Westnet and get max speed of 425 KB/s, most of the time because we are 3km from
the nearest exchange we run at only 250 KB/s. takes 35 to 45 minutes
minimum to download one episode of House! But

speedometer of the ISP or one of the free ones on
the i/net ?

read, but not edit, documents. For that, there are other options. If you want
to edit MS Office documents you can use Pages, Keynote and

Not an easy one to answer I'm afraid. As it depends on the channel being

for.

Hi, the reason to have your Mac Mini with EyeTV on a network is so that you
have the program guide for recording programs easily. You just click on the
program in the guide to set up the recording. If you are not on a network

Hi
I think you will find it is iTunes 9.2 with support for iOS 4.0
iOS 4.0 has not been released yet!
I updated the iMac this morning, besides compatibility with iOS 4.0
the update also includes improvements to better manage the album

But, I downloaded it from the Apple Download site and everything has gone well

After you install iTunes 9.2 open iTunes from your Applications folder (not the
dock) and it will update your Library.
