Re: [H] MP3 players...
Don't believe the anti-iPod FUD. Only songs that you download from iTunes Music Store are locked to the iPod/iTunes. That is no different than almost every other music store. I have owned 4 different iPods dating back to the original and there is still nothing that beats it. And if you don't like iTunes there are plenty of freeware/shareware apps that you can use to sync and upload music to it.

RE: [H] MP3 players...
I personally use the iPod nano right now but its just ok and I got it as a gift. But I am going to be buying a solution shortly as well and I totally leaning towards this: http://shop.sirius.com/edealinv/servlet/ExecMacro?nurl=control/StoreItem .vm&ctl_nbr=2640&siId=1745656&catParentID=7874&scId=7874&oldParentID=787 0 Its portable, has mp3 capability, and with the license you also get the streaming internet feed. Its perfect for me because it has NFL network on it and the trance music station is the best I have heard anywhere. I find that MP3 players alone get old because if you listen to the same songs over and over what's the fun of that? Then if you keep updating your music that's annoying as well. So this seems to be the best of both worlds. Store your favorite songs, listen to new music you like, save the songs you just listened to that you like, and not worry to much about managing it. But of course I haven't used it so I don't know if its as promised. I would love to hear if anyone on the list has one of these. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bobby Heid Sent: Monday, November 13, 2006 10:51 AM To: 'The Hardware List' Subject: [H] MP3 players...

Re: [H] Network copy Vs USB copy & Sharing My Documents
Thanks for the thanks... I was replying to Waynes sidebar "example" more that your original post (or question). After "totally damaging" an HD (or two) while having them out of the case, I try to be less agressive for data recovery... (I start with the "easiest" way.) Having a customer take out a HD (and deliver it to me) sounds like asking for trouble... (JMHO...) Plus, the "best" customers are the ones that would not have a clue how to do that, ... BTW, (PC Beginner CD), I'm always a little suspicious when I get to a site like that and find a "big 2 day sale" that ends today... I may eat my words, but generally when I have gone back, the big sale ending "today" is still ending any other time I "go there"... YMMV... BTW-more, This in no way means it might not work... BartPE and XPPE work, and for free... The regular price $~70, (before the 2 day sale), seems a little steep... Get "something", make sure it works, and enjoy it... ... Rick Glazier - Original Message - From: I'm going to take this to the "next level" for Chuck. Running with NO hard drive only proves that "can" be done, and that nothing from the original "system" hard drive is needed to "get access" to what ever "other hardware" will be found... (Remember, this is all done IN the original system --- never even opening the case...) I downloaded the PC Beginner CD ISO file and burned the bootable CD. I hope this is the simple way to unlock data in the My Documents file. Again, I am really not interested in using the customer's computer for any of this. For conversation sake, let's assume the customer's computer has a dead motherboard but all data on the hard drive is intact. I have a shop computer specifically for working with other hard drives etc. I can easily work with up to 6 hard drives attached, 4 IDE and 2 SATA. I want to be confident I can unlock data using my shop computer and copy it to a folder on another hard drive. I should not have to worry about anything in a customer's computer but its hard drive. I should feel confident to copy all of a customer's My Documents data to a new computer I am building for them, even if all they bring to me is their hard drive. Again, copying the data has never been a probelm. Unlocking it has. Thanks, Chuck

Yes, you have to use iTunes, but only to load the songs. If you have them in a non-DRM state, you just copy them to iTunes and load them to the iPod. Other than that, I don't use iTunes at all for anything else and have had no problems with my own ripped CDs.

Re: [H] Multi-disc HD Enclosures
I would not stripe them. However, I would like to either span (JBODs) them or use them as separate drives. if you span them, you lose all the data if you lose one drive? Maybe I don't understand the technology. Basically, I want to use this thing for these purposes: ..back up of multiple PCs ..back up of MP3s and Audible.com downloads (I'll still have other HDs in enclosures that will keep the MP3s) ...storage of ripped movies, which I consider nonessential stuff, as I rip from my DVDs and move to my UMPC when I'm traveling...once I've watched it, I'm done with the file. After ripping over 200 CDs, the thought of redoing that work blows my head open (and I've done it once). So, I don't need speed, but I have a bunch of dissimilar capacity HDs that are going unused and buying an enclosure for each is not a good solution.

[H] Electric scooter...
Any of you have any kids that might have an electric scooter? If so, do you have any recommendations on one. I'd like to keep it under $200. This is for an 11yo girl. Thanks, Bobby
Re: [H] Network copy Vs USB copy & Sharing My Documents
- Original Message - From: "Rick Glazier" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "The Hardware List" Sent: Sunday, November 12, 2006 12:54 PM Subject: Re: [H] Network copy Vs USB copy & Sharing My Documents I'm going to take this to the "next level" for Chuck. Running with NO hard drive only proves that "can" be done, and that nothing from the original "system" hard drive is needed to "get access" to what ever "other hardware" will be found... (Remember, this is all done IN the original system --- never even opening the case...) I downloaded the PC Beginner CD ISO file and burned the bootable CD. I hope this is the simple way to unlock data in the My Documents file. Again, I am really not interested in using the customer's computer for any of this. For conversation sake, let's assume the customer's computer has a dead motherboard but all data on the hard drive is intact. I have a shop computer specifically for working with other hard drives etc. I can easily work with up to 6 hard drives attached, 4 IDE and 2 SATA. I want to be confident I can unlock data using my shop computer and copy it to a folder on another hard drive. I should not have to worry about anything in a customer's computer but its hard drive. I should feel confident to copy all of a customer's My Documents data to a new computer I am building for them, even if all they bring to me is their hard drive. Again, copying the data has never been a probelm. Unlocking it has. Thanks, Chuck
RE: [H] Re: RAID 5 upgrade planning
The idea works _IF_ the controller supports resizing of arrays without destroying data. Many RAID controllers do not support this. Also, what are you going to do once you get caught by the high-def bug? 10-15GB per film... ;) Regards, Jason Tozer Database Analyst London Ext 1131 - 3SC.5 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Brian Weeden Sent: 08 November 2006 02:22 To: hwg Subject: [H] Re: RAID 5 upgrade planning So is my plan of upgrading the drives one at a time to a larger capacity and then upping the RAID size sound? I really don't want to lose my data that I can't backup. Of course, my only other option would be to buy another RAID controller, all new drives, build a new RAID, then port all the data over. I don't think my power supply could handle that :) On 11/4/06, Brian Weeden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > When I built my HTPC a year ago I used a MegaRAID controller and 5 > 250GB SATA drives.
