i contacted gateway and they're sending a replacement drive.

im thinking about keeping the external, for burning DVD's/ripping etc.

to try and keep the laser functioning. i backup lot's DVD's I 'already own'

and keep the internal for when i take it out to work or whatever.

 

not sure. yet. i gotta look into it. i read a rumor that alot of gateway lasers die out after a year. google search here i come.

 

thanks again man.

i need some advice.

my logic board failed on my ibook....

and i have alot of documents i can not afford to lose.

basically my screen wont show anything.

i thought about repairing it myself...

i.e.

http://www.coreyarnold.org/ibook/

 

or letting the apple professionals charge me $400

 

according to that web site its a small piece that needs some sort of pressure applied to it.

if thats the case that would save me a shit load of mula.

 

i was thinking about a hard drive enclosure....to save my documents.

never used one before...or wouldnt even know how to use it.

how would that work with a computer with a screen that wont show anything?

:confused:

My iTunes is acting crazy. When some songs play, they start up at random times, ie: 1:35 into the song. Other times the song starts with only a couple of seconds left. This even happens to the songs when I put them on my iPod. I've checked all the song options, and all of the songs are set to start at zero, so it's not like the songs file has been set to start at a certain point within the track. Any help, experience with this?

creamypotato: torrents are the answer to your recovery problem. http://www.scrapetorrent.com and search "recovery"

add your phone type. example: +nokia +6555

 

 

 

creamy: windows media player sucks. http://www.winamp.com and get rid of realplayer

go with http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_Alternative.htm

thanks casek-

 

but i was talking about mms as in a file that windows media player would pick up. apparently you need urlsnooper or some program to pick that link up, its the url addy that tells windos media player to open cuz of a video file.

 

another question- anyone know where i can find either an estonian, slovakian, or irsh proxy that could handle video feed from nba.com? im trying to take advantage of free broadband league pass to countries that don't have intl distribution deals with the nba.

 

thanks- i wish i knew enough about computers to help others
