All is well that ends in pizza.

How would you set this up with an Ethernet connector anyway? Back in the States we had cable modem, and that went into the "uplink" port on the router, no big deal. Would it be the same with this?

Yes, with Ethernet.

Trust my rage

I'm looking for a used PC laptop that I can use for taking the bar exam. (The software they use won't work with my Powerbook.) I'll look on eBay next, but I thought someone here might have an old laptop they would like to get rid of. All I need is:

  • CPU = 200Mhz
  • RAM = 64MB
  • Drives = 50MB of free hard drive space and one floppy disk drive
  • IE 5.0 or higher plus the ability to connect to the internet
  • Windows 98 or whatveer came after that.

Could always get Virtual PC...

hi tech-heads

Have any Mac users upgraded to iTunes 4.8 and had trouble with iTunes recognizing your iPod?

I am using OS 10.3.9/iTunes 4.8 with a 4G iPod photo. Just wondering if I am the only one having this issue. Thanks.

cereal:

A quick skim through the apple discussion forums shows that there a lot of other problems folks are having with 4.8. (Not being able to buy music from the apple store, not getting radio stations that used to work on 4.7, not being able to convert at 192 kbps - it auto. resets to 128 apparently, etc.) Screw that. I am going back to 4.7 and waiting a week or so for apple to work on the bugs (which is what I should have done in the first place).

I thought about that but the software's webpage says it's a specific violation of the license to install it on a Mac. I have no idea why, but I want to avoid any problems on test day.

Weird. And? Annoying.

move out and draw fire

Thanks, DCJ, that's what I thought. I was hoping there was a way, so that I don't have to deal with exchanging the modem. I'm not sure my Greek is good enough for that!

One would think all broadband modems would have ethernet. Weird.

Yep.

Tina, have you checked Macfixit.com?

Macfixit.com

Thanks, steph. I looked around a bit there and some of the same problems are being noted with 4.8 that I have had and seen mentioned elsewhere. I went ahead and reloaded 4.8 anyway and it is getting along with the iPod for now. I am keeping 4.7 though, just in case.
