It's an old one in the IFP-700 series, not sure which one. Now, the problem is how to get it to work with Windows XP. A lot of old links to drivers have been found but they lead nowhere now. The drivers I do find are firmware drivers but my problem is that I get no contact between iRiver and Win XP, the iRiver cannot be installed as a removable device.

It's taken a while but the new electric cars are really interesting and especially the hybrids. The big problem has always been the charging issue, well, with a non-electric motor as a complement the hybrid cars more or less rid that problem. So, here are some links to more inspirational reading about the new and exciting electric cars:<br /><br />• <a href="http://www.thetimes.co.za/Columnists/Business/Article.aspx?id=767328" target="_blank">Electric cars are taking charge</a> (In English)<br />• <a href="http://www.bild.de/BILD/auto/2008/08/tesla-roadster/das-schnellste-elektroauto-der-welt-im-bild-test.html" target="_blank"> BILD testet das schnellste Elektro-Auto der Welt</a> (In German)<br />• <a href="http://www.handelsblatt.com/technologie/technik/chryslers-antwort-auf-den-tesla-roadster;2047271" target="_blank">Chryslers Antwort auf den Tesla Roadster</a> (In German)<br />• <a href="http://www.lavanguardia.es/free/edicionimpresa/res/20081004/53553060027.html?urlback=http://www.lavanguardia.es/premium/edicionimpresa/20081004/53553060027.html" target="_blank">El primer deportivo eléctrico</a> (In Spanish)<br />• <a href="http://www.alltommotor.se/artiklar/nyheter/svenskt-norskt-el-dorado-pa-gang-1.8464" target="_blank">Svenskt-norskt "El-dorado" på gång</a> (In Swedish)<br />• <a href="http://www.dagbladet.no/2008/12/05/nyheter/miljo/bil_og_trafikk/3937144/" target="_blank">Denne kjerra er ingen miljøsinke</a> (In Norwegian)<br />• <a href="http://politiken.dk/erhverv/article365295.ece" target="_blank">Clooney's nye bil vandt designkonkurrence</a> (In Danish)<br />• <a href="http://www.telegraaf.nl/autotelegraaf/2096110/__Elektrische_auto_in_schijnwerpers_op_autoshow_Parijs__.html?p=17,1" target="_blank">Elektrische auto in schijnwerpers op autoshow Parijs</a> (In Dutch)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133387412319550923.post-6860613206118949462009-01-26T01:58:00.000-08:002009-01-26T02:31:20.030-08:00First postHere's a new blog! Couldn't get the URL that I wanted since it was already in use, so I had to add "the" in it. Well, I'll survive...<br /><br />Anyway, the title for this blog, "Mental Vagabond", is what I feel like so a bit of everything is to be expected on this blog. The focus will be on photography and graphics since that's something I really like doing. I publish my work here and there and links to my stuff will be provided.<br /><br />Now, to start off in a nice way, here's an image of mine:<br /><br /><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 381px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmlGVgAPN05k2x5Q-W0Bn3FBA-Q0HQr6VCqTG_hf3TnRarL15wwRn5M6Y8cWU_EoPENcsQN_zLN2O58kKeDNvYNnOANf5_TZ6v5-HAxFJ_JEgs-_GJ05BFb9gigNLXT3rlXORmeGS38fkN/s400/my_heart.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295545179084053794" border="0" /><br /><br /><br />This image is available for purchase from <a href="http://eu.fotolia.com/p/200779182/partner/200779182">Fotolia</a>.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
