A gateway is anything that allows access to another network, eg. you can set up a PC to be a gateway and share a modem connection with other PCs on the same LAN. A router is an actual device, that also happens to be a gateway. (To *nix zealots - shh.) Apologies if I'm being vague, I...

I never got a case-study question based on something not in the exam. Maybe it's just my teacher. :D

In the real world: Hubs - not really used anymore. Switch - You have groups of computers connected to these. These are connected back to one or more... Routers - These act as gateways to the Internet (or the _Intra_net on a company LAN).

Ok, I'll start from the ground and work upwards: Hub - allows multiple computers to talk to eachother on a Local Area Network. 'Dumb' - anything it receives it retransmits to all the other computers attached to it. Switch - a 'smart' hub: it only retransmits messages to the destination...

Et vous. My post about the Run dialog also applies to Win98 (last time I looked).

Not four. Just have one in your mind, if you can think of one. There's one in chapter 4, but it's rubbish. Use it if you have to. I don't have the book here, being ex-HSC, but you can ask specific questions. Sorry. :( (Edit - typo.)

After you get the wireless network up, you need to install ICS on the win98 machine, and set the Mac to get its IP via DHCP. I've had difficulties getting *nix playing with ICS before. *Sigh*

For anyone with *nix and is interested in the programming side of things: http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/sphinx/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/cmusphinx/ Have fun. (By the way, to any UTS-ers, this is the speech system that was shown off in DCA today.)

Look, in Win98 in the run dialog you have a history of what you're previously typed there before. In Win2k/XP, as you type filenames, it autocompletes them. It doesn't do this in Win98 - it just uses ze history. Ne?

> real quick kinda [d]etailed In-depth but shallow? Quick but slow? Complex but simple? Make your mind up.

It'd be funny if they subconsciously marked you down because the name sounded 'Fake'. :D

Doesn't this smell a _little_ bit like a hoax to you? *Sigh*

Umm... Karate (Go-kan-ryu) (yellow/orange-tip). And a small amount of Kendou. And an even smaller amount of Aikidou. I _really_ want to have another go at Aikidou. I'm not very flexible, mind, so it might a tad difficult. The lower grades of GKR seem to be focused on meeting force with...

LOUD birds, traffic, kids playing sport outside. *Sigh*

Umm... Unless you want to relay your fears onto others, you probably want others to allay your fears. </pedant>

You scared me for a minute there. Oh, yes. Cygwin be praised. Except when it reboots your box in WinXP (*Shudder*). (Always happens when I hit the dreaded ':wq' after editing /etc/profile. I have no idea why.)

Pass the most useful parts of the notes onto someone else. Burn the rest if you have to. Case in point: my previous teacher (Gosbell) gave us some wonderful notes for Donne. The new(er) teacher didn't really have anything as detailed as the previous lot. She got my copies.
