So... no aTV users here 
Another question: I'm deciding between the 80 and 160 GB iPod Classic. The 160 would let me have all of my music with me in Apple Lossless format! But there are rumors that putting Lossless files on a HD-based iPod wears it out faster, due to the much larger file sizes. Any truth to this?

I am not aware of it impacting on the drive, but larger files do drain the battery more as the hard drive needs to spin alot more to write it to memory.
I am not sure if you are going to hear any difference on the ipod hardware after 256 AAC VBR, maybe easier if you have an external library to dump all your lossless files there and compress them down for the ipod.

I've just downloaded some rather large files and when i try to extract them there is no rar file so i ran all the par files and they all came up as correct and not needing repair. But there is still no rar file so i have no way of opening it as if i click one it just comes up with no files to extract.
Bearing in mind unison displayed 19 transfers as active but there was nothing in the transfer window so i had to force quick the application. Not sure what to do to get these working. Anybody got any idea what to try next or do i need to start all over again?
Thanks!

my imac wont connect to my Netgear wireless router. it sees it, i type in the Correct WEP key, but it comes up with the message
" there was an error joining the airport network "router name" .
yet my Macbook pro and iphone will connect,and so will my girlfriends macbook ,without any issues. the imac will connect, if i take the WEP key off,but i dont really wanna do that.

Well talk about even more stupid, I had to completely disable any wep or wpa as I cant connect to voip when its active. So now I have to tell the router to only allow specific mac addresses to access and I am also hiding the ssid.

Can the white Apple keyboards be used with a pc running vista? I see they connect via usb so i just wondered as one of these would look quite smart with my set up!
