Ah, modern living...
So, thanks to modern technology, I get to listen to music.
My mac at home has many mp3s on it. It has an Airport card in it. It's also running SlimServer. Having punched a hole in the home firewall for it, I'm able to stream music from home to my desktop. Yay.
But wait, it gets better.
Due to the vagueries of A) the home wireless, B) the cable-modem connection, C) the MP3 players on my desktop machine (running Linux (FC4)) - which seem to be bad at rebuffering after network congestion - I'm actually using VMWare Workstation to run {shudder} WinXP so I can run iTunes.
Yay, geekitude.
