I'm not sure... After poking around a little, I wonder if there might
be something you could set in NetInfo's NSGlobalDomain. I don't know
enough about NetInfo though; if anyone else knows how to do something
like this, I'd be interested in hearing too.

Is it a fact --- or have I dreamt it --- that, by means of electricity,
the world of matter has become a great nerve, vibrating thousands of
miles in a breathless point of time? Rather, the round globe is a vast
head, a brain, instinct with intelligence! Or, shall we say, it is
itself a thought, nothing but thought, and no longer the substance
which we deemed it!
