"Have you ever walked up to a server, hit its KVM switch, and started
fiddling with something?only to realize that you'd hit the wrong KVM switch
and were actually working on an entirely different system than you thought?
(Go ahead and admit it: It's happened to all of us.)"
Not here - the backgrounds of each machine on the 8 machine KVM (6 in use)
have custom graphics that tell me what machine I'm on so no biggie here. I
think also that TechRepublic might not let everyone in as it requires a
signup even though it's essentially free to use (I wouldn't be signed up if
it weren't). Maybe this will open but not let them download, I forget the
restrictions on it.
Off for a "fun" day of driving the state from south to north in the frontal
rains of Katrina. I think I'm takling holiday once the main storm comes in
Tuesday/Wednesday though - 20 mph winds are enough fun in my small Ranger
with solid topper - like a sailboat.

How many times have you had to quickly find some pertinent information
about a system, such as IP address, volume sizes, service pack level, or
processor type? Sysinternals' free BGInfo utility makes this process much
easier. In this Windows Server 2003 tip, Scott Lowe introduces you to BGInfo
and tells you why you should download it today.
