Well Apple is not a democracy, which is it's greatest strength and
weakness. It comes down to the single vision of one man and sometimes that

The idea is there is a block of HD space that's been taken over and a normal

Yes, I had no real need or funds for a computer even though I had had a

You can limit network access by using Firewall Client IP filters in a router.
This is probably not a perfect solution because it limits the whole machine
during a specific time.
If your friend wanted to use the machine during the restricted hours, he would
have to either log into the router and
