and have come across an odd problem.  They reccomend using their java applet
for uploading files but I find that when I've uploaded some pictures the
applet refuses to quit so I have to force quit Safari and ...

I like the look of the new Time Capsule that has been announced.
I currently use the BT Homehub so that is my broadband link.
So was wondering if they could co-exist.
I was thinking about getting the Apple box - connecting it to the BT

I suggested to a friend that he upgrade to iTunes 7.6 and get the new
iPod Touch apps. When he downloaded 7.6 he's now getting the message,
"iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. you must restore this
