There are two computers in my house, an athlon 1700+ in the living room,
right next to the sofa which is our main entertainment unit, acting as it
does as:
DVD player
Games Machine
Phone Charger
Hifi
Radio
Children's Entertainment
Home Office
Cheap Communication Device
Broadband Internet Portal
and much more...
It is also connected to the second puter, located for now in my bedroom - a
K6-2 350Mhz dinosaur that runs startlingly fast as I've tweaked it to heck.
That puter did perform all of the above functions until it was retired after
the Athlon arrived. Now it's a testbed for my adventures in networking.
Now networking to me is a very very new area and I admit I went into the
task completely blind. After much huffing and puffing up and down stairs, a
row with my better half and much sweating and swearing I managed to set up
file AND internet sharing over the network.
This was such an achievement for me that even two weeks later, I'm still
chuffed to bits!
