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.

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!

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Folders4Gmail stopped working this morning - anyone else seeing this problem or know how to fix it? I already checked for updates and restarted Firefox.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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.

Thanks for all the U-Verse beta, folks. I think I will have to remain chaste and just get internet and phone. Can't afford fancy tv service now also. I do still have a digital-analog converter box, which I can probably rig again in-line with my Series 2 Tivo and get some SD use out of the Tivo.

That's awesome, le nubian! I have had...inconsistent customer service with Amazon.
Are there any PowerPoint mavens here? Is there a way to set the slide to advance after your last animation finishes? I can only see options for advancing On Mouse Click and Automatically After X Seconds.
Ooh, never mind, I think I figured out a better way to do it. I am awesome.
