RE: [T3] was: Are type 3 owners more mature? Now: Female T3ers

I'm a step ahead of you Bryan. I've already started wiring my garage with Cat-5 so that I can connect the network hub in my office to an old PC in the garage for surfing the net hi-speed (for searching the archives and parts hunting while I'm working on the car of course).

I've already added my first workbench and my first wall of pegboard for organizing (I much prefer to hang most of my tools than to store them away).  Lots more to do though...
