Getting Computers Is Hard Work

In order to get a workstation for my job at MP3.com, I had to go down and build it myself. Basically they had a G4 lying around with no RAM and no hard drive, so I scavenged 256MB RAM and got a 20GB hard drive from the tech people, and got to install Mac OS X and Mac OS 9 and some software.

And here is the fun part – I’m currently downloading at 1.5 megabytes/second from Macromedia over the MP3.com internet connection. See, I can still be amazed by little things in life. 1.5 Megs, thats like five T-1 lines! Neat.
