I just installed a 802.11g wireless network today, and I'm posting this from the bathroom! I won't get into details, but this wireless stuff is really great

Yeah, my company set me up with a wireless network, too. What's really cool was that I went to pick up my fiance at her office the other day and I guess there must have been a wireless network in the building somewhere, because I was able to surf the web from my laptop in the parking lot!

Yeah Jeff, what I think is really great is that my wireless router uses vacuum tubes, and my internet experience is much greater than if it used solid state devices!

Soundhound,

I hope everything comes out fine for you.

I am thinking about getting a new computer with a CPU that uses triode logic instead of silicon based logic devices. I heard that the computed results have a greater sense of "air" and "definition". The results are much more "liquid" and have a certain "je ne sais quoi" quality treasured by inarticulate charlatans everywhere.

A much more satisfying computational experience can be enjoyed by the computer user, even while experiencing a windows BSOD!!!

I read that the computations from the ENIAC vacuum tube computer had a certain "there-ness" that later solid state computers have never matched. The numerical results "lept from the page" more from the vacuum tube computer. The solid state results were "hard", "brittle" and "glassy" - difficult to look at, the numbers not at all pleasing. I also heard that one reason the Russians made such remarkable progress on their weapons systems during the Cold War era was that their computers used vacuum tubes. I believe every word of it....

Soundhound, you totally rock!

Jeff

This is a NEW development?

I had already assumed ALL your posts were coming from the toilet.

Very funny......very funny....You're Kill'in me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are certain images I would rather not contemplate

I intend to hang this in a certain room, to remind all where proper people go to read and write.

I guess it's just a "guy" thing to want to surf the net from the toilet.....
