Well, since it's a machine on my internal network, mounting a drive should be little problem at all. I just want to be able to present the same iTunes library intelligently to my PC and my PowerBook, but now I wonder where I plug the hardware in to synchronise.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Daniel - I have a couple of old laptops - one is OOOOOOOLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDD...like Compaq, portable computer old. Do you want items like that too?

Hey. New board.
So, whatcha doing with your old one?
Stripping out the hard drive and extra RAM, but I don't have much need for the other parts. I could send it along. E-mail me, profile addy's fine. There's not a whole lot usable in it, though - the DVD drive gave me big troubles the last couple of times I tried to use it, the display has a weird burn-in right in the middle of the screen, and the X key and the left control, alt, and command keys are all ded from red wine. And, as mentioned, it seems to be having sudden power issues. The fans are probably good, though, as I replaced them both within the last month.

Hmm. I'm having some pretty fundamental comprehension problems. I'm looking at what seems a very simple list of instructions for Firefly on Ubuntu, but I get lost.
The steps are:
- Install Ubuntu
- Install ID3 tag support
- Install mt-daapd
- "point the server to your media directory then restart mt-daapd"
Where did I get a media directory?
I'm missing something very fundamental here.

Okay Mac heads. I'm looking at the laptop I want to pick up for myself, and my primary choice is between a 2.4 GHz and a 2.6 GHz refurbed Macbook Pro. The 2.6 costs $200 more.
My question is this -- am I really going to notice the 0.2 GHz for my $200?

Are you looking at the 15" or the 17"?

17" hi-res. I could shave another $200 by skipping the hi-res display, but I think I still want that, even if it feels a little like the $1,000 spoiler on my car*.
(*I told ND this story once, but for those who don't know -- when I bought my Escort ten years ago, I paid $1,000 extra for the "Sport" package, which was the only package that came with 4-way remote door locks, instead of driver's-side-only. It also came with a spoiler, and the word "Sport" on the side. My friends used to tease me about my $1,000 spoiler.)

Hey. New board.
The hi-res is definitely worth it. The 0.2 GHz probably isn't, without other benefits.

Hey. New board.
Anybody with Yahoo mail: is the mail search working for you? Both the classic and new interfaces have been failing to let me search for the last 12 hours. Very annoying, as some of my old software registration keys and such are stored in there.
