I was using the server for DHCP intially and after several discussions with Apple Tech support I'm not doing that. I'm using my router for DHCP and firewall stuff and just have the server off the router. It makes for a much less complicated setup.</p> I solved my problem by not needing 2 Ethernet ports.

Apple, could at any time disable their adapter because it has a specific firmware chip on it. While they can’t and won’t disable the chipset used in their adapter - they COULD disable their adapter any time.

I understand that healthcare costs are huge. I ran a small business and paid for my employees healthcare. It’s not cheap. But I believe that most people who only pay a small share of their health care policy do not understand the limitations of that policy and expect everything the system has to offer simply because they have health insurance. Don’t even get me started on the entitlement attitude of those with no coverage and the demanding nature some of them possess.

Don’t assume that my charges are anything close to what the government is willing to pay. The dweeb is still sitting in front of the chart — it’s just that now he’s a government dweeb.

BTW, Terry wait for the day the government starts rationing healthcare services because that’s the only way they can afford them. And no arguments about the health insurance market being broken. Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately, as a trauma surgeon, not all my patients are healthy.

BUT</p> <p>Your problem with this is? If you are worried about getting paid. you could do worse. At least you might get paid what you bill for and not what some dweeb sitting in front of a chart says," well That procedure is about 1/2 of what you are charging. so here is what we will give you" nuff said on that.. I feel that in the greatest country in the world. Simple healthcare maters should not be for only the Few of us that can afford the $1,000.00 per month premiums that we have to pay . when average household income is less that 50k a year. you take out 12 k Just in case you break your arm. or god forbid your kid has a condition that requires you to expend your entire income (and usualy then some) to maintain a level of life that is worth living!! my bottom line. the current free market insurance system. is broken and it is in need of a crainial amputation! or at the minimum a disembowelment. Keep up the good work DOC. and may all your patients be healthy, After all isn't that why you joined the profession of healing?</p> Not to sound like an Redneck idiot. BUT
