Sporkster's advice column

My name's Jennifer, but I'm more commonly known as Jen or Sporkster. I love lots of things/people including God; volleyball and soccer, my two favorite sports; and cheese. I also love Pi, but that's a story for another day.

I've been answering questions on Advicenators for over three years now, so I'm pretty experienced with it. I love answering questions and helping you out anyway I can, so if you've got a question, just ask me!

Ask me about: Christianity, athletics, physical fitness, love-life, relationships, friendships, HTML queries, book suggestions, music suggestions, musical theory, history, English (or Spanish) grammar, Paint Shop Pro 8, skin problems, sports injuries, "punk" fashion, nutrition, etc.

Q: Right. I want an MP3 player, but the one I want says it is only compatible with USB 2.0 (or 'backwards' with USB 1.1). What on earth does that mean in English? And will this be OK on my PC, as my PC is now like 4 years old and a Windows 98.
Thanks!

A: If you have a USB 2.0 or 1.1 CABLE, you'll be fine.

Check with your mom/dad, whoever's more computer-saavy to find out whether you have one or not.

If you don't have one, don't worry--USB cables are pretty cheap. I think they cost anywhere from $4 - 12.

Your computer already comes with a USB port or two. Your printer is probably plugged into one, and you'll probably have an extra. Just connect the USB cable to your computer, then connect it to your mp3 player.

I hope that was clear enough for you, but if you need me to explain anything more thoroughly just ask me via private question.
