Intranet? Computers have been sold with LAN cards for quite a few years now
as standard (or can be purchased even here for less than AUS$30.00) How do
you share you Internet feed between machines in the home?

I'm not sure that I'd call a simple peer to peer home LAN as an Intranet.

Nearly everyone I know here with a computer owns one of those USB memory
drive thingies - perhaps technology here is cheaper than I thought...
