Sorry if I've made you repeat yourself to no purpose, I'm being a conduit for the DH's ideas and I don't necessarily know what he means. He now agrees that your router is, to put it technically, "probably fucked". Sorry, dude.
Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

He now agrees that your router is, to put it technically, "probably fucked". Sorry, dude.lol. Ya, I was suspecting. Especially as I wrote it out here more and more. But not being an IT person, per se, I was hoping there was something I could tinker with.
So I guess the question now is. Airport or Time Capsule? Of course I have money for neither, so it's a down the road question. But, has anyone using time capsule found it all that much better than just hooking up a HD to the Airport? And will Timecapsule work with 10.4.11 or will I have to jump to the next cat level?

Why do you prefer XP Pro? I haven't found much difference between them.
No reason, Jon. I have install disks for both. Though I believe the license key I have for XP Home is also already in use. I still think I have an unused Pro key lying around somewhere, and I guess I'm just trying to put forth a good faith effort to be completely legit about it.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Yes, this. If the licenses I have match the number of installs, I've tried, at least.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Of course, you're trying to do right by a company that gave a big "fuck you" today to everybody who purchased music though Microsoft's music store. [link]

Greetings! I need suggestions for AC/DC power converters such as this thing. I need something that'll power this thing. Also, it shouldn't be more than $25, if possible.

P-C, it sounds like the thing comes with a standard 12-volt auto adapter. The adapter you indicate, and the one indicated on the page are converts to the 12 volts DC that are automobile universal.
If we found out the power input of the actual socket in the unit, one could bypass the auto adapter and get an adapter to convert directly to the needed voltage.
It might need some hunting, if you do not own the item, yet.
In either case if you use the auto adapter, all you need is an auto-AC adapter like the one you link to, available in electronics stores and Wal-marts everywhere.

What Daniel said. I think you have two choices.
1) Use the included DC car adapter and then convert back to 120v AC using another adapter (the one you and the guy on the page linked to).
Or 2) Buy the cooler and, once you get it, see if you can figure out what sort of AC adapter/power supply will work. The face that the "provided power supply is NOT hardwired in" is encouraging. That means there's a good chance one of the standard Radio Shack type AC adapters might plug in.

Actually, looking more closely at the two links, it may be that the adapter in the Amazon link plugs directly into the cooler. If that's the case, then that would be the one to get. But you won't know for sure until you get the cooler.
