I forgot to say when I was at your place: if you pass by that Used Computers store on B St in your travels before Friday, try to see if you can buy two RJ-45 ethernet cables: one regular cable and one cross-over cable. If it turns out to be over $15 together, tell me and I'll just buy 'em from eBay 'cause I' m sure I can get 'em cheaper than that. If they don't sell ethernet cables, tell me and I'll buy 'em from eBay. (eBay is actually cheaper than the cost of taking public transit to Fremont and buying stuff there.)
