Ode to an Ethernet Port

[gingi0]

There it is, quaintly situated on my Powerbook between the FireWire port and the S-Video port. Normally, it just chugs along, shuttling several million packets of data back and forth every minute. Business as usual. But until yesterday I just took my beloved ethernet port for granted. In fact, I really haven't used it that much in the past year.

the liquid probably bridged a few circuits and freaked the PB out for a while. Then, once it dried, it all started working again.

You should ask Matt about the time that he dropped his cellphone in the toilet, only to have it start working again a few days later.

What he was doing on his phone in the bathroom, I'll never know. I just hope he wasn't talking to someone.

You had me at "I plugged in the other Powerbook."
