I use AVG on my laptop too.. seems fine. In terms of the free ones, it's probably about the best (and even better than some paid-for ones!)

Adium is my all time favourite application I think.

It's will also increase security. I wouldn't even DREAM of putting my laptop on a Uni network permenantly - you might as well just be on the internet! Heh.

See, I'd want a router.. then it all appears to be coming from one MAC address, AND you're firewalled from all the other people. A router is the way IMO. You effectively would have your own mini-network behind the main network. All your PCs would be nat'd behind it.. eaaaaaaasy.

1.4GHz Xeon: http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL4WX# (But yea.. the Dell 1650 looks like a PIII :))

Good work! :)

You push to an Express. You pull from a Soundbridge. That's the way it's described. :rasp:

Not a P3 Xeon? ;)

You play music on your laptop, it plays via the speakers on the Express.

The Soundbridge is good if you have a HiFi or similar, and just want to play music from a media server. You can just navigate all the tunes from the unit itself, as opposed to having to play it on the PC. Both have different uses.. for me, the Express is much better, as I always have my laptop...

That's pull, not push.. :) The only way to get round it, is to setup a stream on the computer and connect that too it, but you get a delay of like 8 seconds or something. Airport Express is the way.. (I looked at this stuff quite a bit a month ago as I wanted to do the same thing) (Bluetooth...

The Airport Express is amazing. Obviously only supported in iTunes, but Airfoil does a good job. If you buy like, 4 of them for the house, you can stream to all of them too! (And boost your signal whilst you're at it, if you use WDS). Very good piece of kit.

It pulls music doesn't it? The Express will Push.. (as will Bluetooth speakers) which may be better.

Apple Airport Express with Airfoil would do what you need. I guess Bluetooth speakers also.

Good work. :D

Ah cool! :) DSL still owns it tho ;)

I'm not saying Cable is a poor thing to have.. it's perfect for most people.. all I'm saying is, it's not for me! :)

You had a poor DSL account then. Virgin XL is 384kb up isn't it?

Upload speeds? There's one way without even thinking. :p

Yea.. it can only be installed/distributed on a fully assembled PC pretty much now (on Vista OEM definetly). Although, resellers still sell us OEM licenses on their own - they don't come with media any more, we had to buy a media pack seperately! We obviously install it on a new PC and send it...

I buy OEM all the time to install myself on new PCs.. there has to be some "common sense" else it could never be sold by anyone but the original manufacturer of the PC.. which is nonsense, as it also applies to system builders/IT service suppliers.

I'm suprised someone as "computer orientated" as you even has Cable to start with! I wouldn't touch it personally.. (providing DSL or a decent equivalent is in the area)

There's also http://www.getpaint.net/ but not sure exactly how good it is..

Not really anymore.. the whole Mac is good for design is a myth. At the end of the day, it's just a PC running OSX... Heh.

That's only a rumor tho.. the CoreDuo was "supposed" to be the last Mini.. then we got Core2Duo's.. so..

I'm sure only HP do that dirty trick. There was a bug with the original 2007 uninstaller.. in that it didn't remove all files. If you were using Office 2003 VLK for example at work, you had to uninstall the 2007 trial, and install 2003 (obviously).. but it caused crap with the files it left...

Heh.

It's Release Candidate 1 at the moment.. You can get the update which makes it appear in Windows Update (which didn't work for me) or just download the redistributable (430MB or something). Something broke tho on my laptop.. it no longer sleeps on lid down, and that was before SP1! Sucks...

That's what happens when you try to be clever and get a cheaper deal by threatening to cancel methinks! ;) http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=278404 Ahwell :D
