    I bought a 25-foot ethernet cable at Wally World the other day.

    It stretches all the way to the toilet.

    I hang my head in shame.

    Save up for a wireless card and you'll be able to journey all the way to the kitchen without risking clotheslining the dog when Rover goes running toward his food dish.

    That's the reason I got a wireless router. Surfing the net while doing my do is the greatest.

    Did you rip a sportswriter online, vowing to never read his stuff again before doing a clever play-on-words with the name of the paper (Podunk Urinal instead of Podunk Journal! Get it?)

    25-foot Ethernet cord is nothing. Got a 50-footer that I use if my wireless router gives me trouble.

    Y'know, Bat ... I also have a roll of Ethernet cable, box of Ethernet connecters and crimping tools. How long a cable you need? Wanna browse from the backyard? :D

    I've got the wireless router but couldn't imagine taking the computer to the can. One of the last places I have time to read the backlog of newspapers and magazines in my house. I feel the same way about Internet possibly making it to airplanes someday -- no thanks. I stash things I want to read for weeks in advance of a long flight.
