Found this site a month or so ago and thought it would be great to try multiboxing.
So I read as many posts as i could - stickies and guides especially. Browsed over to the wiki and read some more and on saturday morning set it all up. I used vista's symbolic links to copy the wow folder and installed the incredibly wonderful keyclone which is amazing.
All I can say is - I am now totally hooked. I had ordered a quad core machine that I hope to setup so I can eventually 5 box,but that hadn't arrived so i decided to try it out with just two characters, and my two draenei shaman were born. (this is running on an athlon laptop, with 2 gig of ram and a low level nvidia). It runs wow at rubbish frame rates in full screen mode so I run wow in a window, yet this device was able to run two instances of wow, no problem. I was going to retire this laptop when the Quad arrived but may now use it to control two of my chars.
Total time to setup was less than half an hour.
Minor annoyances (which will get expanded when I five box) are looting. I've seen the looting solution and it seems a pain to setup but will try it. I also wonder if there is some way to turn on master loot even for greys :) and just assign the items. Probably not.
Unfortunately my draenei shamans are going to die. I'm a horde man at heart - and my 70 lock, 70 hunter and 66 shaman won't be able to offer boosts through instances for my draenei shaman, so it looks like I'm either going to start some more orc shamans or perhaps a mix of orc and troll (they have the same starting area).
So, a rambling, unfocused post to introduce my self to the community - and a big thankyou for the help and sheer volume of information this site has already provided. (And one big final congratulations to the author of keyclone for a superb piece of software that has made life sooo much easier).
Oh, two final thankyous. One to veronika for her wonderful magisters terrace (heroic) video. I particularly liked the foolish shammy who decided to take all five of you on before you had even entered the instance, and one to the author of the video (I forgot your username so apologies) for your wonderful mechanar totem farming video. I learnt so much just from watching that.
