Does furniture made from Indonesian mahogany contribute to deforestation in Indonesia?

The Bobs Jamestown bedroom set (http://www.mybobs.com/Jamestown.aspx) is apparently made from Indonesian Mahogany. I have read in a couple websites that illegal logging is a growing problem in Indonesia. Does buying furniture like this contribute to the problem?


Answer
Simply put, yes. It doesn't matter if it is legally imported or not, this trade makes a market for the illegally imported items.

Can I print from a wireless computer in my home network to a non-wireless printer?

In my network I have two laptops and a wireless netgear router. I have a regular printer physically connected to one of the laptop. Can I send something to print from the laptop that is not connected physically to the printer via the laptop that is connected to the printer. Currently, if I have something to print on the remote computer I have to take it up from the bedroom to the printer in the living room and physically connect it to the printer.


Answer
Yes, but you have to set the printer up for Sharing on the network. Try this:

XP machines should be able to simply Share the printer from the machine it’s attached to, this way:

1.Click the Start->Control Panel menu item.
2.Click Printers and Other Hardware.
3.Click Printers and Faxes.
4.Click the printer in question.
5.Click the Printer->Sharing menu item.
6.Click the Share radio button.
7.Give the printer a name.
8.Click OK.

If the machine with the printer has Windows XP and the other has Windows Vista or, probably, Windows 7, you have to do a bit more than that. Try this:

1.On the XP machine, set the printer to Sharing in the Printers and Faxes dialog box, as detailed above.
2.On the Vista machine, get to the Add A Printer dialog.
3.Click Add a local Printer. (Yes, I know it's not local. Trust me.)
4.Click the Create a new port radio button. Leave the type of port set to Local Port.
5.Click the Next button.
6.In the Port Name text box, enter the printer's name, complete with the other machine's name (e.g. \\Bob's Machine\Bob's Printer).
7.Click OK.

Hope that helps.
