Sometimes I rue the day may son was born: he’s obnoxious, rude, unsympathetic, and he really is very messy. Other times, of course, I realize that he is the love of my life. Occasionally, he can actually be helpful! Unbelievable, I know.
One of those moments of amazement occurred just yesterday: my son took time out of his busy schedule to teach me how to download music using a piece of software called Ares Galaxy. He’d been using the software are many months, so he says, and has amassed quite a collection of music, some of which he will never ever listen to, I’m sure. He told me I could get free music using this software, and I was pretty much sold from there!
So we downloaded the software, installed on the computer, and tried to get my favorite Queen songs. Unfortunately, the software sometimes won’t connect to the network. I have no idea what it means, but my son reliably told me that was the problem. It was a bit of a disappointment, I admit, but then didn’t really know what I was missing. I was ready to leave it and get on with my life. “No, No!”, says may son. We’re not done yet!
Next we went to a site called Official Ares and downloaded something called Ares Vista. This, he told me, was going to solve our problems.
We downloaded and installed this new piece of kit, and away we went. This time, to my amazement, it worked first time. He showed me how to wield this newly found weapon and I was happily downloading songs all evening.
Next morning I woke and got ready to start downloading a couple dozen more classic songs. Guess what? It wouldn’t work. I dragged my son from The Pit and demanded to know why my new toy had suddenly broken. It’s the same problem he told me. The network connection again.
Again, we surfed the web the found another piece of software called Ares Connect. AresConnect is, I was reliably informed, a little bolt on application that will solve all our worries. It has been recently developed to meet the concerns of those who are having trouble making Ares Connect.
Ares Connect installed like a dream and worked first time. I was a little concerned that we would go back to a nonworking state, but so far so good! I’ll let you know how it goes.
