A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

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!

The status is NOT quo.

Oops, double post. Drew, if you love me enough to play tech support over skype, you can call my phone, but isn't it dawn over there?

I AM A TECH GODDESS. Which is to say that I screwed around with everything long enough to figure out what was wrong and have reconfigured everything and it is working working working and way faster than before! Huzzah!

Long story short, figured out that Mom has had the ethernet connected to the LAN port on the Airport rather than WAN for a gazillion years, so I'm amazed the problem took this long to rear its ugly head. Once I switched the cable, I set everything back to automatic DHCP (DCHP?) to make the DSL happy, reset the Airport using Airport utility, rebooted the modem and Airport, and voila! Fixed and working and finding nice little IP addresses that actually work now. And since I updated the firmware from 5.4 to 5.7, it's even faster! Did I mention HUZZAH?

Sorry for hijacking the thread. Back to lurkdom I go.

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

OK. Picking upy iPhone at the store rather than getting it delivered was a big, big mistake.

The line is moving! I'm on Madison between 58th and 59th now. It looks like it will only be 2-3 hours, which is what I expected.

I'm on Madison between 58th and 59th now.

I hope that's not the line for the Soho store.

I'm in the plaza at 5th Ave. now. The line is moving at a pretty good clip.
