I have 2 pcs set up. one I use for my primary, the other I use for downloading and copying disks. I have a kvm set up, but it's hooked to a third computer for fixing, so I remote desktop the 'burner' pc for now. over a wired connection there's practically no lag. having nothing plugged into a pc but a cat5 cable and being able to run it on your screen with muse and keyboard is really slick.
I hooked up an external sata 500GB hard drive to the burner due to massive filesizes. last night I hit usenet, and when I woke up there were 30GBs of shit downloaded.
usually I can get 500KBps and I'm happy, but occassionally I'll get almost a MBps, as pictured on the right downloading an image from nasa. when I see almost 1MBps it makes me happy.
I love broadband, 500GB hard drives, and remote desktop

Remote desktop has to be the most useful thing about XP Pro. I use it on a daily basis at work. It runs way smoother than VNC, especially when I'm VPN'ed in from home, and locks the computer so everybody in the office doesn't freak out.
