P-C, did you buy the camera yet? Today's Woot is a Kodak Easyshare 8.1MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Zoom for $110. No clue how good/bad it is. But it's a lot of optical zoom for a P&S.
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
do you think that is a good value for someone who basically wants to take snapshots of her cat and of knitting sewing projects, as well as ebay

Link?
ita, did it make any difference which browser you had set as the default browser at the time?
I have Vista Home Premium, and IE7 is set as my default browser, even though I ususally use Chrome or Firefox for actual browsing.
I can invoke Windows Explorer with either Start->Computer or just Windows+E. When I enter an ftp address into the address bar, it comes up in the same window. When I use IE7 and enter the same ftp address, it comes up fine in that window, but there is message text at the top: "To view this FTP site in Windows Explorer, click Page, and then click Open FTP Site in Windows Explorer."
I take it you were getting a different result. Correct?

Looks like a good deal, but it's definitely not pocket-sized, and the reviews I'm finding are saying that it burns through batteries very quickly. For example: [link]

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

Opera's been default on this box the whole time.

Will you look at that? I missed that line entirely. I saw a hyperlink and just exited the application.
I still can't duplicate Windows Explorer's initial (proper) behaviour, but at least I have a couple workarounds now. Thanks for pointing that out!

ita, in IE, Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab
Under "Browsing" section, make sure "Enable FTP folder view (outside of Internet Explorer)" and "Use Passive FTP (for firewall and DSL modem compatibility)" are checked. See if that gets Windows Explorer to behave again.

Thrive to spite them
Omnis it's a Toshiba.
Okay one more question, using the bluetooth thing could that only be used for Skype or voice chat through MSN or could it be used as a mic for computer games?

O, both those options were already checked in IE.
Then I went back and tried Windows Explorer again, and it's behaving! I shouldn't pretend to understand these machines or their software.

Askye, in theory, yes, MSN chat should be able to use it. But it depends on how sophisticated the pref's are. I do not use MSN chat or Windows to know for sure. I am not sure about using it for games. Again, it would depend on if that game could choose between various sources.
If you don't have a BT heaset already to try it out, maybe borrow from a friend? It might require re-pairing the unit with the phone after the experiment, but worth the try before you buy.
