Antje:  Glad that you have a smart son  

Adaptable Ali: Thats why i dont like Firefox. It 'gives" you so many "surprises" you havent asked for / need. Happens many times that you get a message "Firefox is uploading blah blah blah and will start in a few minutes".
Not to mention problems like yours with a frozen screen :( No i prefer a reliable browser as Internet Explorer.
Those who like new "toys" can play with Firefox LOL

Gordon Shumway:  Everything i said was c/p from Skype's FAQs...the point is that a computer is needed.

I'm using Skype very often, use to have long video talks with friends in Sweden.  Dont think its as fun using a Skype phone tho :)

wetware: Havent tried that, but i doubt that that's the problem since that computer didnt work when i had it connected direct to the router either, but of course ill try your suggestion :)  thanks

or2ak.com: I also saw a free version at www.piratebay.org but im afraid they add some little worms and horses too :)

or2ak.com:   all free downloads gives you a watermark...:)   if you pay 39.95 its gone LOL

rednaz23: I bought a Microsoft Zune 30 gb...same pricerange, easier to upload music/videos, bigger screen and it has FM radio which i dont think any Ipods have.

Eriisa: Was it easy to install? did you do it yourself?

Arctic Warrior: WOW!..200 feet, thats very good. You can be Internet provider for your neighbors too :)

I've been looking at the G with speedbooster...we have 7 ! desktops and 2 laptops in the house :)

Anyone using it?

anastasia: should be one format which works everywhere only, but i guess there are reasons (money) why they have to make things so complicated

anastasia: i typed convert+mov in Google and i had many hits. There are a lot of programs.
Usually you can download for free and test them.

anastasia: Do you have a Kodak camera? I have a Kodak and the videos come in .mov format = Quicktime movie.
Plays perfect in the computer but not in a DVD-player. There are many programs where you can convert, i tried a free one but it didnt work out too well.
Im sure if you do a google serach for videoconverter you'll be able to find one

furbster: he/she has been on all boards...and no mods are here to ban him/her

harley: Try E-bay :)

harley: I have a feeling that not so many are reading this board :)....I (we) have only HP printers

White Tower:..Thanks ive checked that site, a lot of free "candy" there but i couldnt find what i needed :(

Any suggestion of a program to convert videos from Quick time.mov to .mpeg. The cheaper the better...free = best :)

Rose: My oldest (free) account is from that time too (1997 i think). I wonder how long it will take to be "free", they say "just go to change my account if you want to finish it"...will be another struggle for sure :(

WhiteTower: I second your opinion about Yahoo/geocities..i have a domain/webpage/email there too, i pay $14 / month but each time ill go there i have the same struggle. Last week i couldnt even acces my file manager. Tried to email them but all i could find was FAQs.
Im going to move all my stuff (pics, htmls) to a free account now. Not paying almost $ 200 / year for that crap

Pythagoras: Thanks again...ive copied it to my notepad :)

Pythagoras: Thanks...but i leave it as it is now...if anyone wants it blinking they have to use Netscape LOL..I wont waste more time on it..especially not now since my computer broke :(

Hrqls: Thanks...ill check it out :)

Pythagoras: Thanks for your long reply...and yes i knew that i cant use <blink> in IE...my question remains:

if i want blinking text for BOTH Netscape and IE is there a tag (excuse me for using code) that works for both browsers (IE AND Netscape)?

anyone knows where i can find HTML codes who are working on all browsers?...i used <blink> and it works perfect on Netscape but not IE

Antje: click the right arrow under 'personals" in the left side of the toolbar..then youll see "Webmail" right of where the temperature is..you can do it!!

DanDanDan: dont give up, youll soon learn
you can play here on the swedish site and then compare with the english...thats a good way to learn

DanDanDan: Nights when my wife is working i leave it on and "tune in" Swedish radio...have nothing better to do

DanDanDan: I stop and check my emails on my way to the bathroom LOL

Ferjo: Its a Sony DVD/VCR combo player..no i didnt check on the Video help site...yet :)

Pafl: I downloaded Deep Burner and it works fine.easy to use...BUT im still not able to play the video on a DVD-player

Ferjo: Yup..thats the one. Probably my Nero isnt correct installed ..when i go to "choose recorder" i only get 1 option "image recorder", tried to click help but it doesnt work either

Ferjo: Its TSST Corp TS-H492A

Andersp: It seems that Nero doesnt support my burner so either buy a new burner or use another program or pc ;)

Ferjo and Rahvin: Thanks..yes i have tried Nero and the cd works fine using a pc but when i try to watch it on TV (dvd-player) i have "ERROR"
Ill keep trying, the link (yup it works fine now ) seems to have a lot of good info...thanks both.

Stevie we have noticed a speed increase too after installing the router so if you are abnormal ..you're not alone LOL

Could anyone tell me how to make Cds of videos so they can be played on a DVD player

RAHVIN666: My suggestion is that you go to the routers webpage (is it Linksys?) Im no expert tho. We have five computers here connected to router and a hub..(WITH wires) and it works fine, can be slow if 2 people are downloading music or videos at the same time tho :)

Rose: Been talking to a friend in Sweden for 2 hours now, crystal clear sound all the time...amazing!!

Rose: Testing it now to Sweden Rose...works perfect/clear...and cheap

Anyone using Skype?

http://skype.com/

danoschek: Happy New Year to you too...yes i have good bookmarks but i have another computer now

Once you posted a link to a photoprogram..is it easy for you to do it again?

found it

Stevie: we have cable modem too. When Antje is using her laptop she has it connected to a router (wired of course ) I doubt that you can add a laptop to your pc but im no expert :)

Internet will crash in 2006 -Finnish professor to STT

18.10.2004 at 10:36

The internet will crash in 2006, goes the bleak forecast by Professor Hannu H. Kari of the Helsinki University of Technology.

He added in an interview to the Finnish News Agency (STT) that the demise of the internet is very likely when current indicators are considered.

Prof Kari said his vision is not even the worst case scenario, which says the internet will likely crash significantly earlier.

The explosive growth of computer viruses and unsolicited email has contributed to the coming crash. The next phases are the deterioration of computer grid reliability and an increase in the manipulation of internet content, the professor spells.

Finally, the entire system will crumble to bits as the sheer bulk of rubbish circling around in the net exceeds the public pain threshold, confidence in information retrieved online plummets and attacks do away with reliability, Prof Kari, known for his pessimistic internet forecasts, said.

Further, when the internet is no longer operational for business purposes, one has to time warp back 10 to 20 years and make do without information networks, he continues.

"The problem is that we have so many ill-meaning people who intentionally seek to do harm. Earlier, the internet has coped with the excess baggage and the additional needs because everyone wanted the same things and behaved well," Kari recalls.

Preparedness is the best weapon to guarantee future security on the internet, Kari urges.

"We cannot stick our heads in the bush and tell ourselves that everything is OK. We simply have to start from the premise that we have to undertake pre-emptive decisions."
