Ahhh.  It's nice to see I'm not the only one that's lost it around here.
:)

The new cable router was installed without fuss.

I'm still in a state of shock.  For the last 10 years, I've been working
on a DSL line that gave me 64k download and 25k upload speeds.  I thought
it was fast. *cough*  Boy, was I wrong.

I'm currently downloading the binary ISO images for Fedora Core 4 (a Linux
distribution) and it's humming along at nearly 700k/second.  I'm
completely stunned.  This thing is FAST.  Stupidly fast.  Astonishingly
fast.  Incomprehensibly fast.  Gaaaah!

I love it.  Muahahahahahaha.

Now all I have to do is get all my servers reconfigured and moved.  Right
now the servers are still on the ADSL line.  That should change over the
next couple of weeks as I get things moved around.  I'm going to be
replacing the web server with a machine of much higher capacity.

What questions did you have?
