>> you can go to Apple.com and set up a phone support call and explain the whole problem in the message so the person you speak to has an idea of the reason for the support call.  Seems easier than going out to the Apple Store - maybe a first step.

>> I certainly don't know but if you are having things show up in the finder window you might go to the Prefs for Finder and check on what is listed as contents on sidebar =- I don't know what Neighborhood would be other than perhaps you have Bluetooth or Bonjour enabled???  And they/it are picking up signals??
