Nope, I have this "Welcome Days" a week before class actually starts. Like you guys said, I'm just going to get my laptop with a 10/100/1000 Ethernet card and then wait. I'll have wireless access so I'm not going to die if I...

I don't think you would seen a noticeable difference between 2.0 and 1.86.
