Is Your House as Wired as Mine?

Brian just sat down at the kids computer in the living room. He remote logged into the basement computer, because you know that's REALLY far away if he had to walk down there. He started using Pandora (online customized radio) to play some tunes on the basement computer...which is hooked up to the big stereo system in the basement...which is wired to the speakers upstairs on the main floor. So now we're jammin' to some sweet tunes from the upstairs to the basement and back again and he didn't have to move an inch. Is your house as wired as mine?
