Thank you for your continuing support. We would be totally lost without you guys (especially dealing with Dell, Comcast, etc - they don't talk my language)!

From: Shawna (Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario)

To: ALT Consulting

We hired ALT consulting to help write a request for proposal (RFP) for a web design company to design and develop a new educational website, also to help in the selection process. We are so pleased to have had the opportunity to have Artem as part of this process. His knowledge, experience and honestly were integral in this process. Artem is trustworthy, reliable, responsive and extremely helpful especially to the non-techy types. He really takes to time to get to know his client's needs and what his client is about. He was (and still is – even though our contract has completed) dedicated to making sure we got what we wanted and is very thoughtful about the advice he provided. We even received kudos on our clear and well written RFP from the companies bidding on the project!
It was a great experience and we look forward to a continuing relationship.
Thank you!

**THANK YOU** (now I can get back to working!)

I don't know if I'm just an old-time "thickie" but I can't figure out how to use Unity effectively. It sure looks to me like one of those things that look great, and demo great, but end up being in the way and slowing you down as soon as you start to use them.

For example, when I hit alt-tab to switch between windows it shows only which applications I have running (a relatively small number) instead of all of the windows each has. Hovering for a while over on of the apps (e.g. the terminal) then shows me all the terminals available. Really pretty, and fantastic demo-ware - but, instead of being able to flick back and forth between windows in a quarter of a second, it now takes me 2s-3s (unless there is a quicker shortcut that I haven't found yet).

A very big THANK YOU. My poor old machine was struggling with Unity. Strangely, when I first installed 11.04 it said my system could not run Unity and would use gnome... when the system upgraded to 11.10 a couple of days ago it gave me Unity! Your instructions are great, the only other thing I had to do was set my user account to ask for my password as I'd turned that off as I'm the only person to used this system.

Thanks for the info about how to get Gnome classic installed; Unity has been a complete turn-off, to the point that I've told members of my group not to update to 11.X because of it.

MANY THANKS for the following tip: there was realy a version of Zone Alarm firewall installed on the PC.

After a restart, the Internet connection (Port 80) was open for about 8 or 10 minutes. Then, the Port was blocked. All other Ports were open.

The only solution was your description:

3 [...] Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\vsdatant
4 Click start in the right pane and modify the value from 2 (may be other than 2) to 3. [...]

Many Thanks!
