<title>ASUS EEE 900 or HP 2133 Mini-Note or ???</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20699171</link>
<description><![CDATA[I'm just looking for something small and cheap. Just check e-mails, the 'net, and some instant messaging.

I've even looked at some of the upper end PDAs with a bluetooth keyboard. 

I'm not too worried about hard drive space. Well, how well would the eee 900 (linux OS) work with my creative vision m? I just need a powered USB port to charge my mp3 player.

I'm not scared of linux.

I'm new to lookin at all this and been doing a lot of reading. Just wondering if any of y'all have any thoughts to add to this. 

Thanks you.

<title>[Mp3] Sansa charging question</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20838472</link>
<description><![CDATA[I just got a Sansa e280 and I am wondering if it is better to run the battery down before recharging or if it is OK to charge it nightly. Does it make a difference to the life of the battery?]]></description>

<title>Cleaning Up/Out iTunes Library but Keeping Playlists Intact</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20786132</link>
<description><![CDATA[Okay, I've got a bit of a unique situation here and I don't know if this is the best forum to be posting this or not, but I figured hopefully you guys would know. 

Recently I switched over from a Windows PC to a Mac and was able to somehow (can't even remember how I did it to tell you the truth) able to move my iTunes library over and keep my playlists intact. The problem is a lot of the songs were no longer working properly because iTunes was searching for the pathway to the folder where my mp3's were located on my Windows machine (ex. D:\Music). Not sure how I got around this, but basically my playlists were still able to play my songs. So when I moved my music folder over to my Mac, I added it to my iTunes library and I got a TON of duplicates, and also a lot of songs with an exclamation mark in front of then. I set my iTunes to display all duplicates, selected all and hit play in order to get the ones that weren't valid to display the exclamation mark in front of them, and set about the arduous task of deleting all of those songs. The problem is now that I've also got a ton of songs from a folder I added that is just WAAAAY to much as far as space, and I can't sync my iPod. Basically I just want to delete that 1 folder from my iTunes library, or ideally, be able to clear out the library and re-add the music folders I want. Here's where it gets tricky. I have close to 20 different playlists, and some of them have close to 80 songs on the all in a particular order that I want to keep intact. Is there a way to do any of this w/o FUBAR'ing my playlists and keep them intact? :huh: Not looking to spend money on extra software so if there is something out there that can do this that someone might suggest, I would appreciate a free solution. Thank you.

<title>Cordless phone with base station battery backup?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20787490</link>
<description><![CDATA[I really haven't seen many of these around anymore. I remember about 10+ years ago Sprint (now Embarq) had a 900mhz cordless phone system that you could 'rent' from them which had this feature where it had a spare battery for the single handset you could leave in the base station to charge and when the power went out, it ran off the spare till it died to allow phone calls in/out.

I'm just curious if anyone knows of any cordless phone systems currently that work in that fashion or has it merely become one of those 'superfluous features'?

I know some that have built-in answering machines will sometimes have the usual 9V battery slot for keeping the flash chip powered and retain messages, but it rarely ever allows the core functionality (calls and actual call answering) to work when the main power is out.
