i just installed a little ikea lamp on my wife's desk. no problem so far, the only thing that's really wierd is that the switch of the lamp is next to the power supply. to use it she would have to crawl under the desk and use the switch :-( - NSF

therefore i installed a sis-pm silvershield from gembird (which has 4 sockets that are switchabel via usb) and sispmctl and wrote a simple applescript program. now she can simply click on the script in the menu to turn the litght on/off :-)

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache

should do the trick on leopard
