The state of the network
In the plains of northern Ohio, I am reduced to network poverty.
However impoverished the connection may be, the local network is nutty:

My parent’s iMac is connected to the outside world via 56K dialup. Carrie’s iBook is wired via ethernet to a little hub, and sharing the iMac’s connection to the outside world. We then turned on connection sharing on her iBook, and I am connecting wirelessly to her iBook, which routes me through to the iMac, which routes me out to the world.
Really, they did get connection sharing right in OS X.
