Thanks - I was using <xsl:value-of>, but I was starting at the root so it wasn't working. I caught that bug and now all is groovy....

Another question: Using Javascript in IE, I want to take an XML document already in memory and replace every single example of an attribute with a different value. Do I need to loop through the XML doc, or is there a Javascript function that can do a "global replace"?

Tom, would one of these functions do what you want? [link]

I think they would, except to use them I'd have to grab the XML from the Document Object Model object variable, do the search and replace and then stick the resulting XML back into the object variable. Maybe there's nothing wrong with that approach, but I ended up using the selectNodes method of the XML object to get a set of nodes to change, then looping through and using the SetAttribute method.

I could probably have done an XSL transformation too, but I didn't want to take the time to figure that out....

So, a few weeks ago, Apple came out with a 2 TB time capsule and dropped the price on the 1TB time capsule. Is it just a price drop/TB increase? I guess what asking is, if I buy an "old" 1 TB TC for $300, is it the same as the new one?

I got my LG BD390 in the mail yesterday, hooked it up with an HDMI cable to my receiver, and started playing.

It's nice.

I haven't tested an actual blu-ray disc on it yet (first titles come by Netflix today if I can access my mailbox - long story) but I'm streaming an HD-quality version of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" that I ahemmed. It's an x264 mkv file and is streaming perfectly over my networked drive that I have sharing from an Apple Airport Extreme.

I was extremely happy to discover that this player does NOT require a DLNA server to play files over the network. It found the shared drive the second I hooked it up to the wireless network, and is playing it perfectly, no computer or server required.

Haven't tested Netflix or Youtube streaming yet, but will later. I expect them to work fine - I'll be selling or giving away my Roku box in that case.

The interface is quick and attractive.

All in all, seems to be totally worth the $299 I paid for it ($329 listed but with a $30 discount code I found online somewhere) and of course newegg got it to me in one day.

That sounds cool Gris. Sometimes I've been shocked by how fast newegg is at getting stuff to me.

I survived a call from my aunt last night, asking for computer help. She had a paper jam and wanted me to stop by to clear it. Considering that she lives 30 minutes away, I decided to talk her through it, that only took 30 minutes so win.

At one point she was talking about having to buy a new printer and lamenting the loss of the current one. I know she was trying to guilt me into coming over in person, but it sure sounded pathetic.

I asked her the name of the printer and I got the name of the ink cartridge, then "Pict Bridge". I'm sure you can imagine the fun.

I forwarded my family the xkcd about technical support, and my sister's reply was "Does that mean you don't want to do it any more? Doesn't it make you feel closer to us?"

Not even funny. I wish I could impress upon the two PhDs how silly some of their questions are.

Yeah, or what the alt text said.

Can anyone tell me how to install a settings.xml file in Windows XP that's supposed to tell Smart Connection plug-ins where to find the server they're intended to log in to?

On the Mac just dropping the .xml file into its own folder in Library/Preferences does the trick automatically, but I have no idea what to tell a PC user about getting it to work on her computer.
