Aye, sorry 'bout that ... I'll be careful. :-)

It was more the wireless thing I was pointing out, though. These apple
base stations can also dialup your isp and masquerade lots of machines
behind the one connection. Plus, there exists a wee java applet to
configure the base station - one doesn't have to use a macintosh to do
so.
