From: "Glenn Meadows" 

They've got 5 machines at home now, as I figure it from talking to him.
Have no clue how he had all of them setup.  He's got 3 computers, 2
personal and 1 company laptop, and each of his kids have laptops, Thinkpad
T20's. The router is a new Wireless Linksys.  Have no clue what he's
replacing though.

Going to stay out of that end of the setup.  I do check his company laptop
every couple of weeks, it's squeaky clean at each checkup though.
