the Japanese one on the shelf at 1:04 reads ????”Fudou-san” – “Real Estate.” There’s some katakana at the top of the box, but it seems to be nonsense – ??????????.

The horse one is… confusing.

You need to network your PC with hers using an ethernet cable(LAN). Router is optional as it's primarily used for the internet. So, if you are both setup with the internet thru a router or if your just connected together with a LAN cable, then jsut create a network for printer sharing using the Network Setup Wizard in "Network Connections" in start menu or desktop

Go to Power Options in the control panel. You will find all the choices there. Power off, sleep, hibernate, stand by, etc.

Go to help to read about the various options. You can have a complete power off. You can have a mode that stores memory and powers off for a quicker startup. You can have a mode that just puts it in low power mode which starts up almost instantly. I use the last.

Fraid not..

Deskside support is slowly being phased out (where the repair tech comes to your desk). PCs have gotten so "cheap" that it's less expensive for a company to have a few spares on hand, swap out the hard drive and poof! the user is back in business.
Of course my perspective is corporate customers, I dont know what small businesses do.

The real opportunity is setting up wireless networks, installing anti-virus and anti-spamware software, developing secure VPNs for mobile employees, and integrating handheld devices (Blackberry and Windows Mobile phones) into the company.

The tech repair guys (unless you want to strike out on your own and target home and small business users) are low paid employees due to the commoditization of PCs.

Hope that helps you..

Good Luck and HNY
