networked drive or network? - 17 years ago

need to find a better way to share the occasional large file(s) on the job, under pressure, between a couple pbooks. Normally I'm rigged with 2 pbooks, an ext FW HD for each and a floating FW buss powered mini. The buss powered mini blows by todays standards; and having to mount and unmount. Stupit. USB flash drives are OK for their size, but sometimes leave me short; and still require pluggi

Re: Using a vzwireless phone as a modem, some Q's - 17 years ago

with regard to VZW, rather then the whining.... most Moto's and LGs and others VZW offers will do "modem". a good place to research the phone choices available, out of the mother hens box, is With a data cable or bluetooth phone, you can connect for purposes of email. The $15 bit refers to adding the Vcast stuff to your acct and making email available on the sly, as it were.

Re: iTunes playlist too long? - 17 years ago

iTunes playlist too long? - 17 years ago

trying to burn 40 cuts (aiff) w/iTunes. iTunes stalls after reading playlist. Does iTunes have a playlist length limit? They're all edited to 1:00. Tracks all play fine in iTunes. iTunes burns well otherwise. I burned them as plain vanilla disc and they play fine. wtf?

Re: Canon MP780 Replacement Ink - 17 years ago

I used ink packaged by G&G and made in the US. I got it from for no particular reason, but the price was decent. So far so good. Also used the same stuff in a Brother MP type printer with good results. Been a couple weeks to a month.

curious, how long to start-up? - 17 years ago

I have a 2G dualie G5 w/1.5M ram. It takes about 1:10 for the start-up to complete, until the HD stops the "active" spinning, after entering password. How long does yours take?

I have an S1 that I think does pretty well indoors with flash. It tends to be a little over lit depending on the distance, but in focus.

Re: Household plumbing water shut-off question - 17 years ago

the 1/4 turns are great. Contractor gave me some $*** about it. Didn't seem any harder to install when I had to do them on a weekend repair. But I like them. When we redo the kitch and 2nd bath this year, they're going in there too. Now if there is a water emergency, my wife can shut them off, NP.

Re: Steely Dan - 17 years ago

I saw Steely open for ELO when both were with original (or close to) line-ups at Avery Fisher. I went for ELO as I was big fan of p-rock, but ELO was drunk as any good English band at the time was. Steely Dan, who I wasn't much interested in, kicked butt. I went and bought the first 3 LPs the next day. Shame the 'aven't done pi$$ since Royal Scam. But then ELO didn't do pi$$ after Eldo
