My client is looking for a "less AJAXy" why to filter some of their
data. I've gotten it half-way there, but could use some guidance.

class Computer < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :owner
end

class Owner < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :computers
end

map.resources :owners, :has_many => :computers, :active_scaffold =>
true

So, /owners shows each owner, and I was able to nest the computers as
a link off each owner. They didn't care for how AJAXy this is, with
expanding data inlace. What the client wanted was just a page for each
owner, something to link directly to. I see that /owners/1/computers
does restrict the list to only the associated records, so I'm almost
al the way there. There's two things I can't figure out.

1) What's the best way to customize the page title? In
_list_header.html.erb the title is displayed as:
<h2><%= active_scaffold_config.list.user.label %></h2>
How can I modify this to just say "Computers" on the regular /
computers page, and something like "Mike's Computers" on a nested /
owners/1/computers page?

2) How can I tell Active Scaffold to hide the Owners column when in
this situation? It's awfully redundant.

3) (bonus) Is this the best way to go about proving this
functionality? Should I be going down a different ally?
