Re: [CGUYS] G5 grace period question
Thanks for confirming our experience Tom. We thought we couldn't be happier with our computer experience before.. now we're closer to *knowing* we couldn't be happier with our computers. Might even end up putting onto the car, one of the many white Apple stickers we have laying around here. I didn't buy a lottery ticket btw.. figuring we pay enough taxes. Charles On Nov 16, 2007, at 9:16 AM, Tom Piwowar wrote: Our G5 repair has resolved. We called Apple Should I buy a lottery ticket tomorrow or what? This is not an unusual story. Apple's excellent customer service will often bend over backwards to treat a customer right. So you should not generalize. You won't win the lottery and there are still PC vendors out there who will screw you at the slightest opportunity. ** ** * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Re: [CGUYS] What a mess...

So now I have the Linksys wireless sending info to the Lap Top that is connecting thorugh the old Access Point. Will disconnect the Access Point and most likely I will have the same problem: no connection with the workgroup coming from the Linksys. Hope I am clear...

Re: [CGUYS] Short USB extension cord
I have a 6 one that came with my Targus presentation mouse, Same problem, overcrowding on the back of laptops with USB devices. I use it when needed. I just got a Dlink USB Wireless adapter for my TIVO. It has an adapter that has about a 2 ft extension on it to plug the Adapter in so it is not sticking in the back. I notice Dlink and Belkin include these pretty much as standard with their USB adapters. Smart Idea. Stewart At 02:57 PM 11/16/2007, you wrote: I got something like that for my son to use with his memory stick. I think I got it at Staples. It was actually less than 2 total length, and had a joint in it so you could rotate the female part up or down out of the plane of the male part. This would make nearby ports more accessible, but that is not why I got it for him. He has bad luck with flash drives, probably because he is not gentle enough pulling them out of the computer and is breaking an internal connection, so he now keeps his drive plugged into the extension. Something else that would work is the travel USB cord that I got at some airport store. It is a USB extension cord and the cord is on a spring-loaded spool that is less than 6 at its shortest and extends to 6'. It came with adapters to all the different USB ends and was especially convenient for traveling when I had two digital cameras with different types of USB sockets.

I can't decipher the squiggles except for the middle one) I've decided to rip the piles of CD's I have to make them more accessible. I started doing this after I installed Leopard.
