Are you only in the local[1] section? 'Coz when the new neighbors (who
apologized for making noise, incidentally) moved in, someone started a
NYTimes subscription and they have denied it is theirs. So unless
someone started a subscription for me without telling me (unlikely) I
am getting an inexplicable subscription and will be able to search for
your photo, yours, in tomorrow's paper.

I assume this is a section that is carried in the paper nationally,
but I cannot say for sure.

It is old celebrity. This photo has run before in the Times, actually.

Can we rule out the possibility that the picture shows an Easter egg
hunt, or has any other connection with Easter?
Does the picture have anything to do with Passover?
Does the picture show fans of Kurt Cobain commemorating the
anniversary of his suicide?

I don't want you to feel bad, so the truth is that I didn't start a NY
Times subscription for Veronique. The NY Times sometimes leaves free
newspapers at doorsteps for several weeks; then they will call to see
if you want to continue receiving the paper with a subscription.
And yes, you are chopped liver.

I found you: Sunday Styles section, top of page 4, photo labelled #6.

SonicWall (I think they spell it SonicWALL) makes firewall and
Internet security products. We have a very small office, so ours is
quite simple. I don't know how sophisticated their other products are.
VPN (Virtual Private Network) allows me to have remote access to the
server at work. The other folks use PC Anywhere, which I find clumsy
and slow.
So, until our particular product has updates from SW to work with
Vista, I have to use my XP laptop at home when I need something from
my server.

One workaround for legacy mode would be to run the old operating
system within Vista as a virtual PC.
Unfortunately this requires Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista
Enterprise, Windows Vista Ultimate, Windows XP Professional, or
Windows XP Tablet PC Edition.
Of course, since Microsoft has documented the procedure to extend the
free evaluation of Vista for 30 days at a time pretty much
indefinitely (google on <skip rearm Vista>) by modifying a registry
entry, it's not exactly difficult to evaluate Vista Ultimate for as
long as it takes to be really sure it meets your needs.
\So far I've booted up Ubuntu within a Virtual PC partition.
The Virtual PC program is a free download from Microsoft, BTW.

Thanks for that info. (I don't need it particularly)
My XP Pro install is on a laptop that tops out ram-wise at 512MB,
Virtual PC might be a struggle. ;>
I'm upping the hdd though to an 80GB and then probably slip Ubuntu right
in next to M$.
