Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Wanting the Eee.
o_a, man, I WORK at the IEEE and our wi-fi is slow. I don't know what to tell you.

LOL, ZenKitty, you crack me up. You'd think those folks would know! Tommy, yes, it has B & G but not N (are those the right letters? Sorry, it's day off). I remember clicking it going "well YA I want the faster speed". I also remember a TON of layers. For the most part, the IT folks set everything to "default"... or rather, just plugged it in and walked away. I'm going to try repositioning the antennae a bit, see if that helps. Gotta love RF.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
G should be decently fast, but the other big limiting factors are how much bandwidth you've got and how many machines are trying to share it. No amount of settings-tweaking is going to change either of those if your employers are cheap bastards who think a whole company is going to run off the equivalent of a basic-level home broadband account.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Also, if it's a g-network but someone is accessing it at 'b' speeds, the whole wireless network will be slowed down.

technically its just for the visiting designers, so like 10 people or so? Wow, very interesting Tommy about the downshift to B if anyone else is at B. Dude, that's like USB chain. How mean would it be to bump it to G only? Screw those old laptop people! ;)

Um, okay....
Here's a really friggin' irritating one: I just bought a copy of iWork today. Bought it at an Apple store. First one to crack the shrink wrap. I installed the program successfully, however, I am now trying to open Pages, and it is asking me for the serial number. The serial number on the stickers on the "Installing iWork '08" guide book that came in the box that I bought today. At the Apple store.
I have entered this serial number six times now, double, triple and quadruple checking my entry each time. Typing it in in the four character blocks they separate it into for ease of entry. Double, triple, and quadruple checking each block as I type it, then quadruple checking the entire string.
iWork insists that this is not a valid serial number.

Hey. New board.
Bidunno Sean. I bought my serial online (unlocked the trial) and it worked just fine. If you're sure you're not doing some zero-oh switching (and surely you would have figured that out), I'd say it's support time. Annoyingly.

Nope. None of the letters could be confused with numbers, and none of the numbers could be confused with letters.

Our wings are not tired
Wow, that is annoying. I got my iWork from the Apple Store in the retail packaging and it worked without a hitch. Sorry you are having issues man.
