AJMSmith Use a wireless router. Any PC attached to the network will need a network card. Cat 5/5e/6 cable will be needed if the machine is not a wireless card. Use the instructions which come with the hardware to set up the ntwork.

Daylight Savings Time

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50390) • St. Catharines, Ontario 9 Mar 07

Daylight savings time starts this weekend in Canada and the States, but other countries still adhere to April 4. So do computer programs... Will this cause any major problems or is it just this year's flavor of "Y2K"?

AJMSmith Not with windows .... the registry contains the data used for the time zone/ clock changes and this is flexible enough to cope. You can even add custom timezones if you wish.

AJMSmith Cut the linear dimensions bt a factor of 4 and the brick is 164th the weight (a stack 4x4x4 fills the same space) so the weight would be 1/16 Kg or 62.5g

Hey, I have no stars. Why is that? I think I write good discussions and responses. What's going on?

AJMSmith You need to make 100 posts before you get a star. Basically the reason is that before then there is not enough information on which to base a star rating to give one.
