Typical? Attempting to touch resources mapping through other OS systems? Sure that is what everyone has a problem with. To be honest with you I had the same trouble with running W7 under Ubuntu so you are typical. It was the reason why I just canned Ubuntu and went to just Win as OS. I found the problem to be VirtualBox and not W7 nor Ubuntu. Either of those OS products worked fantastic with the resources I wanted to use. But the mapping between one OS and the other for resource consumption was the failure. I use iTunes daily it seems to get new podcasts. I don't play stuff through iTunes because iTunes blows in the user friendly department. I wonder what that PM had on Jobs that the kludge of iTunes still exists in "AppleLand." All the other things they do, they do so well. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer CIMSgts 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
