petroniaNow Mix96 is playing New Kids On The Block. The universe is m0xx0ring me.
Further proof of this: I just spent half an hour trying to locate a wake-on-LAN connector. There's nothing like staring at the guts of an unfamiliar computer, selectively blind to the widget one happens to be looking for, for thirty minutes.
Note also that I'm hooking this box up to the high-speed modem because I need to transfer files and the floppy drive is broken (could swap the drive but an ethernet card is cheap, and for the thing to be running on the obsolete home dial-up account of the next-to-last guy to have held this job is, well, stupid). This being the case, of course the drivers I need come on a floppy. It's just as well that Sympatico hasn't gotten around to killing the dude's dial-up yet, or I'd really be up the creek.
...Well, it's done now. FWIW. >_
