Another computer question for the experts here--now that I've got my new laptop and have put all my files/pictures onto a disc for transfer, should I just reformat the hard drive on the old desktop before recycling/sending it to Goodwill?

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

You should do more than reformat.

On another topic, is there a quick an easy way to know if an iPod Touch is 1st or 2nd generation?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

2nd Gen has the external volume control (top left side)?

At least I think that feature was new for 2nd Gen.

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

The 2nd gen iPhones had a slightly different shape - not sure if that's also true for the Touch.

Thanks. Yeah, external volume control and chrome rim on the front seem to be two obvious differences: [link]

The 2nd Gen has an internal speaker! (Crappy though it is....)
