Still more poking about indicates that they can in fact be mp3s, as well as several other formats. Yippee!
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Cool. I have never bothered to mess with my ringtones, so I know nothing about it. But I've always wanted to use something from Philip Glass's Einstein on the Beach as a ringtone....

The problem with Virgin (and correct me if I'm wrong) is that you have to buy ringtones from them and selection is limited (i.e. you probably won't find anything by Philip Glass). But I've been poking around some cellphone hacking sites to see how easy it is to connect their phones to a computer to bypass Virgin and copy ringtones myself. I'm thinking of getting the Cyclops camera phone, and I've found that it's easily doable.
I haven't found anything definitive on the Switch_back.

Hey! I just discovered that Radio Shack has the Cyclops for $10 less than Virgin's website price ($70 vs. $80). As I haven't been outside all day, it's the perfect opportunity to take a walk and see if my local franchisee has it in stock!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
In case anyone's been dying for an update on amych "Buffistechnology 3: "Press Some Buttons, See What Happens."" Mar 28, 2007 5:25:57 pm PDT, I ended up using a different upgrade site (MFSLive instead of upgrade-instructions, which I found thanks to Theo's link to tivocommunity), and my increasingly skipping-and-glitching 40-hour TiVo is now a shiny new 237-hour monster. w00t!!1!
