And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Thanks LeN, but these are all in folders on a DVD, so iTunes won't recognize them as CD tracks. And I don't have time to fiddle with Garage Band before we leave. Oh well - playlists it is.

I just got my cable-internet connected. The d/l speeds are twice as fast as my old DSL, but the uploads are half as fast. What is the typical upload speed for Cable modems? Mine tested at 484 kb/s

I forgot, cable gets slower the more folks on it. I tested now, and the speeds are a bit faster. The d/l is great. The u/l still a bit sluggish. Thankfully I d/l more than u/l. Thanks for the link dcp.

Our wings are not tired

UL on cable is usually quite a bit slower. I've got 10 Mbit down and it's only something like 768k up.

All is well that ends in pizza.

OA, what speeds are they promising to deliver?

I couldn't find any upload speed promised. That's why I was curious if there was a norm, and if I was in it.

Went to the Apple Store today to get a bag for new work computer. There is a line around the building. I'm like, "what the heck? Did they announce something I hadn't heard of?" Nope, still have a line for the new iPhone! I dunno if Dallas is just behind in the distribution? Or is it the same in other areas?
