Thanks for the answers. I was thinking about the Dummies book, but was unsure how good it was. I will look for the Head First and Hacks & Pranks books. Unfortunately we have a limited range of titles available here in my area of Australia. I end up getting most of my books from Amazon, but I can't flip through the books there, so I'll if these are available locally first. Thanks again. Hopefully we'll have a new VB programmer in our midst soon :laugh:

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone out there knew of good VB.NET beginner tutorials suitable for my 10yo nephew. He is a bit of a geek, but being only 10 I think a lot of the books and tutorials aimed at adults could be beyond his grasp. If you have any experience with tutorials or books for the younger people out there, please let me know. Thanks.

That was supposedly fixed in one of the updates I got last night: When you copy or move a large file, the "estimated time remaining" takes a long time to be calculated and displayed. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938979 I haven't tried it yet, but it didn't ever seem to big a big problem for me.

I have a similar problem with a D-Link DI624+ Wireless Router but managed to find a PSU from an old Palm Tungsten C which is almost ok (lower Amps but it works)

Be very careful when doing this. The Amps a power supply lists is not what it does provide, but the maximum it will safely provide. The device will pull in whatever current it requires. If you have a 12V 300mA supply, and plug in a 12V 2A device, the device will try its best to drag 2A through the smaller supply. The smaller supply will provide this for a very short period of time, then overheat and start melting. Literally melting. :wtf: Great fire hazard. So in short... if you have a choice between a supply with a current rating too low, or too high, get the one that is too high.
