    Suggestions for hooking up cable internet. Part II

    I have a 3Com 3CRWE554G72T. I believe it encompases all your needs and is fairly easy to setup too. I wanted to steer clear of the Dlink Netgear Linksys fiasco and couldn't be happier. http://www.3com.com/products/en_US/detail.jsp?tab=features&pathtype=purchase&sku=3CRWE554G72T

    The imagine 128 was $2000 originally? Damn I just gave a couple away last year. Would have framed it or something if I knew it was that special.

    HARDWARE: Matrox *1-Lane* PCI Express Graphics

    I was recently forced to buy a USB keyboard as my new KVM doesn't suport the PS/2 thing. Not really happy, I liked my IBM cliky keyboard. Ultimately moving to these universal standards is a good thing though for flexability. I am thinking USB is going to be here for a long time, maybe longer...

    What is it with these guys?

    I smile every time I set up my Color Laserjet 5 on a computer, no drivers at all, and it's on the network. It's an old tank the just won't die.

    It's 2005, why do things still not do WPA?

    Just got verizon and they have a nice little app on an install CD that sets up their wireless/firewall/DSL modem for you. Super easy but doesn't set up any security except for turning on the firewall. Thus I can see NINE other networks in my complex that are wide open. Not that I am complaining...

    Mini-Rant: Label Ergonomics

    I remember someone used to do that, was it IBM? They probablly figure it's better to save a couple cents and remove a label.

    Life Sucks...

    I specifically called to limit my credit card to $3500 a month. I can't think of a reason to have any more than that without getting behind in payments. One of few people that pays off the credit card every month, I am sure capitol one hates me as they don't make much money off me at all.

    DVD+R DL

    Gigabit ethernet on laptop

    On my laptop there is a power saving function that disables the gigabit port when you are not using the laptop and requires that there be a management app installed to turn it on all the time. Try plugging it in and shutting down then powering on the computer with the ethernet plugged in.

    Quick Question Please !!! Win2000 Pro VLK

    I received this VLK (volume license) version of Win2000 Pro to install on a customers site and I did not receive a COA (certificate of authenticity) that commonly has the install key on it. Does the Win2000 VLK need an install key from a COA? Sorry, not really familiar with the 2000 VLK install.

    I went back one driver revision to what was shipped on the CD for it and I have been enjoying it also. I did notice that in some instances it has been bass heavy like the avs forums noted. I havn't used the digital out to the stereo yet, waiting till I move and turn this machine into a HTPC.

    What anti-spyware anti-adware combos do you use nowadays?

    Apple & Intel

    Having a fixed platform is a big plus for software development, they won't have to cover as much ground. I don't see apple getting out of the whole box attitude and going to being an OS suplier only, which is what would happen if they released an OS that anyone could use on a PC.

    Apple & Intel

    I would really like that too. Unfortunately I am pretty certain that if they did move to Intel it would be something like the XBox turned out to be: somewhat proprietary / unable to use the OS on other machines.

    UPS Question

    Liebert all the way, course I work for them..... Look for something used that is a true on line UPS (inverter always powering the load). Rough recommendation on UPS's are that the batteries should be replaced every five years if you want to depend on it.
