It's been pretty satisfying this weekend. First I adopted "Buchhki": an Acer Netbook. It's so small that all the other members in my family doubted if it can do what my old laptop did. I had to really assure them that this one does everything plus some. It even has a webcam! Of course it doesn't have a DVD player / writer; but then, can't have everything together!
Then I finally got the BSNL broadband too! Of course the line was installed a couple of weeks ago, the broadband modem given a week ago, and the password sent yesterday. True to BSNL style, I was left to figure out what to do with those, so I called the helpline. The phone helpline gave me a ticket number, and I was to wait for them to contact me to fix the problem. But in the meanwhile, I tinkered with the settings, tried a few things, and lo - it's up and running. In fact I am using the netbook to type these very words, and using the secured wireless connection that I configured to post this.

@Deeps
It's not there in my area yet. BSNL infrastructure is superb, it's just their attitude, which is still 1950s.
They called me today to fix an appointment to set up the broadband, four days after I figured out the configuration and got it working.
@Arpita
Na na... that was one off. It was left in my jeans pocket... it still works though, without a trace of problem. My old laptop screen has gone bad, so I connected it to a TFT monitor and now it is my new desktop.
@Reets

@Krishanu
Welcome. "Bohemian Rhapsody" is a 1975 rock song by a British band called Queen.
I am proud of you to have figured it out on your own, after all IBM experience kab kaam ayega... but I have the new MacBook you know. It's gorgeous. And has a DVD RW, among all the things I wanted in a smart slick device. And it's a MacBook. Ha. :P
And is Buchki like your daughter or son?
Buchki is my daughter.
Considering your cost of adoption was four to five times, DVD-RW doesn't sound too much of a value add.
