Does anyone know if there is some kind of "auto-pause" feature in FF 2.0? I found--viz. Stumble Upon--a page with a "100 Best Covers" list and some sound samples/you tube clips. It wasn't doing it last night, but for some reason if that tab or FF isn't the focus, it is automatically pausing the...

While I appreciate the advice, I'd like to keep the pen cost below $30. In that range, most of my research has indicated the Phileas or the Safari are the pens to get. So far, I'm leaning toward the Safari with a fine point, simply because I'm told it writes a bit better than the Phileas. I'd...

As the title says, I'm looking for a source for a Waterman Phileas. Preferably in the gift box with several cartridges, the blotter papers, bottle of ink, and converter. My only caveat is that I'd love to get a fine nib, while the "package" set I describe comes with medium. I found an e-tailer...

Is 7.0 still as buggy as was initially claimed to be?

Well, I don't have the iPod (or anything else, for that matter) to test it with yet. I thought I recalled USB 2.0 coming out sometime after I bought my laptop. Maybe I'll hold off on ordering a PC Card until the iPod arrives and see how the transfer speed seems to perform.

Depends on the individual, I guess. Almost every pre-med I've met during my undergraduate tenure--with one exception--is number 1. One of my friends jokingly (but truthfully) says he pursues the "divine mandate" (MD) to obtaion "cash-money-hos." Conversely, I saw a lot of Doctors at the Mayo...

You're confused, I think . I wanted an iPod. I only have USB 1 and one firewire port on my computer. I initially asked if the 5G supported Firewire. When I was told no, I began looking for alternatives. At the time, I had no idea that I could get Cardbus cards that would give me USB 2.0...

Thanks for the help folks, I'll pick one up. My only concern is getting a good card. Almost all of them on New Egg have comments about them breaking, but I'd like to think this is because users with a good experience were disinclined to comment.

See one above your post for specs on the card (in the edit). Based on the reading I've done it should be fine. TI's site makes it sound like it'll support type i-iii, and that its a 32-bit card.

Alright--to make a long story short, I'm looking to get an iPod, and it looks like for the price of a 4Gen + the extra firewire cable I may as well just get the 5G and a PCMCIA USB 2.0 card. This is predicated on my laptop having a PCMCIA card--its got a cardbus card, and while a combination of...

So now that I'm back home with my laptop, I have some kind of a slot, as I thought. I have no clue what it is though, and don't have my CPU's manual handy. Anyone know the computer well enough to comment?

What if I hunted down a 4G? Are they firewire compatible?

****ty. So there is no way I could connect an iPod to my laptop? I mean, USB 1.0 would be horrendously slow, not?

So I mentioned a way back that I was planning on purchasing an iPod, and was now going to bring that goal to fruition. However, I'm unclear--are the 5G (particularly the "old" 60GB 5G iPods) compatible with Firewire? My laptop doesn't have USB 2.0, but it does have a firewire port.
