Tax Center - online filing with TurboTax > http://taxes.yahoo.com/ -- In the June 15, 2000 issue of the magazine "Internet World" Alex Lightman points out that; "Moores Law, which holds that computer chips double in processing power every 18 months" and also notes that Ray Kurzweil claims in Age of Spiritual Machines that its closer to every 12 months. Things get scary for some singularity forecasters around 2020, when computing power equivalent to the human brain is expected to cost about $1,000. and even more frightening with all the brain power in the U.S. available for $1,000 by 2040. "The idea of the singularity as ground zero for human extinction will pose a chal lenge in the very near future" Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Mandrake 8.1 box in basement, with canon bjc4300 attached Windows box upstairs with HP2200 attached to it iMac Upstairs with no printer. The windows box exports the HP printer, the Mandrake box exports the both the Canon & the HP (via samba) to the iMac via appletalk. As far as the windows box is concerned, the HP is only shared to the Linux machine, Windows does not even see the iMac, and the iMac does not even see the windows machine. -- Alex http://www.qsl.net/kc2ivl Linux 2.4.18 #5 Sat Mar 9 21:44:22 EST 2002 i686 8:00pm up 22:15, 2 users, load average: 0.71, 0.50, 0.37 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

We've used this software at work to allow Macs to connect to our Windows-based network. I didn't use it with Samba, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. You may not want to pay the money, but I thought I'd mention it in case. - Kathy Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Just looked at the Gyach site - interesting, but doesn't do voice communication, unless I've missed something! However, when searching Google for Gyach, I stumbled across Freewebfone 3.3, which claims to be cross-platform for all 3. Anyone got any experience with this? Thanks, Ron. __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
