Vanderbilt exams run April 23 through May 2. Students must be out before noon on May 4*. During move-out there are always marked "drop off" areas outside residence halls for students moving out. As at least the areas I am aware of are outside, I personally would cover any working electronics. *

Wow, that's steep by comparison. I wonder if they did that because more and more people of ditching them? The garage we unloaded them into was full of mainly CRT televisions. The guys said most of the time these days they scrapped them for raw materials. Makes sense. From: nlug-talk@googlegrou

If you are in Rutherford county, on Tuesdays and Saturdays, you can drop off electronics with the City (Haley Drive). They will take CRTs for free *IF* you the CRT unit has a power cord attached. Otherwise, it is also $5 each. I took a dozen over there a few weeks ago. Several monitors and some 30+

As most VPNs tend to isolate the "client" (windows) from the local environment (though many have the ability to not do this if the VPN admins will allow it). This posed a huge problem for me working as I often needed to be on the VPN connec

I can't speak to the VPN part, but I run Win7 x64 in VirtualBox on my Ubuntu 12.10 machine at work. Strictly for Adobe CS stuff, so the host has 16GB RAM and roughly half of that dedicated to the VM. As long as you install the guest additions everything is just peachy. Jim Peterson On 04/20/2
