Speaking of laptops

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

You know what I discovered when I went to setup some things on that laptop so someone could use it today? The last person to take it out returned it sans power adapter! Since the battery is not charged, it’s pretty much useless until we either find it, or order a replacement. (I don’t have any extras, and I would give them the adapter to my personal laptop but it’s a different manufacturer and doesn’t work with it.)We’ve got a call in to the place where it was used last to see if it was left behind. Let’s hope they find it and ship it back. Not that anything can help those people who wanted to use it today. They’ll just have to do without.

    Linux piracy?

    There’s a new channel9 video covering some of the new security features and what the user experience is going to be like. By the way, I agree with what Scott says about it. It is going to be harder for casual end users, because they are going to be expected to think. I have been…

    But I didn’t think it would happen this soon! Jonas dropped me an email early this morning asking why I didn’t cover Feedreader in the latest article. For the record, I did cover Feedreader in one of the followups to Part 1. It crashed repeatedly when I tried to run it and try it out,…

    Last night I found some time to download and install that JetAudio that we were talking about the other day. After some messing around with the file association settings I did get it to work on RealAudio and RealVideo streams on the web. Excellent! Andy as to your trouble with making it the default player…
