First gen did. Second gen which came out just a bit ago is much better. I actually looks a lot like a 3rd gen iPod. And they lowered the price quite a bit. But really I don't think Apple is worried. The iPod market is already becoming saturated and margins are slipping. They've made their killing and I believe are moving on to other markets that have yet to develop. Think iPhone.

Since we're being pedantic, strictly speaking, 133MB/s is correct, since the M denotes the SI prefix mega--which is by authoritative definition decimal (base 10). Technically, you would either need to qualify as a binary Mega(byte), or use the IEC standard binary prefix (ie: mebibyte). 133MB/s = 127.2MiB/s.

Re: [H] Cox blocking
Strange it would do that ONLY when sending mail to customer service addresses. I honestly can't imagine this could be the whole story on your problem. It would imply that Cox is blocking outgoing mail to particular userids. Are you actually connected to a Cox internet connection and trying to deliver it through the proper Cox smtp server?? Does your ISP require or support SMTP authentication and have you enabled it in Eudora? Assuming you aren't making a typo in the 'To:' field of you mail client, often times a smtp server will reject mail with a 553 code when the person/host trying to send the mail is using a different internet provider or if the from/return address on the email is not a valid address for that ISP.

Re: [H] Cox blocking
That's what I thought too Tharin. I know a lot of ISPs are blocking email servers inside their networks to cut down on spam. Maybe this is somehow related to that. Could you maybe take a look at the email headers? Maybe there is a weird relay there or something.

I use Godaddy's, and even though it gets blocked when I try to send it out of Eudora using Godaddy SMTP or Outlook using COX SMTP, I can log into my Godaddy email web interface and send things out just fine. so it isn't Godaddy ... it has to be COX... no??

I don't use my ipod to watch videos, so the larger screen doesn't interest me. As for the software, I suppose it's subjective. I have yet to find anything that is as nice to use as iTunes to use. The Creative software that I used with my Vision:M was terrible.

Re: [H] Is the Zune really back?
This is one area that Windows Mobile shines. OTA syncing with Exchange over HTTP. You can even do quasi-push email by having the phone keep it's HTTP connection open for a long time, and if there is new mail that shows up while the connection is open, the server sends it on down to the phone. Even Palm OS type devices support OTA syncing with Exchange, although in slightly crappier form. Chris Reeves wrote: It will synchronize calendars with outlook on exchange though.

Re: [H] Is the Zune really back?
For one, many Exchange admins don't allow IMAP access to their servers. Secondly, with Exchange you'd also sync your calendar and contact lists as well. It's really more useful if you're using Exchange for collaboration with colleagues at work, and you want to replicate the functionality of Outlook on your mobile device.

Re: [H] Cox blocking
For an ISP to block a particular userid is a strange idea to me. Do a test by using an email account that is configured with all your valid Cox credentials first. Setup eudora, outlook, or whatever with an account that has your Cox address as the from and reply-to address. Looks like your smtp server is smtp.west.cox.net Section V of the following link may have details pertinent to your trouble. http://www.cox.com/sandiego/highspeedinternet/spamfaq.asp -Tharin O.

Re: [H] Playing?
The fact that the hard drive was formatted with Win2K/XP is why you see the NTLDR message, this is nothing to worry about. The more pressing issue is why your CD-ROM did not boot. If the cd was burned properly it should have booted. An ISO is a disc image and would already contain the necessary boot loader if thats how the cd was meant to be used. Did you actually create a cd FROM a disc image or did you just place the iso file onto the cd??? What I mean is if you look at the contents of your cd drive from windows do you see a bunch of files or just one little lonely iso file?? The burned cd should have a volume name of FreeNAS_cd, a directory called boot and a couple of gnuzipped files in the root path, 17 files in all on the cd. Just in case... try using Active@ ISO Burner, a small freeware utility, to burn a new disc. It is designed to just burn iso files.

I have /make data cd/ or /make bootable cd/. as opposed to making a plain old Data cd. I'm afraid you did the latter and this is a common mistake by folks who haven't really dealt with disc images before. have made both. Neither has worked. Depending on whether you are using Nero, Nero Express Believe it is Nero Express. /It was a free cd with my dvd burners from AOpen. Says v6.0. , or the Nero gui frontend, the option to do it is in a different place. If need be, check the 'Help' in Nero. I will.later.
