During this week’s episode of The Tech Night Owl LIVE, my friend Adam Engst, a noted Mac author and editor, was talking with me about the fact that Internet connections on the Mac generally work perfect out of the box, as it were.
Except when they don’t.
You have undoubtedly come across such situations. Say you are trying to connect wirelessly to the Internet using your Mac’s AirPort card. Most times, it works just fine. Sometimes, it just won’t make the connection. Try and try again, and it still fails.
Now Adam spoke of one such instance during the interview on the show, where he had to connect his Mac via FireWire, using TCP, to another Mac to share a connection and get online. His conclusion about such matters: ”There’s a certain amount of chaos in the universe that we’re never gonna be able to break free of.”
Now I am not talking here about paranormal phenomena or the other weird stuff we cover in detail on our other radio show, The Paracast. Instead, I’m talking about the trials and tribulations we all encounter on a regular basis with all sorts of electronic gear.
