I was helping a neighbor with her new broadband today and she's into
classic movies. So I started telling her about the internet. But

Over the past 20 years I have been very thankful for cable.
There are many areas of the US where TV station coverage is slim.
When we lived in Canada, we have about 8 different stations
(Canadian, NY and PA) to pick from without cable (not present) When
we lived in Rural Wisconsin we had
Brother HL-2170W Wireless Laser Printer for $90 + free shipping
Setting up a Brother printer can be hair raising. To get the low price
they have cobbled together a bunch of open source software for the
printer's controller and the documentation is slim. So if you are good

ethernet to the router, USB to the Airport, or either to the

Ethernet to the router is easiest because there are fewer variables to

Now we're getting somewhere. These guys have links to download the
movies alongside a viewer. I wonder how long it will take me to
download Night of the Living Dead (4.1gb mpg2) from them?
If I read it correctly, their mpeg2 files are at full DVD resolution also.

I recall seeing this idea at least 20, maybe 30 years ago. It's not a
new idea at all. When Nielsen found people blatantly cheating in their
diaries (who *didn't* say they watched all the Star Trek episodes -
we'd seen them all 5 times already anyway), they started installing
tuners that actually

Depends on whether Comcast is your ISP.

How can I find out what the largest usable internal HD is for this
computer (SR2032X)? Compaq's website only lists what came in the PC
originally which is a HP 200GB Serial ATA 3G 7200 and lists for $200,
which is overpriced as well.
Also, any recommendations for HD manufacturer?
Thanks,
There won't be any real limit. Buy whatever you can afford. But
remember - 2 drives is safer than one. Your daily backups need to be
to a second physical drive.

If the drive interface does more than 128 GB (28-bit Logical Block Addressing),
then it does the next step which is 48-bit LBA, and is huge. We aren't close
to manufacturing drives that will exceed that limit.

Twice as fast in lab tests run by lab rats. Remember how fast Apple used to

tell the difference in render times between say IE or firefox or Safari.
The biggest benefit I see trying out Safari is Apple knows how to render
If you are on dial-up, a fast browser won't make a difference, eh?

Suggested solution is to download a previous version and install it,

It should be the administrators password he setup when he first installed it.
Unless there is a lot of stuff you want to save, a new install is the
way to go.

If everyone started downloading 4 GB movies, could the current
internet handle the capacity? If not, is this something we really want or
need?
That is why it is estimated that 1/3 of the Internet's bandwidth is used
for such uses.

You should be able to Google a password reset utility quite easily. Last
time I needed to do this the whole process tool barely 10 minutes. You
download a boot disk image with Linux and a script to zero out the

But not by 1/3 of the users.
