not that I haven’t had internet access in my living room before, but this is the first time that it’s come in from another room & another computer. yeah, I finally figured out the networking thing, with a positively antique hub. for the time being, the cable is strung rather loosely across the hall & living room floor…tomorrow’s task is to route the cords so that there’s no chance I’ll trip over them while getting ready for work at 6 am. 😛
(which I guess is one argument for WiFi, but the argument against is that we already had a hub, 2 network cards, and enough cable to stretch from my office to the living room, so no additional expense…always an important factor in geekery.)
