The Pains of Birth

My iBook has finally arrived and I'd taken pretty much the entire afternoon just trying to figure out how to connect it to my PC through a LAN. Given the fact that most of my friends are either PC or Mac users and that they have routers, I am in a good position to say that I actually had a tough time doing just this simple task. I try not to impose on others, but this is unavoidable because of my lack of skill in this area. Anyway, I owe this feat to a couple of my friends. One's used to doing networking stuff and it's because of him that I'd managed to actually run the initial config. The other guy was more of a Mac user, so he understood my problem a little better. Between the two of them, I'd actually managed to get the job done. Banzai tomodachi! Anyway, I am now doing what would probably sprain the brains of some people: Running two different OS' at once and constantly switching between the two. I really like the specs of my iBook, though. 1.42ghz, 1gig ram and 60gb hdd. Fairly hefty for a laptop, and at a reasonable price, too! Guess the weight and compatibility issues are the only gripes I'd have about it. Currently trying to run the battery down for calibration and I'm finding that it's taking a rather long time. Fascinating.
