This plug-in only works for older hotmail accounts. If you were to create a new hotmail account you wouldn't be able to use this plug-in, and therefore would have to purchase the 'plus' package.

The problem with usb drives are that if they are usb powered, unfortunately they won't work since the usb's on Apple's notebooks do not have enough power to power them, unless they fixed this issue. But with the older machines, the powerbooks, they didn't supply the efficient power required.

That's easy....



OK, I see what you mean, I am using the mail.app to send my emails, most of the time I do not type email in using the gmail web mail form itself.

I also know that Gmail's POP download can be very tempermental, ex. if you are using two different computers, and both are being POP Fowarded, the first one that downloads will get the e-mail, the second usually will not.

Kind of hard to explain, but you willl see what I mean when you start using Gmail POP Forwarding more.

Yeah, I have heard success stories with the y-cable. I haven't/don't know where to get them. If you find one let me know where you got it because I could really use the extra hdd space on my notebook.

So I am able to use it because my Hotmail is msn.com?

On another note, has anyone had success updating FreeType?

I have no idea where to buy them separatly from the harddrive. All the ones i know came with the harddrive. My problem is i have a couple 5gig seagates with only one usb thingy. Bummer if these dont work. If not than im going to buy another big usb drive like the seagate 100gig that comes with the Y cable and is powered by two usbs alone (not needing an ac adaptor).

I will try to find the link on amazon for you.
