Out of the box of amazing and wonderful stories, I bring you the Orange ADSL guide to Internet.

1. Get the box from the deliverer and don't forget to sign for it
2. unpack and check if you everything you need
3. take the 88 paged guide and start reading
4. Follow everything as you always do
5. You do this of course a few days before the KPN arrives, just to see if it works.
6. A very detailed guide helps you through the process of putting the right cables in the right socket and connecting it safely to the powersupplywholethingy in the wall
7. After you connected it to the phoneline (which should not be working) you start wondering but you cannot get your eyes of the manual. Of course you keep on reading...
8. You get to the chapter of connecting your computer to the livebox, now it really gets exciting
9. You look at the chapters; Windows and Mac, where is linux?
10. Of course we have linux so we go to the Mac part and see what is says. Make sure your computer receives IP information via DHCP and has a browser to go to http://192.168.1.1/
11. We are still curious and take a quick peak at the windows part.
    1. get the CD-rom
    2. if it doesn't start automaticly do this and that
    3. follow the guide and select your connection method via the graphical user interface
    4. do some more clicks
    5. end up at the doctor with RSI...
12. You'll need the mail with the username and password. After hours of searching you find it and get back to your computer.
13. You connect the LAN cable and you find out you don't need the username and password. You are already connected to the Internet...

Questions of today...

1. Am I so good??? Sounds like the Mars commercial
2. Is this some kind of a hack?
3. Was Orange so nice to pre-program this for me?
4. Outdated guide, what a lazy bastards
