All is well that ends in pizza.

A typical adapter will work, But for about $40 you can get the official iPod world adapter kit: [link]

Part number M8794G/B if you look elsewhere.

Buy.com has it for $39.79 with free shipping: [link]

Huh. Am I worried enough to spend $40?

Thanks for the link.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

CaBil ... have you check Area450.com? They might have more information and you can get some upgraded firmware while you're there. I used the OFFA firmware on my Magnavox and it's turned it into a new dvd player :)

Trust my rage

Using Firefox, I've been trying to get my Netflix queue into my bookmark toolbar (using RSS). I pasted the link Netflix gave me into a new bookmark, but all I get is a regular link to the xtml page with my queue info, not the RSS feed that I expected.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Are you ready to be strong?

OK so I've got my SHINY NEW IPOD charging for its first time ever, and I'm about to install the software on my puter, but I have (YET ANOTHER ANNOYING) question: should I install everything that comes on the iPod disc, if I already have stuff like iTunes and iPhoto on my computer?

Nonian, you need to go to Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks...->File->New Live Bookmark..., and add it there.

Do you have a Mac? Because I do and I didn't have to install anything for my iPod to work (since I already had iTunes).

I do have a Mac. So should I just ignore the disc that came w/?

The latest iTunes version is 4.7. That's all you should need.

Woot. I have that. Thanks.

Now I just have to wait FIVE HOURS for my new iPod to charge.
