Should i trade my laptop for an ipad?
There's this guy that says he will give his 1st gen 16gb ipad for a older laptop running xp and guess what i have a older laptop running xp its a gateway (dont know which model), anyways I was hoping to get an ipad 2 in the future, but maybe this will do, should i take this offer...
admin answers:
Depends what you like and use in a device.
IPad:
Nothing can be upgraded (at all)
You have what you have
No disc drive
No flash support (this one upsets me)
No USB ports
App Store
Laptop:
Upgradeable (almost everything)
Has disc drive
Has flash support
Has USB ports
A newer laptop would be a better choice and you could get them for around the same price of an iPad 2. Don't get me wrong tablets are fun. You should also look into Android tablets :)

I cannot access any non-google site. What should I do?
I recently reset my wireless router. My ipad, Xbox, and XP pc can access the wireless perfectly. My 2 windows 7 pcs cannot. if my windows 7 pcs are connected directly to the router they work fine. I am completely baffeled.
the router is compatible, and has been working perfectly for months. this problem surfaced with the reset.
admin answers:
Check whether the wireless router is compatible with windows 7

Redsn0w 0.9.6b5 crashes when fetching iPad baseband files?
Hi I recently bought an iPhone 3g. It arrived at my house on firmware 4.2.1 and with the baseband 05.15.04. I have tried installing the 6.15.00 iPad baseband from redsn0w, but whenever it says "fetching iPad baseband files" Redsn0w crashes. I am running Windows XP on my computer so I can't do the compatibility mode or run as administrator fix. I also made sure that I didn't try to install cydia and the iPad baseband at the same time and it still didn't work. Any help?
Details:
iPhone 3g
4.2.1 firmware
05.15.04 baseband
using redsn0w 0.9.6b5
computer runs windows XP
already tried compatibility mode, run as administrator, and installing cydia and baseband seperately.
admin answers:
Don't check cydia and iPad baseband at the same time.
If ur going to jailbreak just click cydia. Once jailbreak, redo the process, but this time do not check Cydia but check iPad baseband

I get down and worried about not having many material things, anyone in the same position?
im 33 and live in the uk...i have an obsessional disorder where i compulsively think i need to have a lot of material things in order to feel happy, stable and secure......but i live alone in a flat on sick benefits so i cant afford of most of what i want......im in no position to be employed either as im a danger to others because of violent rage problems.
i dont have an ipad, or ipad 2 , dont have an iphone or ipod , dont have a wii or playstation 3, dont have a digital camera or even a wrist watch....dont have a hd or widescreen television....i dont have sky tv.....dont have any other hand held gadget.
and dont own many other material things either.
my main possession is my custom built desktop computer that still runs xp pro.....im getting a blackberry phone for xmas from one of my family.
i have an old playstation 2 with a few games...an old gamecube with a few games...an old 2nd hand tv
and the other things ive told you i dont have...i will have to save up for for a long time..
i just wanted to know is anyone else in the similar position as me and how do you handle it?
admin answers:
To be honest, I wouldnt say this was an obsessional disorder at all I would say it is perfectly normal to feel this way. As we are growing up we are conditioned to want these things, and learn at a young age that material possessions equals security as well as respect. It is why we are encouraged to go to school, get a good job, buy a car, buy a house filled with lots of wonderful things. These possessions are what people use to define how successful they are in life, and because of this it is no wonder you feel down.
I know exactly how you feel too. When I left my abusive partner and moved into my new place, I had two black bags of possessions to my name most of them being scruffy clothes and makeup that needed replacing. I didnt have sofas, a washing machine or anything for ages just a bed and a portable tv. I graduated university last year and have been unable to find a job since, and have been living on £95 a fortnight dole money. So trust me when I say I know how you feel, wanting to build up your stuff with hardly any money is really hard. Take it from me though, it can be done.
I made it my lifes mission to own nice things and have the same as everyone else, and for the last year I have budgeted and penny pinched beyond belief in order to get myself the things I needed. I was lucky with some things, I had leather sofas given to me for nothing, and bought a very decent cooker off someone for just £20. I had to get a loan off the social for my carpets, but it is interest free- google budgeting loan to see if you are entitled to one too. Every spare penny I had I saved, and over the year have been able to get myself pretty much everything I need to live comfortably in my home as well as a new phone and laptop.
If you have good credit, catalogues can be massively helpful- I have a Very account and being able to get what you need and pay it back bit by bit has been a lifesaver. Also shops like Brighthouse are good for people in our situation- you do pay more back but it means you can have your item straight away and pay back a weekly affordable amount, you dont need good credit for Brighthouse either.
My best advice to you is to write a list of the things you want. Then SAVE every spare penny you can. Look on ebay for good deals, or places like CEX for second hand elecricals. You honestly can do it, speaking from experience just put your mind to it, know what it is you want to achieve and dont stop until you have
GOOD LUCK
