Has anyone considered the possibility that it may be an ISP issue in only one area? If the people having problems might tell us their basic location that might help...different ISPs perhaps but same backbone?

Found it!

Here's the link it goes to:

 Speaking of banners...I saw one a few times announcing a store closing on 5/4 that is still running around. I think it was for the guy with the Xerr poses? It's a white banner with big text ..something on the order of "last Chance". If I see it again I will screen cap it.

::cheer:: Sparkchaser lives!

LOL...I used to say that. Until WOW sucked me into its clutches for 2 years. It took becoming a Rendo merchant to tear me away. I never even WAS a gamer until WOW. Somehow I ended up running a large raiding guild before I knew it and actually understood all the slang my kid was using. Family fun for all was had, but scary at my age! You're not living til you kill monsters with your whole family every Friday night!

Well...I finally stopped playing WOW, but it does do one of the mainstream ones quite fine, headset, macros & all. There's other games, but WOW's the biggest I think for Mac.

LOL...try buying mac software through Dell. We have a Dell account because my hubby and son are on PCs. I can't navigate their website much less their customer service. I do particularly like how they structure thier warranties though. You cannot purchase a warranty on their Dell business credit. You must pay cash to extend. Wonder why THAT is? In fact, my sys admin hubby whose hobby is writing operating systems for Linux has finally had enough of his PC and is moving to Mac this year. No more lost email, system meltdowns, and endless updates. I can't wait to see a switch live before my eyes and see how he adapts. zai

Quote - I always get asked this question a lot:

Short answer:

I got a bluetooth wireless adapter for an older MAC.  It came with a CD & 3 1/2 pages of instructions on how to install the drivers so that it would work under windows.

MAC instructions:

Plug device into a USB port. 

That was it.

Everything ssgbryan said I agree with pretty much completely. > Quote - is probably why I'll never be able to afford to own a Mac. I'm quite happy with my $899 quad core Gateway.  I'd have to be able to get four times as much done with the Mac, to be able to justify it.

You will..guaranteed. Peng..."Actually, amortization already does that for you. " Exactly. My current mac is 5 years old. It wasn't until just this year I even decided to add ram, taking it from 2.5G to 6.5G. If something DOES happen, my G4 that's about 9 years old will fire up immediately, running the same software I have on this one and I may be a bit slower, but still completely functional. I shop online anyway so ordering things online is no hassle. If I need to go to an actual store..there's Apple stores all over now. Or Fry's. Or CompUSA. A lot of software comes bundled as PC and Mac as well. Times I've reinstalled the OS: 0 Times I've reinstalled ANY software at all: 0 Times I've had to call Apple for service: 0 Times my computer has been down for ANY reason: 0 Number of viruses I've had with NO firewall ever: 0 It runs 24 hours a day, under fairly heavy load about 16 hours a day. My version of normal use is having 2 broswers, FTP, 2-3 200MB+Photoshop files open plus assorted smaller ones, Illustrator, Quark, Email, plus I may be watching a movie as well. That's 5 YEARS folks. Imagine how much downtime a normal PC has in that time. I get annoyed when my computer even THINKS about hesitating for a command, so for me to still be happy with it with no reason to buy another 5 years in is pretty much a testament to the quality. And its not because I can't afford it. I don't NEED it. I get on a PC and I feel like I'm suddenly locked into cube. It's painful. Watching my PC friends have a system meltdown or a virus panic on a regular basis is painful as well. I just have to shake my head. Why would anyone put UP with that nonsense? If your car had a melt down and the engine had to be rebuilt every 3-6 months you'd think it was a lemon. If you had to update 6 things before you could use it every few days/weeks it would make you insane. Why would you accept that from something you use all day long? It's not about being a snob, although I admittedly AM an Apple snob. It's about whether or not YOU are using the computer, or the COMPUTER is using you. How much is your time worth to you?

Must be something wrong with the file, although it worked when transferred to your doc. The new download did exactly the same thing. Opening that and cutting and pasting it into a new doc didn't help either. Ah well...I will leave it be until later this afternoon and see what else I can think of, save rendering in p4! zai

heh...cross post..doing just that right now..

Hrm...no it was a freebie so I dont think it came with a template. This is the little guy that came with Teo and Telka here in the store. I bought the set and downloaded all the freebies from Nursoda's site. Think I will shoot him an email if I can't find a template or maybe try running UV mapper on it and see what I can see. zai • edit: Newp...no template - just redownloaded and checked, It does say use MacConverter, which I believe I already did with everything. Must have since the rest of it loads properly...the pack and the saddle, etc.
