News on the DSL thingie: the rebate from Best Buy that I mentioned above? Only good if you sign up for DSL (with MSN) thru them. However, you DO apparantly also get a $75 gift card.
As even further incentive to buy Qwest DSL service and modems, Best Buy and Actiontec are offering modem rebates through April 30. Customers can receive a $65 rebate if they activate Qwest Choice DSL with MSN Premium or Qwest Choice DSL Deluxe with MSN Premium at Best Buy at the same time they buy their modem. Plus, they receive a $5 rebate just for purchasing the modem from Best Buy. Together, the rebates essentially make the modems free to customers. What's more, Best Buy is offering a $75 gift card with the purchase of any DSL service (regardless of provider) through Feb. 26 ($50 gift card between Feb. 27 and March 26). So, if you know someone who's considering signing up for high-speed Internet service, now's the time!
Ok...I just set up a goofy webpage for myself at geocities. Will I be able to put a PDF document up on a page there? How do I go about doing that? I used to be a little more literate in webpage development, but it's all gone out the window.
Reason I'm doing this? I want to post my paper so people can read it.
plug it in and get the "do not disconnect" message on the iPod, but nothing at all happens on the computer.
This happened to mine last week, tommyrot- it got better when I reset it.
I'm glad I got my 40GB when I did, now. Of course, it's covered under a service plan for 4 years, so in the event something DOES happen to Wesley, they'd better plan on fixing him or replacing him with an iPod Photo.
Rumor: Apple considering buying TiVo. [link]
TiVo is denying it, but the rumor was enough to cause a jump in TiVo stock prices.
Hmm, I wonder if the computer store at my uni has any 40 GB iPods on sale as closeouts...
apple.ca doesn't have a store so it's frustrating to compare prices.
Will I be able to put a PDF document up on a page there? How do I go about doing that?
You put a link to a PDF just like you put an HTML link, but when people click on it, the document will open. You may want to put up a note that the link is to a PDF and people will need Acrobat Reader to open it.

Mine's named Angel. We should hook them up so they can be angsty together.

Yeah, but how do I actually get the pdf on the web to link to it? That's what I'm trying to figure out right now.

Mine's named Kaylee. She'd probably think it'd be shiny to meet Angel and Wesley, as they'd have stories to tell.
If you go to the iTunes section of the Apple web site [link] they have an ad for the iPod that still says "10,000 songs" which applied to the 40 Gig model. When you click on it, you get a graphic that says "5,000 hit wonder."

If you're using Geocities, you upload using File Manager. So you'll need one HTML page called "index.html", and that page will contain your talking "This is the paper I wrote for yadda yadda" and the link for the PDF.
So you do need something that will allow you to create an HTML page. (Sorry if I'm stating the obvious - I don't know how much HTML you know.)
