Whoa, nostalgia flashback: most of the school libraries in my area had a phone-net setup, they looked like this: http://www.oldmac.de/uploads/images/netzwerk/netzwerk03.jpg http://www.oldmac.de/uploads/images/netzwerk/netzwerk03.jpg I had an injury in high school that pushed me out of PE class and into the library, where instead of sorting books I helped the librarian with the macs. The newer macs had ethernet, the older one's had AppleTalk over PhoneNet. I set up a bridge on one of the newer Macs (OpenTransport) to route TCP/IP from the Appletalk network to the ethernet network so that the older machines could get online. This meant that the school could get more computers internet access instead of waiting until they had newer machines. So many struggles, so much fun, totally inspired me to keep building technical things. I also met my best friend to this day on this project.
