One of the most satisfying tech moments of my so-called life was getting my new iMac onto my LAN two winters ago. I dreaded hooking it up, ’cause I expected hours of fuss-time, looking up DNS numbers, subnet masks, and the like.

Contrast this with my son getting an MSN Messenger watch for Christmas that year and us spending hours trying to figure out how to get a message from my WinPC to his watch. <\/p>\n
