Network Code

Currently, I'm learning how to write networking code. It's an interesting subject, actually. I'm learning a whole lot about how sockets and packets work, which may sound boring, but when you hook two computers up over a serial connection and get a program working that can transfer numbers and letters, similar to a chat program, it's breathtaking! When I saw the two computers transfering information, it blew my mind. On my laptop, I monitored the flow of packets while my other PC sent and received them. Everything is working properly, the right amount of packets are being transfered and none are lost. This must have been what it felt like for the guy who invented the Internet! Or maybe I'm just a technogeek. :P
