I have one now. It's one of those things....
I bought it and installed it today. It was simple and cost me about $80. But I have a problem.
Not having a network made me want to get out more (so that I could get in the internet), and made me have to go downstairs to use the compy....
Now that I have a network, I don't really ever have to leave my room. Ever.
 
This is an issue I have with society. We make everything too easy on ourselves. I first noticed it when I would spend hours downloading songs my freshman year. It took 20 to 40 minutes for one mp3, and it allowed me alot of talk time on AIM and I coud even do homework while they downloaded. My source was either mySpace or Altavista, which meants I actually had to look for mp3s that I wanted. The search was half the fun.
Then we got broadband, and downlowding was nearly as social or productive as it used to be. Then MySpace decided to be efficient, so I didn't really have to look for music. Now torrents and Rhapsody take all the fun at all out of looking for more music. I mean, once you have an entire database of songs available to download from the same place, what's the point of collecting songs?
So now I won't be going to Northtown nearly as often, which is good for my wallet I guess, but I won't get as much social interaction, since now I'll only go if I get an invitation.
 
Modern technology is great in that it solves monotonous tasks in life, but once they're gone you realize how much the monotonous tasks were a necessary part of your life.
 
I still wish I was born in the 1920s.
