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!
I'm not upgrading to Windows 7 at least until ProTools has been upgraded to play nice with it (the Win 7 compatible version is currently in beta). But if I intend to upgrade eventually, then I might as well get it for cheap when I can, right?
A very late response, I know.
Jon, my mate, Damian, is waiting for the very same reason. However, he's even going so far as to **gasp** contemplate getting a Mac. While working with Peter Gelling he found out the Mac version has features

out in the PC version.
The Mac version of ProTools has traditionally been a bit more feature rich than the windows version. It's also been consistently more stable. It's mainly because the user base for ProTools HD is largely Mac so Avid puts their resources there.
Thanks, Jimi. It's something to consider the next time I need to upgrade my hardware, but I think (hope!) that's still a couple of years away.
Okay, just updating my Amazon experience from this post: le nubian "Buffistechnology 3: "Press Some Buttons, See What Happens."" Feb 26, 2010 5:15:08 pm PST
Suffice it to say, the birthday gift arrived late, but arrived, and Amazon did refund nearly my entire purchase price of the items - I think it was because I am a Prime member and this was marked as a gift.
I'm kind of surprised by it all. But I must admit that this is one of the best customer service experience I have ever had.
Folders4Gmail stopped working this morning - anyone else seeing this problem or know how to fix it? I already checked for updates and restarted Firefox.

It's hard to say with the WiFi what's going on, it can be so many things.
You might want to try to make sure that MAC filtering isn't enabled on the router.
If you can, disable security on the router temporarily and see if it will connect.
Turn on broadcasting the SSID of the network if that is turned off. I know turning it off is recommended for security, but I have seen several connection problems with it turned off. I rely on encryption (WEP, WPA etc...) and MAC filtering and two layers seems like enough.
Make sure it's connecting to the right network. I'm seen that be a problem too, someone having all sorts of problems and then realizing they were trying to connect to the neighbor's network.
