The Machine now has a gig of RAM! At present this seems to allow me to download mp3s from WinMX all the faster...yo ho ho; too bad I don't care for rum...

The firewall router is pretty cool, too: all I had to do was connect everything and turn it on. It automatically did the rest (of course, my machines were already set up for DHCP). I can't use the print server functionality, however - my printer (Lexmark Z45) is USB only and the print server needs a parallel hookup. No big.

I started teaching the .NET Framework Intro on Barnes & Noble University on Monday. It should be a fun class - looks like just "girls" so far, although I'm sure there are lurking guys. Next week the ActiveX Part 3 starts on Element K - I'm hoping that at least someone will show up and post. I'm quite surprised the class didn't cancel. I got an email reminding me that I could sign up for Desktop Part 2 - hmmmm...I wonder if that means they are having trouble filling it? I'll continue the SMS application saga anyhow - never know when I might get to teach Part 2, after all.

Well, time for me to go do something productive, like fill out my little boy's preschool paperwork...

Until whenever!
