sumi, what web browser do you use? If you've got Firefox kicking about, give that a shot with gmail

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!
Well, I don't, But thanks.
sumi, I've been having trouble with gmail hanging all day today, but I've also had the same problem with other sites. So, I don't know if my problem is your problem, and if it is my only solution is to wait and see if it gets better. And that's not so helpful, now that I've typed it up.
Could someone take a guess as to why I suddenly have no sound on my computer, from any app?
Check to make sure that to connections to the speakers haven't come undone, and that they're getting power. If no joy, then try restarting the machine by completely turning it off (at least thirty seconds or so). A simple warm restart probably won't do it.
From DXM, sometimes the sound drivers in windows fail to load on startup. If you restart and let it cool down for 10-30 minutes, it should come back on.
That sounds good. By which I mean, simple. I shall do that. Thank you.
Depending on the carrier, a Blackberry Pearl might be a cheaper PDA-phone option than the Treo. I think Kristin has one.
Way way WAY late to this party, but yes, I do. I really love it as a phone/PDA/email/browser, though the Blackberry software only works with PCs. It can be synced to iLife on Macs via a beta version of Missing Sync--though not flawlessly yet. That software has only recently been developed, and Missing Sync is working on a more reliable syncing program such as the ones it has with Windows Mobile platforms etc.
The keyboard is reduced, as said earlier, but the predictive typing is quite good and hardly takes longer than typing on a full PDA keyboard. I would recommend it for anything *but* taking notes at a meeting or some such--my thumbs just aren't that speedy.
Love the pearl scroll feature, btw, and I'm finding the phone overall more intuitive and user-friendly than my Treo or my Cingular 8125 were. Plus? It's RED! Well, mine is, anyway. It's also thin and pretty small, which is really nice.
This may be a dumb question, but can you put books (like eReader) on a Blackberry? One of the main things I use my PDA for is packing a whole bunch of books with me.
I'm currently in the process of (finally) consolidating all of my domain hosting and registration on Dreamhost.
1 of my domains is currently registered with GoDaddy. When I tried to transfer it, the "email to the current owner to make sure you're allowed to do this" dealie was sent to an email address that I haven't had for several years, and doesn't appear anywhere that I can see on my GoDaddy account. (I signed up with them pre-Gmail, so it must have been the one I used, but I updated all of my account information ages ago.)
Anyone had this experience & know how I can fix it? Is there somewhere other than "Account Owner Information" I should be poking around in on GoDaddy?
[fixed! Apparently updating "Account Owner" does not also update the account owner info for your domains - that has to be done from the "manage domains" menu. Very inconvenient.]
