Panther amazes me and makes me happy, which is good, because I've been laid over at the Rockford Airport for 7 hours now.

I finally got the poor guy to get my bag unchecked, so I could get my SprinPCS Merlin card out to check how much hate mail I've gotten today. (Answer: 23 hate mails).

Anyways, another mac user was there (my mom) who did not have a Merlin card. Without even knowing if it was possible, I told my Mac to "Create Network", which hooked up our computers locally. Then, I thought about how to "Share" my "Internet" connection. I emphasize those words, as that's all you really have to do: Go to the Sharing network preference, click the Internet tab (or block?), pick the Merlin card, check the Airport and I'll be damned.... Works like a champ.

A very slow, cell-phone based, champ.
