                                 Connectivity

Meanwhile, back at the Facility in the Middle of Nowhere, the Cable Company
came out to install the cable modem (and cable TV while they were at it).
Since our current firewall was still at Condo Conner, the cable modem was
attached to Rob's [1] computer.

Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but this is a cable modem and they
usually lock onto the MAC address of the network card they hook up to. But
we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

But for now, we have connectivity at the Facility in the Middle of Nowhere.

Oh, and cable TV. With about five zillion channels, including TechTV, which
Spring [2] is thrilled over.
