Re: audible.com question
I just put my audible books in to a folder called audible books. Then I import that folder in to my itunes.

I had been to the Audible site, and seen that I didn't need to download any software, but wasn't sure what the next step was, as I figured I had to do something to authorize Audible on this computer. I do have one question. On my Windows machine, there was actually a folder called Audible Downloads. There does not seem to be a counterpart on the Mac. So, I guess my question has two parts: 1. Re the book I just downloaded, should I leave it in the downloads folder, or should I move it? If I should move it, where should I move it to? 2. To what folder should I copy the Audible files from my PC? ITunes Music?

Press s y quickly or Arrow down to get to the System Preferences menu option and press enter. 3.

In the Accounts Menu, VO-Right Arrow from the toolbar to the Groups and Login Options list and interact (VO-Shift-Down Arrow). 6. The first item should be your friend's account, and you'll hear his login name followed by a description of his account access level, such as Admin, Standard, or Sharing Only. What gets announced as his account access? If your friend does not have Admin status, you cannot run the system update from his account. Is there some other account listed in the login options list that says Admin? As Jonathan says, you should be able to use the install DVD to set up an Admin account and password if one is not present, but the problem is that if there were any other system actions that have been performed that required login and password, you will lose the record of these permissions that have been kept in the system's keychain permission records. If your friend does have Admin status, you can try to stop interacting (VO-Shift-Up arrow), and tab over to the Change Password button and press it (VO-Space). Problem is, you'll have to type in an old password (twice, to verify your typing) and then a new password. If there really was no old password, you can leave the old password field empty and just press enter each time, then type in your new password. But if you couldn't just type in a new password the way that Max suggested, the chances are that there was a password set up, but your friend either didn't know it or has forgotten it, because he has set up his machine to allow him to automatically log in. Remember when you type user name and password that these entries may be case sensitive. I'm not sure how to proceed if this is the case and you can't set a password. You should be able to insert the original install DVD and restart holding down the C key. After you turn on VoiceOver with either Command-F5 or Fn-Command-F5 and get past the keyboard and language screens you should be able to go to the menu bar with VO-M and right arrow over to Utilities, then choose an option to Reset Password. I'm not able to check this here, so maybe Jonathan or someone else can assist. However, if you do reset the password you can use that password to run the updates.

Also, it is well advised for security reasons, to not use the Administrator login created at system startup for day to day activities.

The only tricky part I couldn't really figure out initially is I had open a note and tried typing, but that wasn't quite as successful, but then I also had the phone tied to the alarm cable, which didn't let me get to far. :) Then I hit home and tried to navigate to another app while the notes was open and I heard letters and application names. Well, for not having used the phone ever, it wasn't bad and I really didn't have a good environment to play in, but the volume was just loud enough for me to do a bit of playing. I think it would have been easier if I had been able to just hold the phone without any wires and walk around/out the door, I mean really get into playing with it. Now here is the best part.

My experience with the pac mate and street talk, is that: 1, the gps receiver provided with the package can be far too tardy in tracking satelites, or being tracked by them, take your pick. 2, you need a blue tooth card installed in one of the cf slots, and your maps installed in the other, which means you need to do some jiggling around and setting up before you can get going. 3, I found that the entire setup was a hoffible drain on the pm battery.

I have a pair of e-macs that I upgraded to Leopard in the last 6 months and I am soo much happier.

It's hard to find info on this since many of the articles and sites are connected to selling software to find/scan/remove bad stuff which may or may not even be needed. Likewise articles from blackhat conferences and the like only prove that it is possible but provide no context as to whether these things are really being done in the real world. My own anecdotal evidence is that not a single Mac owner I know of nor on any mac- related mailing list I'm on has had a single mention of somebody getting infected with something on the Mac. This isn't proof, but it's a high correlation between using a mac and safe computing. Others might still argue that as the Mac market share has grown the oasis of pulchritude is drying up and we'll be just like Windows when the baddies take notice. Maybe, but so far the ice hasn't cracked and nobody has fallen through. CB James Nash wrote: Hi folks, With all this talk of viruses on the list recently this got me thinking.
