I know it Lew! Ain't it great :popcorn:

I wish they would stick to their deadlines as well Gifted. That MJ is the only reason I have Windows at all on my boxes, but I can't pass up the savings, especially for a phone I don't use that...

Hey Thanks for posting this! I'd heard the third quarter of 2009 and figured they had given up. This gives hope!

I wasn't crazy about his comments either :(

When I first started working on computers I got cussed by irate males thinking a woman couldn't know squat about computers. You deal with it.

I've...

I wouldn't turn down a free version either - it would make a fun addition to the collection till it ticked me off lol! If you ever get an extra copy.. (hint! Hint!) j/k!

If I get a killer deal on a pre-installed computer I will, but the chances of it being hosed after I play a bit is high :P

Personally, this desktop (formerly known as Vista) is in good enough...

My favourite router is Netgear. It is easy to set up and not too expensive. If you have a Mac or Windows box around, you can go with an Apple router. Those are actually my personal favorite as far...

I'm not sure if this will help, but I had the same thing happen on my Toshiba satellite after update. It would see the network but not connect.

I turned off the computer waited a minute (actually...

That's what I've been doing, actually. Trying to save electricity and space however.

I've got it working a lot better by increasing the RAM to the virtual machine and increasing priority on the...

Point taken Lew.

Information is free, and that is what makes this forum, and this operating system so wonderful.

It may be buyer-beware, but myself and everyone I know who has used MJ has had no issues and find it well worth the twenty dollars a year spent on it.

As with all things, they must be taken with...

For those concerned the MJ may be spyware, check this out. Haven't read it yet myself but it's supposed to be a reply..

You're probably right.

Thanks for the link. As always when using an inexpensive service there are caveats. by dedicating a virtual computer to magicjack there is only so much information they can get however...

Peace,...

I have magicjack up and running on virtualbox with windows xp but the sound is choppy. Didn't do anything special to it just installed it.

talked to my sister on it to test she says I sound like...

This is what I did, but it isn't a perfect solution:

<alt><f2> then gksu gedit

put in your pw

then open file etc --> init.d --> mountdevsusbfs.sh

go to the lines "# magic to make the usb...

I have Magic Jack working in virtualbox under WinXP, but the sound is choppy. I visited the MJ forums, installed the upgrade, gave the background processes priority, and the sound is still choppy,...

I started fooling with Linux about 10 years or so ago... As I jumped in head-first, it was a rocky ride... Took several months, some new hardware, and a couple reinstalls before I realised that I was...

If you have the 64-bit version of ubuntu you may have to go with the 32-bit to get the programs.... 64-bit while great doesn't seem to have as many programs available...

Disable wireless networking when you start this.. for some reason there's a conflict... It will register on your system as an old-fashioned modem, not a wireless connection so it will not show up on...

Here's another tutorial:

Which I found in this tutorial:

Found in another forum that the same tutorial will work with your card... You can go here to read it: ...

hokay.... first off, have the sprint modem plugged in when you start... I don't believe the usbserial modprobe will work otherwise.... While setting it up can you go anywhere where you can connect...

You will have to go somewhere you can connect to the internet via another method, like ethernet (dsl) or dial-up or wifi. I have tried to get the card to work without kppp without success....

Yes, I am. You have to install the repos for the regular VirtualBox in Synaptic to get usb. Everything else applies, because the VirtualBox repos also have the linux headers needed. You just have...
