Amazon.com said this about my book:

Shipping estimate: November 30, 2007 - December 3, 2007

Are those the dates between which my book will probably arrive, or the dates between which my book will probable be shipped out?

I used to be a Mac person...was raised with Apples since kindergarten, and I'm talking old sh*t - (though I have nothing but respect and admiration for those who were into computers before me! Yay for old hackers! :-) Seriously.)

In school, we used Apple II's, IIe, IIc, IIgs. Later the cursed 52xx all in one series, and the LC/Performa 5xx series, etc. And later, iMacs.

Our family had several kinds of Macs as well, including a Quadra 950 and IIfx.

But, I digress.

I switched to PC in 9th grade, personal choice, and have never looked back. I realized that I needed to actually DO stuff with a computer...and I enjoy building my own and tinkering, something you never could do that well with Macintosh's.

As for Apple's current incarnation of it's OS...well, I barely recognize it...the last one I used with any regularity was 8.6...so a while ago.

So, what are you? Mac or PC?
Why? Why not?
I'd love any answers, verbose or spartan, because frankly, I'm bored :-)

Well, my dad is having issues establishing an internet connection via wireless. I told him I'll take care of it since i'm the "tech" guy of the house. I'm also the one who set up the entire network. I checked it out, his p.c. is picking up the his new wireless. I can locate the network, it received the password to access the network just fine. My problem is his p.c. "attempts" to receive an IP address from the router, and it "continues" to try and receive an IP address. It just stops there. It actually kept trying for about 1 1/2 hours when I finally just disabled it and told him just "let it go" until I figure out what's going on. It's just "spinning it's wheels" I checked his p.c. activity and it's just idle. I set his preferences to auto-receive the IP address and it still won't work. I double checked my network, and everythings fine. If you need more detail in a certain area just ask & I'll be happy to fill you in. Any & all help will be appreciated. Thx! ^_^

I reinstalled Windows XP MCE 2005 SP2. During re-installation the i386 registry files were not found. I prompted to find them the my re-installation CD or my PC didn't have them. I continued the reinstallation now IM encountering errors with my PC.

My media center Video, live TV option won't work. I get some weird JIT debugging error.

If this helps I have a dell deminsion 5100 and I used the red Windows XP MCE 2005 SP2 CD that came with the PC.

I can get online, open file, but i can't access my firewall either.

i thought about buying Windows XP MCE 2005 SP2 from a regular retailer but if I do i want to make sure that'll fix the problem

Have tried to open with Internet Explorer, it appears to open momentarily and then reverts back to DO YOU WANT TO OPEN OR SAVE this file continuously. Am I using the wrong program to open it. Does anyone have any suggestions please.

I struggle with Excel. There has to to be a way to convert minutes to billable/decimal time. Can someone help me please?
Example: Say I work on a project for 18 minutes. I need to convert that to 'point' whatever hours to bill a client. I want to have a column with the billable hours (then I have the second column with a description of the work done). How do I do that?

Thanks in advance! I have tried to figure it out on my own with no luck!

I heard in a video to put it as high as possible because the waves fall down, giving better signal. Is this true?
