I will pull those tonight and look at the roots.

The person I had bough the White Fairy from told me how to divide it and
said I should do it as soon as I got home. I did, and I may have not
repotted it correctly with the peat moss (too much, too tight) and need to
loosen up the mix.

Another newbie question - Peat moss or a lavalrock / bark mixture? The
books seem to say either one is fine. I am using peat moss, but I look at
it from a water prospect - The peat moss will hold more water longer in the
windows (I think) and therefore less watering required.

You have definitely burned the phalaenopsis. They prefer fairly low light
levels - definitely no direct Dallas sunlight - so you can either move
them farther away from the window, put them in a east-facing one, or put
up some shears to cut the intensity, as the screen may have done.

The Degarmoara Winter Wonderland is an oncidium intergeneric hybrid that
will like a somewhat higher light levels, but it also prefers to be a bit
cooler. I, in a brief look, didn't see any overt scorching, but the
pseudobulbs do appear to be a bit desiccated, suggesting underwatering, or
rotted roots.

A few new plants, still trying to learn and get adjusted to light
requirements.

Please look at http://home.comcast.net/~katkom/Orchids/ and give me your
opinion. I think My main problem is too much sun now that it is warming
up here in Dallas texas. That window gets sun from about 11 am until the
sun goes down.
