There have been many discussions here of hardware suited to small
networks, so I know they can be set up and names like Netgear are
tucked away for future reference.  For now I'd just like to check

Yesterday my wife was using Safari on my iMac to trawl the web for
quotes on Pet Insurance.  Today I open Dashboard, and there's a widget
there I've never seen before.  It appears on top of the other widgets,
and consists of a very badly-designed order form for dog insurance,

I am now on my 3d charger for my G4 Powerbook - it is the 65W A1021
white jobbie.  The previous 2 both failed at the same point, namely
