At about midnight, I got fed up, disconnected the base station and restored the ethernet connection to my old computer.<\/p>\n
With any luck, I’ll have time to call Apple after work tomorrow (but before my Post-Mortem meeting in Brooklyn tomorrow night) and find out how the hell I screwed this “simple” procedure up.<\/p>\n
