I have to set up my Linux box as an iTunes music server. I played around with it a bit but the instructions “get Rendezvous” didn’t go into much detail on what to do with it when you got it (no, it’s not blindingly obvious). My grant plan is twofold. First of all, ignore for […]

Well, took in my Windows box to Discovery Computers where I got it a month ago to get the power supply replaced. That went just fine, but while he was ripping the old one out and putting the new one in he noticed a strange noise (which honestly wasn’t there before that I noticed) that
