The XP box flaked out and lost an hour to put it back up. I was adding hard drives after I had filled them all up. The Vista box also is having problems. For some reason, it worked with the old PS2 KVM, but no the USB/Audio KVM. Even after I installed the drivers from CD. This last bit is hard to get over. It’s basically unusable now. So, I started copying files off like crazy until I filled up the XP box. And now we’re up to today.
Not a lot of Mac news. I copied current projects that I was working on in the Vista to the Mac.
I googled some info on using iWeb w/o an .Mac account ($100/yr). It seems possible using a seperate FTP program to upload the website. iWeb makes a website on your local computer. It copies this up to Apple’s .Mac accounts. But supposedly you can FTP this folder up to another website, like stephensite.net.
iTunes has gotten a lot of attention lately. I deactived Audible on Vista and activated it in iTunes. The books play well. And I began copying selected music from the big XP drive. There’s 30 gig of books and music on it and there’s no way this will all go on the Mac. It has 42 of 68 gig left and there will be some taken by the iDVD, iPhoto, Audacity, and Garageband working projects. It’s probably time to put together the Mac’s dedicated external hard drive and external DVD burner.
