If you're reading this thread or any voip thread and you see the rave reviews for Vonage please note as always that your "results may vary."
my story is:
I gave Vonage a try on my cable connection to avoid all the land-line fees. The audio quality was terrible! While calls sounded great to me - I was barely audible to others. I called their customer service to see if they had any hints on improving the audio quality... nothing. When I tried to cancel my service the reps repeatedly gave me the run-around. In the end I had to get my credit card company involved to "help" sort things out.
Long story short, Vonage may work for you or it may not; however if you ever need customer service of any type, good luck - you just got what you payed for.
I just tried it before posting - because I was under the impression that it was supposed to "check periodically." Even after manually clicking update I was not notified of the need to update.
FF1.0 on os X. I casual downloaders will get the message otherwise the gains we've seen in usage recently good likely go away.
Give it a try - you may never turn back.
I stopped watching 2 years ago when my free cable got shut-off. Haven't watched more than 12 hours since. With the TV off you'll find lots of additional free time to indulge in more worthwhile pursuits.
TV was the opium of the 80s it's time to kick the habit.
Before itunes was released for windows mac ITMS users where purchasing 600,000 songs a week(7 days). On average that's 85,714 (600,000/7) per day. So we could expect mac ITMS users to purchase around 300,000 songs within a normal 3.5 day period.
Now unless you're suggesting that mac users got so excited about the windows itunes release that they increased their music consumption by 3x +, you're overlooking a 700,000 song gap. I 'll even be conservative and say that probably half a million of the song downloads where definitely pc users.

I'll gladly take that PowerBook off your hands. If you'd like I'll swap you for my Windows laptop. :)
