Oh man does this make me pissed.

That would make me pissed... how exactly does a router pass an ad to your computer?

thankfully I bought a router from a decent company...

There's a reason I don't buy Belkin products. I thought it was just because they were overpriced and sold at Circuit City, now I know there is another reason.

Plus, who would buy a router made by Belkin? I can see a printer cable, but a router?

 

[blakerwry]

I can see a printer cable

careful, it might send coupons and rebates to the printer for items you dont need nor want.

Staples routinely discounts Belkin USB cables. $29.99 cables on sale for $24.95, $24.99 cables on sale for $19.95. What a fabulous bargain!

 

[blakerwry]

i hope you are kidding

See for yourself. Since the "sale" price is 10 times the worth of the product, these items are "on sale" practically every week.

Me not quite sure how much different this is than MSN messenger that is installed with XP (regardless of ones choice not to install it or to uninstall it after installation). Please note That MSN really makes me pissed

 

[blakerwry]

come on p5, everyone knows MSN is an integral part of windows.

The most annoying thing about MSN? If you take the time to figure out how to remove it from XP, the FIRST THING that happens when you connect to the internet with MSN is that it gets downloaded and reinstalled.

 

[Mercutio]

Er, MSN Messenger, that is.

Come on P5, everyone knows MSN is an integral part of Windows.

Not on Win2K and that's why it's the last version of Windows (well, that and a few other issues like the product activation) I plan to use. Hence my annoyingly frequent questions about Linux.

I suppose Mark also uses Win2K and not WinXP.

I was being facetious... I guess I should have been more over the top.

Actually, I've never had a problem with MSN messenger... I think SP1 gives you the ability to uninstall it from add/rem programs. The binaries might be on my computer, but they never run(pretty much ditto for IE).
