It makes more sense to hit my computer's power button to turn it off like any old appliance in my home. Don't most computers support this now? I just haven't been around any computers, except 5+ year old machines, that don't support this.

Fixing the DHCP ACK issue seems like it would require a switch update/upgrade so that the switch doesn't allow traffic to any physical port by any other physical port, except the dhcp server's physical port, until the machine connected to that port gets assigned an IP address, by the DHCP server, in response to the machine's DHCP request.
Someone on dial-up could easily exceed those limits in less than a month (at 2KB/sec continuously). What kind of ISP are you on that has such extreme limits like that?
If anyone wants to get a friend/relative/particularly attractive stranger interested in Linux, give them an Ubuntu CD, a quick 5 minute lesson on backing up and partitioning and they are good to go!
How do you pull off teaching someone how to backup their stuff in only 5 minutes?
What happens if someone loads X when the monitor is still turned off? If X gets no response to the query, does that mean it drops back to 640x480 @ 60hz or would it just completely fail to load?
Does that motherboard have boot block support to still let you reflash the bios from a floppy even when your system won't boot properly? or did that also fail for you?
slightly off topic but does anyone else have trouble reading those annoying "confirmation your not a script images"? The one I am looking at right now is nearly impossible to read.

Forgot your

So, you didn't do a full format of your floppy before using it for a bios flash upgrade?
Does that motherboard have boot block support to still let you reflash the bios from a floppy even when your system won't boot properly? or did that also fail for you?
Are those counts of the actual memory in use? or their "allocated" memory?
Are you sure you are human?
