shadowkatwhich I'm woefully not. So if you know the answers please comment. Thanks!
1. What is the best wireless or wifi service for laptops? (My friend Wales asked me this yesterday, apparently she'd been stealing wifi off of someone in her building (the guy who broke her vaccume cleaner so it's justified) until he figured it out and got a firewall (note if you are using wifi - you might want to ensure you have a firewall to keep people like Wales from stealing service from you for free) - anyhow, it was a great service - got her video and music downloads and was faster than my cable modem, which is saying something. She calls Verizon who informs her she can't do video or music downloads because it clogs up their service. So what plan doesn't? Is Firefox the one everyone is using or is that just a browser like "explorer"? Can anyone advise? Thanks! Also while you are at it, can you explain to me how you do wireless on the lap? Do you contact a service? Do you just do it? Is it more expensive than Time Warner? Or less?)
2. How do you download MP3 sample songs from the "save file" system? I keep trying to do it from friend's journals and can't figure it out. I have the ability to download songs, I'm pretty certain. Just not sure how to go about it

Date: 2006-11-27 11:02 pm (UTC)Will attempt again. When I do it - I go to this weird screen that says Save File Group, enter password, download. Which is fine, except not sure how to get it after that. That may be the problem accessing the download on my system. Need to figure this out at some point so I can get cheaper access to tunes, as opposed to saving up and buying CD's constantly.
