Question time again - if my new laptop says "you're ready for on the go computing with 802.11a/b/g wireless" all over it, why can't it find any networks? I was assuming that I didn't need the little card thingy - am I wrong in that? One message that I keep getting is "make sure the wireless switch on your computer is on." My what now?

The network is there - the Tivo finds it no problem - so I know that's not it.

Look for a switch (could be software, could be a hardware button) to toggle power to the WiFi. Having the WiFi off saves power, and it may be set off by default at power-up.

So, an actual, physical switch? I couldn't find anything softwarey even using that term.

Could be. Depends on the laptop. My brother's Toshiba has a hard button toggle for WiFi power, with an LED indicator, in addition to an icon in the taskbar that is a shortcut to the WiFi controlling application.

2 questions-- one of my imacs (indigo with CD drive) has completely stopped turning on. Is there any chance of it spontaneously healing?

My other imac (Ruby DV edition) seems to have "lost" some of it's memory. That is, is used to work fine but now I cannot have the internet and internet dialer open at the same time because I so not have enough system memory. Is it possible that putting more memory in will fix this? I had been using it to play DVD's only, but with the death of the blue computer, I want to go on-line. Perhaps it might be possible to take some of the memory from the blue and put it in the red?

if my new laptop says

What kind is it? With my Dell, I have to hit the function key + f8 or something for the wireless card to be enabled. But it doesn't sound like that's the problem if it sees and connects to your network. It could just be that there are no other wireless networks in your immediate area, which, while unlikely, is a possibility.

Okay, found the switch (thanks!) and it claims to be all connected, but still won't let me access the internets. Sigh. Have to play with it some more after I get home from work.

Jobs is doing his thing again: bigger-capacity (60 or 80 GB) iPods, longer video playback time, brighter screen, games (sold through iTunes store), search? Or maybe just quicker scrolling by letter (the updates sites conflict); Nanos in metallic colors like the mini, thinner (how is this possible?), 2/4/8GB storage, better battery life...

Ooh. My 60 Gig iPod has less than a Gig free. Good timing.

What I want in my iPod is more interlinks. Im listening on shuffle and the Smiths come on, I want to be able to clink on the artist or the album and go to the other songs from same.
