Urk! I have used Linksys stuff since we got DSL years ago. It was the first piece of addon computer equipment I got to work right out of the box. My first wireless router gave up the ghost after a couple of years but the second just keeps on working. The only problem I have is the need to power it down to clear conflicts with the other computers on my home network. At times we have had 4 desk and laptops working simultaneously. I hope the next replacement will be of upgraded quality to go with the Cisco name?
Urk! Again. I used the thunderbird help pages to recover from a netscape screwup that lost connection to my saved mail. My fault, but thunderbird saved the day and helped me escape the wrath of my wife. Thanks thunderbird.
great list. thanks. i’ve tried my hand at hunting down the fighter jet.
