Hi Patrick, Jacob, and Holly, The link to Jacob's post about registering his iPod Classic (through Windows) is at:
http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40macvisionaries.com/msg27245.html This seems like a good time to remind people that there is a searchable Mail archive of the Discuss list at: http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40macvisionaries.com/ It supports searches by date, author, keywords, and Boolean arguments and returns a Google-like brief summary of posts containing the search terms with a couple of lines of surrounding context, and links to the matching posts. When you select a post, at the bottom of the page there will also be links to other posts in the selected discussion thread. Since registering iPods has been discussed before, I included Jacob's name (as author) in the search, and typed in: from: "Jacob" iPod register (minimal matching of the Author's name enclosed in quotations after the word "from:" with a colon at the end; search keywords "iPod" and "register" used here; default is to search the entire archive) More information on the search syntax can be found at the archive FAQ: http://www.mail-archive.com/faq.html#search which gives examples of different searches.
