Yup, that's the way I'd go. But it's good to have some wireless readiness built into the system too. Put a WLAN-card to your desktop and another one to your laptop and you can share your ADSL/whatever connection with your laptop. Also handy if you want to play your videos (that you've copied to your laptop at work from your workmates) from your laptop. And you can surf while you crap!
In unrelated news, a suggested improvement to the slashdot engine, which would add a so-called redundancy bit to the posted news, was presented to the Internet community. This 'bit' would be set when the story posted to slashdot.org had alreadybeen posted earlier, thus informing the editors to reject the post. Unfortunately everyone took this as an April fools joke and the idea was rejected..as we have been just shown!
My CPU is running at 266mhz now, what improvment would I see if I upgraded to a 333mhz bus chip...
Hehe..If you're CPU is really running 266Mhz (I'm not gonna pick on your millihertz this time), you'll discover a whole new world with a BUS running faster than your old computer.. All I'm saying is put those old boxes with a nice FreeBSD installed to the closet and use them for screen/IRC-client! Imagine the uptime..
I have absolutely no desire to spend a day with my firewall machine down while I upgrade all of the kernel dependencies, configure and build a 2.4 kernel, rewrite my firewall scripts for iptables
Man, what are you? A cold fish? Who wouldn't have such desires? I think you should get a life soon..:-)
How is it that reporters never get nailed for criminal trespass?
Perhaps US authorities don't want the world to think that they would have in their possession weapons of mass destruction, such as nuclear bombs..! Otherwise someone might attempt to claim a relation between Los Alamos and the possible nuclear weapons in, say, North-Korea and Middle East. And that couldn't be so, could it?
The only reason space isn't the top priority of all of the governments of the world today is because we humans as a majority don't really seem to care what happens to our great great great great (and so on) grandchildren.
Well talking about caring for our planet's future and the future of our grandchildren, other governments are caring a lot more than the USA. This is a bit of a flame here, but I really think that the cause justifies it. To survive the coming decades (in a society as we know it) and hopefully keep the wheels of progress turning, we really need to care more about the environment. At the same time that America is heading East to fill their bottomless petrol tanks, we should concentrate on developing (and using) environmentally friendly energy sources. If a percent or two would be cut from every country's mil-budget and put to building solar plants and developing more efficient solar cells and putting emphasis on moving from oil-driven society to solar power/wind power/what-not power driven economy, we would be a lot happier in 10 to 20 years. Instead more money is spent to make killing more efficient and securing the destruction of this Planet by burning more and more oil (which by the way has been happy for some millions of years just where is is) and eventually bringing the world on its knees. I don't want that.

If you can, go wired..
