I thought I was alone... I would not have believed that I could have a customer who's had a computer for a long time, and used them at work, and when I asked if she could reboot it, she had no idea what I meant.
We finally found that her putting her MAC into sleep mode resulted in no connection when it woke up. No idea why. She now shuts it down at night. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <insert witty tagline here> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Nash" <markl...@uwol.net> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Wednesday, June 10, 2009 11:26 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Crazy Weather > yeesh...
