Spent three hours today looking for a local computer supplier that carried female-to-female adapters for my 10base2 ethernet network. I thought I needed one in order to add a network "extension cable" to the pre-existing T-connector in my room so I could connect my laptop and drag it around the house. I finally located a place, went there, brought the adapter back home. After some simple testing, I soon realized I could have used both ends of a regular T-connector instead! Doh! Jeesh...nobody tells me these things...

Well everything is copasetic now--I can now drag my laptop around the house while it is still connected to the Internet. Basically that means I can access the Internet in the kitchen, living room and the bathroom (if I wanted to).
