Unfortunately I haven’t heard the end of the call from the guy trying to connect hist Dell with his new Mac.

But if you don’t know your Windows logins or you forgot your password, try: ntpasswd (http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/). It creates a boot disk with a mini linux. After booting you see all the logins on the machine and can delete the passwords. I tried it out. It worked fine.

On the Sunday(5/28/6) radio show a lady caller mentioned that her “geeky” friends recommended she get a new computer with a dual core processor. You went on to tell her about all kinds of Intel processors, but forgot about mentioning the very excellent AMD x2 cores available.

For the guy wanting to play programs recorded on a DirecTV TiVo, there is a gadget called the ACARD AEC-4420P USB Link that consists of and IDE to USB 2.0 interface that connects between the hard drive and controller inside the device and lets you access it externally. I’ve seen them on the net for $17.50 with file transfer software. I don’t know if anyone has used one in a TiVo but there is an article on using one in a Pace Twin in the UK, which is an off the air TV receiver that saves programs on the hard drive similar to a TiVo. The modification is called the Twin Reaper and includes info on connecting an ethernet interface to the unit also.

Windows Genuine Advantage:

Just FYI — I get the error that a Windows installation is not genuine when I try to install Windows Defender and it does not have the most recent updates. I download the latest updates and then it’s fine.

We don’t care how much it costs. I guess that’s a straight thing. We, on the other hand, will gladly pay $150 over list just to make Steve happy.

Two Words Mac Hater: Buffer Overflow.

One of the worst flaws in Windows! Anyone can find stories about how bad Dell, Gateway and HP computers are but we don’t need to put the whole store in the Comment area just give a link. Besides these stories say that some people are having these issues, it doesn’t say that a certain percentage out of the millions that they sell have these issues.

Speechless MacFan Boy??

Thought so.
