Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Or at least get one of the larger-sized USB ones -- like the ones TiVO uses.

Is there any cons to buying Roxio Toast 8 for my iBook that I should know about? Does anybody have personal experience with the program and what it does?

I use it, and love it. Easy, intelligent interface that does both basic and higher-end functions without making it challenging. Great program.

Toast doesn't give you the way cool animated smoke like Disco does, but really, it's hard to go wrong with Toast.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm liking Toast. I just got it recently, mostly for the Tivo transfer feature, and gaven't explored its capabilities much, but what I have done with it has been very easy.

One thing that I'm looking for is to be able to do an incremental backup of my iTunes files. Because since my DVD burner is a non-Apple, I can't use the iTunes built-in backup feature. :-(

Jon,

LeNube - If you took apart your TiVo, installing a wireless card in a computer will probably be less tricky.

Oh really? Interesting. Maybe I will try this then! Thanks for all of your words of encouragement.

le nubian, in my experience, installing a wireless card in a desktop is relatively painless. (Getting the card to work after installed may involve some pain, but not so much that I'd advise against you doing this yourself.)

Theo, that should be no problem here.
