  • I think the folks at Ars got it right. The image looks like and ECLIPSE to me...the sun coming back from behing the moon..with the Apple just being in silhouette. What could that mean?
  • Thanks, Ebby... He works at a university and may need to dual boot (or where ever we are going with that) to be able to do some windows-based stuff rarely, but it won't be a big thing..and the university surely won't be upgrading to Vista any tim…
  • Proxy, I don't know what was done. My father was walked through the proceedure by a 'specialist' on the subject over the phone. They apparently deleted the old setting for the named home network and changed some settings, but my dad couldn't s…
