The cable modem is here. Two Time Warner Road Runner service people visited me today. The first installed the physical cable modem and activated it. When he left, I managed to almost instantly get my PowerBook online. The second service person set me up with my user name, password and mail servers — a job so simple, I probably knew more about how to do it than he did. As soon as he left, I broke out my Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL Router, and now I’ve got both my PowerBook and Sony VAIO up and running, sharing the one connection. Wheee!
