RE: AVG 8.5 - upgrade to 9.0??
Well, day 2 without AVG's link scanner and no more issues for me as mentioned earlier in this thread.FYI - I just received an AVG update to 9.0.704. I turned the Link Scanner back on to see if there is any change.

RE: Microsoft - XP vs 7
For the XP users out there, there is no "upgrade" to Win7. M$ calls it a "migration" as you can't do an in-place upgrade. You do a fresh install, install all your apps, and then Win7 will migrate your documents, settings, and some registry info for your apps but it won't copy the actual apps.Would someone please explain to me how this is different from buying a new machine with Win 7 on it? You still need to migrate your data and reinstall all of your apps no?

RE: Outlook Express
Have you tried File->Save As on the original message and then attaching the saved copy to a new message?

RE: A True PC vs. Mac Usage Comparison
.. and don't forget the mid term (service packs) because things didn't quite work the way they were supposed to.
It's the old head-in-the-sand problem.

RE: 2nd MALWARE in two months, I can't believe it!!!
From the looks of things it isn't the first time Slacker has been involved in malware issues. I've even removed it from my iPhone.

RE: The Droid cometh!
Today, a Tethered DROID does both. The DROID is connected to the GPS satellites and Internet at the same time with one USB connection.I didn't want to interfere with everyone's good time on the other thread, but even my non-multi-tasking, non-smartphone iPhone has been doing this since the day after I picked it up.

RE: The Droid cometh!
if you buy a phone for status than your stupid.I think the only person who intimated that anyone bought an iPhone for status was the moderator who, even thought he refers to it as the Jesus phone, does not have an attitude about it. Everyone else who has one on this forum appears to have purchased it for its usefulness.

RE: The Droid cometh!
Hmmm... seems someone has an "addytude" about the iPhone. It truly never occurred to me that multi-tasking OS was a requisite for a "smart phone". Maybe you could give us some real life examples of how we would appreciate a true multi-tasking OS on our smartphones.
I would have thought a phone that does more that you ever could have thought it could do would qualify. Heck, my Razr could go on the Internet, but it never changed my life the way the iPhone has.
We have yet to see what a truly "smart" phone can do - to think the Droid is the answer or that the iPhone is not, is a mistake.

RE: Wow, Another E-reader Announced
I just learned that my home country has a reciprocal agreement with a neighboring county and they have a pretty nice looking selection for their e-book program. Now all I need to do is go get a card and I'm all set.

RE: Wow, Another E-reader Announced
Kindle owners.....can you borrow books from the library? As I posted earlier, The Rhode Island library system lends e-books the same was they do paper ones. You wait in line and have a time limit. Hopefully this will spread quickly to other systems.

I'll ignore the icon for a while - hopefully if that is the problem they will get a fix out. Please keep us posted if you find it's something else.

RE: The Droid cometh!
The iPhone also requires a $30 data to what ever your voice plan is, AFAIK, the only people paying less bought the iphone and Jailbroke it and are using a different sim cardOr those of us with corporate discounts (from one of our clients). :W
I just checked my bill. The voice is $39.99, data $30 but then I get a $17.28 (~25%) discount. It looks like the comparable plan from Verizon is only $10 more than my plan with no discount.

RE: The Droid cometh!
Wow - seems pretty steep. I only pay $59/month for my iPhone and 450 minutes with rollover minutes. I do have a vendor discount but not 40%!!! I guess they charge me less because AT&T has such a lousy footprint. :W

RE: GPS street directions work OK over your FM radio ?
I would get something like this: AES-4 10 watt 12vdc amplified speaker and wire it in or use a cigarette lighter adapter then plug it into the earphone jack on your GPS.

So you don't see this as a defensive move eh? A little concerned about the reception of the new product maybe? :w
