Right, but if they have one computer hooked up directly to the cable
modem, they'll still need a router or hub and some configuration to hook
up multiple machines, won't they? Maybe we could offer that service (at
a suitable fee, of course)?
I agree that we should ask, though -- maybe Dave H can add that to the
information collected whenever people sign up their kids to the waiting
list?

Are you kidding? Compared to the crapshoot of "can we find Win98
drivers for ... [NIC, sound, modem, graphics, etc] this is a walk in the
park. Well, maybe a stumble through a dodgy neighborhood sometimes, but
you know what I mean!
Oh, and I assume everyone's heard the news, that Win98 and Win ME are
officially no longer supported by Microsoft as of this past Tuesday?
