    Aug 21, 2006 · 6 min read  ·
    Share on:

    I'm on my second Macbook. My first one was fast and beautiful but it had that annoying moo and randomly shut down on a regular basis.

    Aug 9, 2006 · 1 min read  ·
    Share on:

    Share on:

    [super old post, reposted] A few weeks ago, I asked in an IT forum if it was possible to have a "perma-VPN" connection with Windows XP.
