  • I am finally finally going to get an iPod today! I'll be grabbing a 10 gig at the Chestnut Hill Apple Store in a couple hours. It's a 3 months early birthday gift from my parents, because I'm leaving next Tuesday to spend the semester in Europe. I'v…

  • Geez, I wish I'd remembered that. I knew about that, but had forgotten. Oh well, we did it my way and it worked, so whatever. Same problem with the keychain password though. But, again, oh well.

  • I know that macs are immune to all these viruses, etc, etc. But is it possible for a Mac to carry a virus and pass it along to other computers, either by self replicating, or just in actual emails that you send out? My sister goes to school at BC a…

  • Seems a little ironic that as I'm reading this thread, there's an ad down at the bottom for a pop-up blocker. Go figure

  • I started getting them yesterday I think, and they haven't stopped coming. I've been getting about 1 every 2-3 hours I'd say. It's really really annoying. I know they can't do anything, but it just pisses me off. I used to look forward to hearing th…

  • I had a friend who bought a dual 1gig G4 days before the 1.42s were released. We went back to the Apple Store (King of Prussia) later that week and they offered to let him return the computer in exchange for a new one (minus 10% restocking or whatev…

  • See my sig Rendezvous is one of my many nicknames, and I passed it along. And I named it that before the advent of the network tech.

  • And tonight, without any changes, it decided to work. I don't get it. But I'm not complaining.

  • I'm pretty sure you're supposed to have to use a router (as opposed to a hub) to share a DSL connection, but I have friends who are sharing 1 verizon DSL connection among 3 computers using a hub (wall->DSL modem->hub->computes) At home I ha…

  • I saw the "Pods Unite" commercial for the first time tonight, during CSI. As soon as the commercial started I said to myself: "This has to be a VW commercial. Or maybe Apple." Then it turned out to be both. I too like it better than the G5 commerc…

  • I'm having the same problem. My friend and I are both running 10.2.6 on G4 machines (dual 1g and PB 500, respectively). We're both using DSL and I'm behind an airport (though I'm hardwired to it). I got a one way video chat to work with him the oth…
