iPod

OK, I have a Dell. I only have USB 1.0 and iPod uses firewire and USB 2.0

Is there anything I can do?

Yes, just be patient a USB 2.0 device will work with a USB 1.0 (1.1) interface, only it will take more time...

I think it goes somthing like this. Ive seen the speeds of some FireWire external hd's and they seem pretty fast.

IEEE 1394 #2 - (800mbit)
USB #2 (480mbit)
IEEE 1394 (400mbit)
USB 1.1 (12mbit)
USB 1 (12mbit).

:-\ Im not a genius when it comes to file sizes but isnt a song about 3mb's? and lets see here.

10gb = 2500 songs = 7500mb

1mb/sec and 7500 = 7500 seconds

7500 seconds = 125 minutes

125 minutes = ......2 hours? that sux. But It'll be worth the wait. Plus I will have my laptop at christmas [hopefully has usb2.0] so i will only have to suffer a lil.

Also factor in that I dont even have 2500 songs. I have like 500 so thats

1500mb = 1500 sec
1500sec = 25 mins

Not so bad! Thanks for your help :bigyello:

STROKES = OLD PEOPLE?
