So.... can you print to the ImageWriter from the EEE? And can the Archie
speak to anything?

When it was setup, the Eee could theoretically have printed to the
ImageWriter using printersharing from a Mac running OS X.

The Archie could just about talk to the internet. Almost. The Apple IIgs
could read newsgroups, and handle IRC as a Classic Desk Accessory -
which is pretty good going for 1986 8-bit derived technology (a 16-bit
65C816 running at 2.8MHz as standard). All done with Apple soft/hardware
apart from a LocalTalk to Internet router on the Mac Quadra.

Hmm.

Virgin cable comes into the Surfboard cable modem, then to a Motorola
VT2442 WAN router/VoIP switch handling my Vonage phone line (no landline).

The VT2442 goes to three local PCs in 'the office' and a Safecom
SWAMRU-54108 wireless 4 port router/printer hub with an external 8.5dB
180 degree directional aerial to blanket the house.

Wired to downstairs is a Netgear FS605 5 port switch to an XBox running
XBMC (best bit of the lot), a Wii, a PS2, a wired/wireless laptop and a
'living room PC' for those times when you just gotta Google.

In the bedroom is another wired XBMC XBox, and the laptop goes up there
wireless so I can watch something decent while 'she' watches Ghostycrap
on TV.

Oh, and upstairs there's also a Netgear 'toaster' (SC-101) fanless RAID
disk server which is soon to be retired in favour of a FreeNAS server
running uPnP, DAAP, NFS, Samba etc etc. and also doing very-offsite rsync
based backup for a mate's business. At the same time the upstairs chunk
will go GBit -the toaster maxed out at 1.5MB/s where the FreeNAS is
network limited to ~10MB/s.

Hmm. Is it very sad that I didn't need to look up any of those model
numbers?
