All right, all right. I admit, it'd be kinda nice to have a cable modem coming into this house. I guess I'm holding out for a DSL solution to creep into my neighborhood. Besides, I'm really not thrilled about giving even more money to my cable company -- which, in my opinion, doesn't treat their customers well. For those of you already surfing at coaxial speed, BE SURE you have your 'file and print sharing' options turned OFF! Anytime you're on a Network (other than at work), you don't want anybody seeing what's on your system. Open the Network applet in your Control Panel, press the 'File and Print Sharing' button, and be sure the boxes are cleared of checkmarks. Spread the word!
