[b1nary g0d]

i have a few 10/100 hubs laying about oddly enough...so he could be using a

hes using a P4 i think he is using hardware from 02 era or earlier....so its
definitly plausible...n then it wouldnt matter how good his router is...few
people on youtube and the fileserver..and the network would tank
