Re: [Palindrome] bad news about wired internet and the mystery cabinet

You have a Mac, right? Because you might be able to hook in to the
wireless through one of the other Macs using the "Computer to Computer
Network" feature.

Otherwise, I think your only network option would be to run the printer
cable through a hub/switch. I did receive permission from someone on
the Network Team to run that device, though I am a lot less comfortable
with hooking it up if we have to have it sitting far away from us.
Presumably, though, if we can find a live net drop, we can run the 50'
cable from there to the hub and then out to whatever machines might
need it.

I feel that I have only a rudimentary smattering 
of information, and most of it's wasted on words 
like "rudimentary" and "smattering."
