fluid tip is far different. The Iwata LPH has a fluid tip that protrudes slightly past the aircap and has small V shaped notches cut into it. I don't see that on the copy gun. Even if it isn't a direct LPH copy it may spray good- might be a copy of the non regular non-LPH design?
can I ask where u got that from? I may wanna pick one up for myself
Hey BondKing did you get that gun from Tuul Shed on Ebay?
I got it from a friend of mine... He wanted me to try it out to see what i thought..I think some jobbers in different parts of the South are selling them like hotcakes... He got it from a guy wholesaling them to stores... There is a cloud of smoke hoovering over my back yard area from some local idiot burning off something a few miles away.... anyways when/if the air clears, I will drag myself from the couch to my little "shop out back" really its to the side...lol and we are going to spray some colors....
If you are good class, maybe tomorrow we can get Jim to come over and spray the clear....I will get some more pics
Try and find out who is selling them on the net if you can and let us know. I definitely want one.
Will do..
Who's this Jim guy?
If you get out there and start working and bust your stitches I'm gonna
have to come over there and kick your ####.
Now go back to the couch where you belong.

Here are a couple more pics of it broke down and what came with the gun... Sorry for my arm sling getting in the way .... My computer I think has a virus, it took me over an hour to download pics off my camera.. I'm taking it to Best Buy this morning so I wont be on line for a few days..the last picture shows some type of sealer that was all through this.. in the cup, and all in the gun body head when i disassembled it.
Is this the same product?
Is this the importer?
http://rongpeng.com/images/c2/pro17.jpg (enlarged pic)
The numbers match the ebay ad description?
The part numbers are identical but the pics are not similar.
Does anyone else (online/traditional store) sell these guns?
I think I had the wrong pic. Thanks 302/Z28 :)
I think that gun you have the link for is a copy of a Sharpe gun.
yeah the brand is rongpeng. I seen them for sale from them if you want to buy 200 or more. I don't need that many of them. They don't have any distributers listed on their site either that I've seen. I am sure someone has to sell them if they sell as good as what someone on here said. I haven't found any place to get one besides ebay yet. I would be willing to try it out, but not going to pay what they have been going for on ebay after shipping. A little more money and I can get a name brand and have parts easily available.
:P wow i now know your style of painting ! i wouldn't pay for that but i have to say its a great gun for the type of paint jobs you do!!!!!!!!

Wake Forest 28 Northwestern 27
Northwestern's bid for another captivating season fizzled at the gate last night as long-suffering Wake Forest blew a pair of 10-point leads before rallying for a 28-27 victory over the Wildcats, ranked No. 13 in the Associated Press news media poll.
Brian Kuklick hit Desmond Clark with a pair of fourth-quarter scoring passes, including a 30-yarder with 51 seconds left, as the Demon Deacons snapped their 30-game losing skid against ranked teams. Bill Hollows's extra-point kick provided the winning margin in Wake Forest's first triumph over a Top 25 opponent since October 1979.
The Demon Deacons killed Northwestern's last chance with an interception by Tom Stuetzer with 34 seconds remaining, giving Wake Forest its first victory over a Big Ten opponent in nine tries.
Many in the crowd of 21,749 at Grove Stadium stormed the field and began a raucous celebration that culminated in the leveling of one of the goal posts.Continue reading the main story
Northwestern, which upset Notre Dame in its opener last year to set up a shockingly successful season, turned it over twice in the first four-plus minutes. It was a sobering start for a team that was 8-0 in the Big Ten last year and played in the Rose Bowl, the school's first post-season appearance since 1949.
Darnell Autry rushed 32 times for 173 yards and two touchdowns to help the defending Big Ten champions overcome a pair of 10-point leads by a team that went 0-8 in the A.C.C. last year and finished 1-10.
Nebraska 55, Michigan State 14
Linebacker Mike Minter intercepted two passes, scoring one touchdown and setting up another, as Nebraska (No. 1 A.P.), began its bid for a third consecutive national championship yesterday in Lincoln, Neb.
While the Cornhuskers' offense gained 298 yards, it was Nebraska's defense and special teams that really hurt the Spartans (1-1).
Defensive players scored three of Nebraska's seven touchdowns and set up two others with a pass interception and a blocked punt.
Florida State 44, Duke 7
Led by defensive ends Peter Boulware and Reinard Wilson, the Florida State defense set up three touchdowns and a field goal as the Seminoles (No. 3 A.P.) defeated Duke in Tallahassee. Boulware had two and a half sacks and Wilson totaled 11 tackles.
Florida 62, Ga. Southern 14
Danny Wuerffel answered Coach Steve Spurrier's criticism with near perfection, missing on just one pass for Florida (No. 4 A.P.).
Wuerffel was 15 of 16 for 267 yards and two touchdowns for the Gators (2-0), a far cry from last week when he missed open receivers and drew the brunt of Spurrier's criticism.
Georgia Southern (1-1), a Division I-AA school, flustered Florida with its flexbone option attack that took chunks of time off the clock and kept the score from really getting out of hand.
Wuerffel had a pass efficiency rating of 275.2 for the game.
Texas 41, New Mexico State 7
Ricky Williams ran for 132 yards and two touchdowns as host Texas (No. 8 A.P.) took advantage of early turnovers and rolled to victory over New Mexico State. The Longhorns (2-0), off next weekend before facing Notre Dame at home on Sept. 21, led 31-7 at halftime and emptied their bench in the second half.
Ohio St. 70, Rice 7
Pepe Pearson ran for 119 yards and three touchdowns, and the freshman Michael Wiley scored three times on plays of 49 yards or longer as Ohio State (No. 10 A.P.) routed Rice.
Alabama 20
Southern Mississippi 10
Alabama's defense smothered Southern Mississippi, forcing three turnovers and allowing just two plays for positive yardage in the second half of a victory in Birmingham. In the second half, Alabama (No. 14 A.P.) held Southern Miss to minus-29 yards in offense.
U.S.C. 55, Illinois 3
LaVale Woods ran for two touchdowns, and visiting U.S.C. kept Illinois out of the end zone as the Trojans (No. 19 A.P.) swamped the Illini. The Trojans (1-1) scored on long passes, short runs, field goals and a blocked punt on the way to giving the Illini (0-2) their worst loss in the 1990's.
Louisiana State 35, Houston 34
Kevin Faulk, originally suspended for the game, ran for 246 yards, returned four punts for 106 yards and scored three touchdowns as host Louisiana State (No. 17 A.P.) rallied after trailing by 20 points in the fourth quarter.
Coach Gerry DiNardo suspended Faulk for one game after he was arrested Feb. 19 outside a bar and charged with two counts of battery on a police officer, resisting arrest and failure to move. The police dropped the charges on Thursday, prompting DiNardo to reinstate Faulk.
Shyrone Stith ran for 119 yards and two short-yardage touchdowns as VIRGINIA TECH (No. 15 A.P.) beat host AKRON, 21-18, after spotting the Zips an 8-point lead. . . . Dameyne Craig passed for 207 yards and had a hand in four AUBURN touchdowns as the Tigers (No. 18 A.P.) embarrassed FRESNO STATE, 62-0. . . . Brian Kavanagh completed 19 of 22 passes for 232 yards and three touchdowns, and Marlon Charles rushed for 195 yards and two more scores as host KANSAS STATE (No. 21 A.P.) swamped Division I-AA INDIANA STATE, 59-3. . . . Sedrick Shaw ran for 115 yards and a touchdown, and host IOWA (No. 22 A.P.) used an opportunistic defense to outlast ARIZONA, 21-20. . . . Joe Rowe scored on an 82-yard kickoff return and a blocked punt and Tiki Barber ran for two touchdowns as host VIRGINIA (No. 23 A.P.) defeated CENTRAL MICHIGAN, 55-21. . . . Jeff Dover, a redshirt freshman, passed for two touchdowns as visiting TEXAS CHRISTIAN upset OKLAHOMA, 20-7, spoiling Coach John Blake's debut. . . . Ramon Flanigan threw a screen pass for a touchdown early in the second half as visiting SOUTHERN METHODIST surprised ARKANSAS, 23-10. . . . C. J. Williams scored three touchdowns and GEORGIA TECH overcame three first-half turnovers to beat NORTH CAROLINA STATE, 28-16, in Raleigh, N.C. . . . In Irving, Tex., Byron Hanspard rushed for a school-record 272 yards and scored two touchdowns as TEXAS TECH rolled to a 31-3 victory over OKLAHOMA STATE in the first Big 12 game between the teams. . . . Leftover thunderclouds from Hurricane Fran poured all over the University of BUFFALO Stadium as rain and mud amounted to a messy-looking game. The CONNECTICUT Huskies did not mind the outcome, though, as they beat the University at Buffalo, 20-3.Continue reading the main story
