You can add a wireless connection to the TiVo no problem using a USB wireless adapter - the only hassle is putting in the WEP key, but that is just a time thing... works like a charm to gte updates that way... You then get your (free) TiVo desktop software for your PC, enter the key off the TiVo unit (so that others can't get stuff off your TiVo if you had a unsecured wireless network I guess...), and then copy the programs files across to the PC.... assuming your PC has a wireless connection as well of course (in my case I did not need to use a bridge or any other hardware beyond the USB-wireless adapter for the TiVo already mentioned...) The files can be chunky, WMP-10 (eick) will need a codec to play the file (but there is a registry hack to get one for free - let me know if you want that) and each file has a password that you assign, presumably to stop you handing out the file... You "need" to play any CDs you might cut on the PC that created the file (for authenication purposes) but I am sure there are workarounds... If you have two TiVo units, I believe you can share programs between them...

More than likely, however, Apple will simply say to Intel, "Here, make us Pentium processors that are 99.9% compatible with PowerPC architecture", and then fix the .1% with a software update.

I would expect that if this came to pass that AMD and IBM would second-source the chip, but the whole thing is rather moot right now. Did Intel ever remove that old X86 "hole" from their addressing scheme, which prevented "linear" addressing from 0 up? As I recall it was a memory "hole" between 640K and 1Meg. With all the memory we now use, it may not matter anymore, but was it ever "fixed?" And, of course, there is the little/big endian thing, too, which forced MS to rewrite their Virtual PC software for Apple's G5.

What happened in the days of the original IBM-PC was that the hardware around the CPU stuck non-RAM stuff in that address space because that was the only place they *could* stick it. The 8086/8088 only had a 20-bit address bus giving it 1MB of addressable space. The CPU itself can address that area no trouble and couldn't care less what's in it. In order for machines to remain "PC compatible" they have to maintain this discontinuity. So, the hole in the RAM comes from the PC architecture, not from the CPU powering it. > And, of course, there is the little/big endian thing, too, which forced MS > to rewrite their Virtual PC software for Apple's G5. IMO the Intel way of doing things makes more sense. Whether you want the byte, word, dword or qword value at an address, it's always the same address you use. > Still, it would be nice to be able to boot into Apple, MS, Unix, Linux on > the same platform.

When I pulled the modem towards me so I could unplug it to force a modem "reboot", the power LED went on and off and a popup appeared saying my LAN cable was unplugged. The ethernet cable did look pretty stressed around the connector, so I replaced it, but still no joy. Wiggling the power cable make the power LED go on and off, so that cabel might be iffy too. But my real question is if it powers up when I hit the master ON switch on the power strip the modem powers up and appears to work, but I can't get a link to the outside world unless I unplug the modem and plug it back in again, then it works fine. Any guess as to what's going on? The modem is mine, I don't want to pay to rent one if mine is fixable.
