You need to send it a magic pack first. I would recommend MCWOL ([www.matcode.com] Absolutely the best product to wake your computer. From a DOS prompt (or scripted) just type: mc-wol AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF. Your computer should wake within a minute or two, then you can remote in.

Sell the rotary phones on eBay, they can actually fetch a nice price. Next, use the profits from the phones to run new phone lines in the house. For all practicality, you only need one if you have a portable phone. This should take care of all of you current and future issues. This comes to you from a fellow owner…

Netflix, Carbonite and a domain name registration.

Hasn't this been tried before?

The honey thing works but make sure it is local UNPASTEURIZED honey. Many stores sell honey that is pasteurized and it will not work as well. I had a friend with bad allergies and gave his some of the honey I got from a local bee keeper. His symptoms practically disappeared in about two weeks.

I take stats like downloads with a grain of salt. I downloaded it for our company and made it available on the network since I figured the download servers would be really heavily burdened on launch day. I'm sure other companies did the same thing so I'd bet that number should be much higher.

I have a triple monitor setup with a standard aspect ration and have the hardest time finding wallpapers at 3840x1024. Anyone have any good suggestions where I might find some?

I know right now it's telling me the release date of the Droid Bionic. :-/

He|| yes! We block a great deal of content at my work (which I am responsible for). You wouldn't believe how much time people spend trying to get around the blocks.
