Re: [H] DSL modems
John, Thank you. I do not do wireless at all. I remain prehistoric.

Re: [H] DSL modems
Ben, OK. I'm chicken! Have not done the 1-800 route yet. Perhaps tomorrow. I'm just too stewed ATM the moment. Gotten tired of the many Disconnect/Reconnect cycles at the router.

Re: [H] Eudora 8
OK. That is a nice report. But, can/could you pick up stuff from Eudora to the new "skin?" Or, is there facility to do this? I was tremendously impressed with FF just going in and grabbing what it found 'necessary' from IE! Damn, it came up ready to fully Rock&Roll.! Really impressive; and, why I will now stay with FF. Hell, I did need a new task to learn anyway.. :) Best, Duncan At 16:31 07/30/2008 -0300, you wrote: At 04:19 PM 30/07/2008, DHSinclair wrote: Interesting. Not certain how to read the page though.

Re: [H] Opinion
I too went with an Apple Airport Extreme about a year ago and love it. Seems to be much more stable than the procession of Netgear/D-link routers that preceded it in my household. The main reason I got it was for iChat - there were so many darn ports to forward to get the audio and video working on my wife's Macbook that it was just simpler to buy the Apple router and it's one click to enable that service.
