Re: VO and languages other than English

2011-07-05 Thread Bryan Jones
Hello Adrienne,

I'll add one note to what others have already said. If you desire to have a non 
- English VO voice prior to the release of OSX 10.7 Lion, you can download and 
install a fully functional 30 day trial of any of the voices from 
Assistiveware, the vendor mentioned by Anne. I've just begun using a trial 
version of the Spanish voice named "Rosa" and am very pleased with the quality 
and performance of the voice as well as the simplicity with which I can switch 
between the English and Spanish voices on the fly using the VO keystrokes Anne 
outlined. Here is a direct link to Assistiveware's voice download page where 
you can listen to samples of each voice and download the fully functional 
versions.
http://www.assistiveware.com/voicedownload.php

HTH,
Bryan

Dropbox preferences

2011-07-05 Thread Geoff Shang

Hi,

Is it possible to access Dropbox preferences with Dropbox 1.1.35?

My wife has a Dropbox account that's working fine, but we now want to set 
up my Dropbox account under my own login on the mac.  The Dropbox window 
comes up and there's a dropbox configuration folder in my home folder, but 
I can't see how to tell Dropbox my username and password.


Is this possible to do?

Geoff.

NAS or USB?

2011-07-05 Thread David Hole
Hi folks.
I'm on my way to buy storage for all my stuff (especially my music library).
What's the best way to go? I have lots of computers (4, 3 in use - 1
Windows and 2 Macs).
So far, I'll go for using iTunes as the primary music application -
wich also have its issues, but if needed, I'll change to something
else if there are.
I'll choose between a NAS wich I'll connect to my network, or a
USB-disc that I can connect to only one of my computers.
Anyone who have been out for this case and have good solutions?
I'm open for almost everything, as long as it's as compatible to
everything as possible.

Kind regards David.

Re: Is it possible to connect HDMI or Mini DisplayPort output to RCA inputs? [Was, Re: Adapter Question Again For Mac Mini.]

2011-07-05 Thread Chris Blouch
Sounds like your portable tv has two stereo audio inputs and one 
composite video input. You probably won't find a single box that will do 
it all but instead will need to go in stages. First you'll need an HDMI 
to VGA adapter and from there you can find VGA to NTSC composite 
adapters. I found one which is powered via a USB connection so it's all 
self contained. Write back if you have trouble locating one. The audio 
should be easy since your mini already has stereo audio out in the 
headphone jack so a mini to mini or mini to RCA pair cable should be all 
you need, possibly with some gender changers. Hope this helps.

Hello Georges -- I've modified the subject line in hopes that it will grab some attention from 
folks who have done this with something other than a Mac Mini, perhaps with an Apple TV which I

this list attempting to attach a display using the old RCA connections, so Google is probably your 
best friend for advice on this one. Searching for the terms "HDMI to RCA" or "Mini 
DisplayPort to RCA" returns many discussions about this topic. As far as I can tell, it is 
indeed possible to convert both of your Mini's display output types to RCA but only by using a 
converter box in conjunction with the proper adapters.

Re: NAS or USB?

2011-07-05 Thread Chris Blouch
I just have an external Firewire drive hooked to my Mac Mini. The Mac 
can share out the drive as an SMB volumen (Windows file share) so you 
should be able to get to everything on it from the PC just as easily. 
Another thing to consider is how reliable the storage has to be. If the 
drive fails, what is the impact. Will you have to re-rip all your CDs 
and such? For me right now it's not that critical but I've been thinking 
about going to a Drobo down the road if the 500GB drive I have now fills 
up. The Drobo has slots for multiple hard drives and it mirrors the data 
across them. If one of the drives fails it transparently continues on 
with the remaining drives. When the failed drive is replaced the 
mirroring is reconstructed. I think the smallest 4-slot version is about 
$300 empty. That also means I can add capacity over time and eventually 
retire older smaller drives, if they don't fail first. Of course this 
doesn't help if the Drobo is knocked off the table or whatever. So it 
might still make sense to have backups. My drive is mostly rips of media 
so while I'd hate to waste the time doing all that again, it's not 
irreplaceable. For that I use time machine to backup to a hard drive on 
another mac on my home network.

Re: NAS or USB?

2011-07-05 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
Get a nas. Chris is correct in saying that you can just share a usb
drive, but most nas units come with other desirable features like an
http downloader, bit torrent support, ftp server, dlan server and
iTunes support.
You're basicly getting a very small (But probably not as small as the
mini to be fair) low power (but still capable) computer. I have a
buffalo Linkstation which I grabbed on eBay without any drives for
just over £20 but you can still by them new. If you buy one and are
feeling adventurus you can install debian on it and then, you can do
pretty much anything you could ever want on it - mines even acted as a
mail server for a couple of days.

One other thing to remember is that if you use a USB drive shared
using the mini on a gigabit lan, you could start to notice the usb
bottlenec but essentially, if you don't mind leaving a computer on all
of the time, get a usb drive, but once you buy a nas, you'll never
want to have it any other way.

Mac Mini, Monitor and Bluetooth Headset

2011-07-05 Thread blindmacman
Hello List! I am considering buying a new Mac Mini, but I have some  
questions that I hope you can answer.


I have read here on the list that it is best to connect a monitor to  
the Mini, even though I do not need one. How about connecting the MINI  
to the HDMI2 on our TV? Would this work even if the TV is set to  
HDMI1? In other words, if someone was watching TV (on HDMI1) would I  
still be able to be computing (without turning the TV to HDMI2)?


With the Mini next to the TV, I could easily use my wireless keyboard  
anywhere in the house... The only problem would be VoiceOver jabbering  
away... I certainly do not mind it, but I must be considerate of  
others. How about a bluetooth headset? All my previous attempts to  
find a bluetooth headset that works with VoiceOver have failed. Do any  
of you have a recommendation for a bluetooth headset that would work  
with the Mac Mini and VoiceOver?


Your feedback and suggestions would be appreciated... Thank you!

Lou.

Re: NAS or USB?

2011-07-05 Thread Chris Blouch
Agreed, and most NAS also let you set them up/config from a web browser 
so it could sit in a corner of the basement with no screen or keyboard 
and just do its thing. That said, OSX does have a built in FTP, SSH and 
web server so you should be able to reach a shared drive via sftp, scp, 
http etc. I'm not familiar with dlan and don't use torrent so those 
capabilities could be better served by the NAT. I'm also cheap so I got 
more storage for the dollar/pound/euro with just an external drive. The 
NAS will cost a bit more, but not a lot more. With a Firewire drive I 
also had a bit more performance than going USB, but usually that's not 
an issue. Since I just have the mini on my regular 802.11G wireless, the 
network hits bandwidth limitations before the drive or drive interface.

You're basicly getting a very small (But probably not as small as the
mini to be fair) low power (but still capable) computer. I have a
buffalo Linkstation which I grabbed on eBay without any drives for
just over £20 but you can still by them new. If you buy one and are
feeling adventurus you can install debian on it and then, you can do
pretty much anything you could ever want on it - mines even acted as a
mail server for a couple of days.

One other thing to remember is that if you use a USB drive shared
using the mini on a gigabit lan, you could start to notice the usb
bottlenec but essentially, if you don't mind leaving a computer on all
of the time, get a usb drive, but once you buy a nas, you'll never
want to have it any other way.

Another thing to consider is how reliable the storage has to be. If the
drive fails, what is the impact. Will you have to re-rip all your CDs
and such? For me right now it's not that critical but I've been thinking
about going to a Drobo down the road if the 500GB drive I have now fills
up. The Drobo has slots for multiple hard drives and it mirrors the data
across them. If one of the drives fails it transparently continues on
with the remaining drives. When the failed drive is replaced the
mirroring is reconstructed. I think the smallest 4-slot version is about
$300 empty. That also means I can add capacity over time and eventually
retire older smaller drives, if they don't fail first. Of course this
doesn't help if the Drobo is knocked off the table or whatever. So it
might still make sense to have backups. My drive is mostly rips of media
so while I'd hate to waste the time doing all that again, it's not
irreplaceable. For that I use time machine to backup to a hard drive on
another mac on my home network.

Hi folks.

What's the best way to go? I have lots of computers (4, 3 in use - 1

So far, I'll go for using iTunes as the primary music application -
wich also have its issues, but if needed, I'll change to something
else if there are.
I'll choose between a NAS wich I'll connect to my network, or a
USB-disc that I can connect to only one of my computers.
Anyone who have been out for this case and have good solutions?
I'm open for almost everything, as long as it's as compatible to
everything as possible.

Kind regards David.

Re: Mac Mini, Monitor and Bluetooth Headset

2011-07-05 Thread Chris Blouch
If I recall correctly the main issue was the Mac scans for what kind of 
monitor is hooked up and will continue to try until it finds something. 
That perpetual scan will turn the machine to sludge. So if your HDMI 
screen answers back to the mac, even if that input is not selected on 
the TV, then the Mac should be happy. In my own case I use a displayport 
to VGA and then a VGA to NTSC converter which makes the mac happy even 
if the old tv is not turned on. There are also wiring diagrams around to 
make a VGA terminator where you connect certain pins with resistors 
which signal what kind of display is hooked up without a real display 
connected. Nobody seems to sell the pre-made ones anymore (VGA 
Terminators) but somebody good with electronics could roll their own.

Hello List! I am considering buying a new Mac Mini, but I have some 
questions that I hope you can answer.


I have read here on the list that it is best to connect a monitor to 
the Mini, even though I do not need one. How about connecting the MINI 
to the HDMI2 on our TV? Would this work even if the TV is set to 
HDMI1? In other words, if someone was watching TV (on HDMI1) would I 
still be able to be computing (without turning the TV to HDMI2)?


With the Mini next to the TV, I could easily use my wireless keyboard 
anywhere in the house... The only problem would be VoiceOver jabbering 
away... I certainly do not mind it, but I must be considerate of 
others. How about a bluetooth headset? All my previous attempts to 
find a bluetooth headset that works with VoiceOver have failed. Do any 
of you have a recommendation for a bluetooth headset that would work 
with the Mac Mini and VoiceOver?


Your feedback and suggestions would be appreciated... Thank you!

XCode/C++ integer assignment from console.

2011-07-05 Thread Geoff Waaler
Greetings all,

I am getting started with C++ using XCode 4.0.2.

The following was created as a C++ command line tool.  The objective of this 
"main.cpp" code was to accept a n integer from the console and display it:

#include 
using namespace std;

int main() {
int  num;
cout << "Please enter an integer: ";
cin >> num;
cout << "Thanks for typing.  You entered: " << num << endl;
}

Upon running this code via command-r I receive the message that output was 
generated.  The log window appears to stop and prompt me as expected -- I see 
the following:

GNU gdb 6.3.50-20050815 (Apple version gdb-1518) (Sat Feb 12 02:52:12 UTC 2011)

This GDB was configured as "x86_64-apple-darwin".tty /dev/ttys000
[Switching to process 10756 thread 0x0]
Please enter an integer: 

When I enter an integer (e.g. 9) the following text appears:

Please enter an integer: 9
Thanks for typing.  You entered: 60106
Program ended with exit code: 0

Initializing num (ie int num = 0;) causes the garbage to disappear , except 
that the initialized value is always displayed regardless what I enter in 
response to the prompt.

I tried building a unix executable and running it from terminal, but the 
results did not vary.  An item in Google suggested running debug in "standard 
debug" mode, but from what I can find this may no longer be applicable in xCode 
4?

If anyone can offer a suggestion I would be most appreciative.  Perhaps there 
is another list that is mor appropriate for this type of query?

Best regards.

Importing burned audio cds into iTunes? Where do they go?

2011-07-05 Thread Doug Lawlor
Hello list:
Last evening a friend gave me a cd that was burned on another computer. I took 
this and imported it into iTunes. Naturally iTunes could not find the names of 
the tracks. I did not see this as a problem so I went ahead and imported it. 
The problem is it is not showing up in my iTunes library. Can anyone help here? 
 

Thanks, 

Doug

Re: XCode/C++ integer assignment from console.

2011-07-05 Thread Zachary Kline
Hi Jeff,
Interesting.  I copied and pasted your program, exactly as given, from the 
email to a vi editing session and compiled it from the terminal.  The output 
was what you would expect, i.e. it worked correctly.
I'm not sure why Xcode would give you a different result with such a simple 
program, and am afraid I'm just learning to use it myself, so know very little 
about it.
Very confused,
Zack.

Re: Importing burned audio cds into iTunes? Where do they go?

2011-07-05 Thread Red.Falcon
Hi Doug!
They might be in your library!
If you have not seen these already there might be a lot of items listed as 
track 01, 02, 03 and so on!
So if you have these each one is one of the tracks and you'll have to open info 
and name everyone!
If those tracks are not in the library!
See if they are in your main Itunes library in your home directory!
Oh yes one more option there might be a unknown  album!

Re: XCode/C++ integer assignment from console.

2011-07-05 Thread Geoff Waaler
Hello Zack,

Thanks so much for looking into this.  You indirectly answered one of my 
questions -- it's unnecessary to create an xCode project just to build and run 
a simple .cpp file  (yay!!!).

Having not used Unix except for a very brief period in the early 80s when VI 
was a line editor, perhaps you or someone else following this thread can 
indulge a few novice questions.  I gather VI is better for creating a .cpp file 
than the textEdit app?  If so, why?  What is the process for building and 
running from the command line?

Thanks again and best regards.
Geoff

Re: Importing burned audio cds into iTunes? Where do they go?

2011-07-05 Thread Bryan Jones
Hi Doug,

To add to what Colin said, sorting your music table by Date Added might let you 
easily find those recently imported no-name tracks. Here's one way of 
performing this sort"
1. Interact with the Sources table and select Music.
2. Stop interacting with the Sources table.
3. Press Command+J to open the View Options dialog box.
4. VO through this dialog box and make sure the "Date Added" checkbox is 
checked. Press OK to close the View Options Window.
5. Make sure your library is showing in "List" mode. This can be check in a 
number of ways, but pressing Command+Option+3 will set it for you.
6. Interact with the Music table, Navigate to a field in the "Date Added" 
column, and press VO+Shit+\ and you should hear VO announce something like, 
"sort column up" or "sort column down."
7. If you've sorted the column down you should find your most recently imported 
tracks at the top of the list. These will hopefully be the unnamed tracks you 
are looking for.

HTH,
Bryan

Hello,

You can also access any FTP server directly from Finder.
Just press Command-k and in the server address enter something like:
ftp://username:password@ftp.server.address

It's a very basic FTP client and it does tend to hang if you access 
directories with a lot of files, but for a quick copy of files it's ok.

Hello Johnny:

Congratulations on the new purchase. You will love it and this list will 
provide you with the best support if and when you need it.

The most predictable way to shut it down at first is:

1. Hold down the VO keys plus the letter M. The VO keys are the control and 
option keys. 

2. You should hear the machine say apple. If that happens use the down arrow 
key until you hear shut down. 

3. Press enter.

4. You may hear your machine mention authentication. Press the tab key and then 
you should hear the machine say shut down button. Press enter again and that 
should do it.

Please let us know if that helps.

Take good care and I wish you enough.On Jul 5, 2011, at 9:31 PM, Cakes wrote:

Re: a macbook pro question?

2011-07-05 Thread Mary Otten
Karen,
The vo keys are on both sides of the keyboard if you have a full keyboard. 
Unfortunately, the geniuses at Apple do not include a control key on the right 
hand side of their keyboards these days. So you don't get vo keys on both sides 
unless you have an older keyboard or buy one like the one from Mac Ally. Apple 
managed to do what so many makers of laptop keyboards do, i.e. leave out the 
full compliment of keys we've grown use to on standard keyboards.

2011-07-05 Thread Christine Grassman
If you go into the Apple menu "VO keys plus space should bring you to it) (VO 
equals command and option keys together with the spacebar,)  you can arrow down 
until you hear choices: shut down, sleep, standby, etc.
If/when you are at a complete loss, you can hold down the Power button for 
about two seconds, and you will be asked for confirmation. If you merely want 
the MacBook on standby, simply close it.

Colloquy: Not liking what I'm seeing at all!

2011-07-05 Thread Christopher-Mark Gilland
When I first opened Colloquy, I'm presented a dialog to put in my nick name. 
I did this, and hit vo+right arrow.  Eventually, I got a... what appears! to 
be combo box, of a list of i r c servers.  I hit vo+space to drop the list 
down, at which point I was presented a list of preconfigured servers.  I 
couldn't find any way to type in a server manually.  It finally dawned on 
me, that maybe this is an edit! combo, not a combo box as Voiceover's 
reporting.  So, I tried instead of hitting vo+down arrow to open the box, 
just typing in a server address manually.  So I typed


gamebird.ehhh.us

I left everything else completely alone, and hit connect.  It let me in, but 
then, in the file menu of the menu bar, If I went to join channel, I again 
get a combo box or so it looks for the channels.  When I vo+space on it to 
open it, then vo+down arrow, I get nothing, and if I just simply down arrow 
without the vo keys, it bwonks at me.  I tried typing in manually a channel 
name that I darnwell know! is on this server, as I go up there on my windows 
machine with Mirc with Tirc Ralph very regularly and it works flawlessly.


I also tried just in case maybe the protocol wasn't set correctly and this 
server doesn't use i r c, I tried all the other ones in that combo box 
before connecting, but when I do, it won't let me connect, so it's obvious, 
I was correct in the first place.  If I put irc dot before the address, IE: 
irc.gamebird.ehhh.us, it won't connect at all.  I'm using the standard port 
6667, which is exactly what I'm using on the Windows side of things that 
works fine.  So, yeah, either something's broken accessibility wize with 
Colloquy, or I just don't have a clue what I'm doing.  Probably the ladder.


I know there was another i r c client suggested, but I can't for the life a 
me remember it, it was like X... sopmething X, or what not.  I don't 
remember... sorry...


Anyway, any help would be appreciated.  I really wanna get i r c working on 
the Mac, but if I can't, well, I guess I just can't.  Sighs.


Chris.

Try command F5 ... that should bring it back. If not, try command F5 plus the

Well I'm enjoying the learning curve.  Kind of strange though, the guy

speaking.  So I think that I did something to mess things up for now 
making that learning curve just a little steaper.  I'll let you know how

Try the alt key and f5. that toggles it on and off. Apple calls the alt key 
the command key.

If you push the power button it shoud give you a dialog box to shut down. If 
not go to the Apple menu and choose shut down from there.

Giving up on I R C

2011-07-05 Thread Christopher-Mark Gilland
Hello again guys.

I'm sorry, but I just tried xchat, and honestly am finding this client even 
more confusing than Colloquy.  Unless someone can give me more specific help 
how to get the notifications set and working, I'm pretty much giving up.  I 
don't have time right now to get frustrated over this, which I am.  So, I'm 
taking a break with this.  It's not worth me getting ticked over it.  I got 
more important things to do frankly.  Having said that, thanks for everyone's 
help.

Hello Johnny:

No worries. If you can bring the speech back with the command F5 keystroke then 
voiceover can be set to come on automatically later on. You probably did not do 
anything. You cannot truly hurt the machine unless of course you set fire to it 
:) ... which no one recommends.

Enjoy the learning and let us know how it goes.

Take good care and I wish you enough.

Re: a macbook pro question?

Mary -- I really agree with you regarding the disappearing keys. Every time I 
read or hear Apple touting their laptops having "Full-sized keyboards" I roll 
my eyes. While their keyboards might contain some full-sized keys, they are 
most certainly NOT full-sized keyboards. And before the zealots start flaming, 
I should mention that I love my Apple Bluetooth keyboard, full-sized or not.

Re: a macbook pro question?

2011-07-05 Thread Mary Otten
I too like the Apple BT keyboard compared with other possibilities. But I don't 
think they should tout it as full sized when it is not. I wish Apple had bucked 
the unhappy trend of cutting out certain keys on these keyboards. They get a 
lot of things right, but not this time, IMHO. It reminds me of what happened 
with num pad commander, which was introduced, and then shortly there after, 
Apple decided to quit making keyboard with numpads on them, even for the 
desktop line. What possible sense is it to make a dinky keyboard for an IMac? 
Surely desktop real estate is not in such short supply in that instance?

Compiling C++ in terminal -> wasXCode/C++ integer assignment from console.

2011-07-05 Thread Geoff Waaler
Making a little progress.  I since learned that I should be able to build my 
foo executable in terminal by going to the directory and entering:
"g++ foo.cpp -o foo".

If I understand correctly assuming a clean compile, I should be able to run the 
executable by entering "/foo"?

If I enter just the command without a slash, I receive the "command not found" 
message, where as when I proceed the command with a slash, it indicates that 
the file or directory does not exist.

When I enter "vi filename" I can see my file, but have not yet ascertained how 
to exit the editor and get back to a command prompt?

Again, TIA for any info or documentation you can point me to describing how to 
get going with terminal.

Best regards.
Geoff

Has anyone developed a solution of determining which apps are checked or

No verbal feedback is spoken on the checked state. Maybe a Apple Scripted

Re: Compiling C++ in terminal -> wasXCode/C++ integer assignment from console.

2011-07-05 Thread Zachary Kline
Hi Jeff,
Unix is one of those things which takes a long time and a lot of practice to 
use properly.  Whole books have been written about the subject, and any general 
Unix or Linux book should mostly be applicable to OS X.  Do you have a 
Bookshare account?  O'Riley media publishes many texts ou might be interested 
in, such as Learning Unix for Mac OS X.  Beyond this, search the Internet for 
Unix tutorials, they should apply quite well overall.
As for the specific case you're wondering about here, the reason your program 
isn't running is that you're not quite using the correct command.  YOu want a 
period followed by a slash, not just a slash.  ./foo
vi is a whole different kettle of fish, and again the Internet and literature 
is your best friend.  I will tell you that to quit, you want to first hit 
escape, and then type ":wq", without the quotes, to save your work.  ":q" on 
its own will quit unless you have unsaved changes, in which case you type ":q!" 
to abandon them.
Hope this helps,
Zack.

 Greetings all,
 
 I am getting started with C++ using XCode 4.0.2.
 
 The following was created as a C++ command line tool.  The objective of 
 this "main.cpp" code was to accept a n integer from the console and 
 display it:
 
 #include 
 using namespace std;
 
 int main() {
  int  num;
  cout << "Please enter an integer: ";
  cin >> num;
  cout << "Thanks for typing.  You entered: " << num << endl;
 }
 
 Upon running this code via command-r I receive the message that output was 
 generated.  The log window appears to stop and prompt me as expected -- I 
 see the following:

 Please enter an integer: 
 
 When I enter an integer (e.g. 9) the following text appears:
 
 Please enter an integer: 9
 Thanks for typing.  You entered: 60106
 Program ended with exit code: 0
 
 Initializing num (ie int num = 0;) causes the garbage to disappear , 
 except that the initialized value is always displayed regardless what I 
 enter in response to the prompt.
 
 I tried building a unix executable and running it from terminal, but the 
 results did not vary.  An item in Google suggested running debug in 
 "standard debug" mode, but from what I can find this may no longer be 
 applicable in xCode 4?

BootCamp Results.

2011-07-05 Thread Georges Zaynoun

Hello!

Yesterday I took the plunge with my MacBook white 13inch that I bought 
in 2009.  I made the partition and inserted the windows7 home premium 
and booted into it, with sighted help of course, pressed enter twice, 
accepted the license then enter, c for custom or advanced, chose the 
bootcamp partition but windows oem cd could not install to a 
unformatted ntfs drive and this old woman who tried to help me couldn't 
figure out how shall I do to format it.  Then I decided go the very 
long way of xp, we booted into xp from bootcamp, did the required and 
formatted the drive, installed xp but the machine booted always into 
mac, I forced it to boot into xp, it kept complaining about some 
missing files from oem xp cd, but pressing ok a couple of times solved 
the problem.


Having done xp setup with her I decided put windows7 over it, this of 
course after putting bootcamp drivers sure.  With clean install of xp I 
installed 7 over it completely.  Now came the critical moment, I wanted 
my drivers back into 7.  Windows7 refused to install them from the dvd 
that came with my mac in 2009 and spoke about compatibility issues and 
couldn't run the setup, of course I had speech at this point throough 
usb both with xp and 7 with the only difference that the drivers worked 
with xp but not with 7.  I thought I could go around this problem with 
7 by way of downloading the necessary drivers from Apple via bootcamp 
setup having now installed 7 and got it working properly.  Bootcamp 
refused to download the drivers completely.  I have tried this thing 
with bootcamp on at least two machines both before installing windows7 
and after installation with no luck.


Now back to my 2009 machine, I tried to install each driver manually 
from the drivers subdirectory of bootcamp, I got audio working, I 
installed something for the apple keyboard that forced me to press fn 
to get the function keys work as normal, and was on my way to install 
each and every driver manually but to my VERY bad luck something 
happened to windows and I could never start this thing and didn't know 
what was on the screen of course since I was alone by this late hour of 
the night.


What do you say about this thing folks, the bootcamp drivers are for xp 
when the machine was purchased and bootcamp cannot download any drivers 
whatsoever, I was on my way to put a dvd that came with a newer imac 
with snow leopard and even another standalone snow leopard dvd I bought 
when it came.  Any thoughts?  Thanks.
