So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Nah, I'm on a holy crusade to rid myself of all CRTs. So far, I've conquered the study, but convincing the BF to give up having a TV until we can afford a plasma isn't really getting very far.

Paul is unwilling to rid himself of our CRT, as anything we could in theory afford that isn't a CRT simply isn't up to his standards.

This, it turns out, is the downside to living with someone in the profession.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

ND could obviously save himself a whole lot of money in postage

Which he could then put towards a prescription for Viagra. Everybody wins!

I'm that way with my Studio stuff. Very picky about gear. In my living room, NSM. I'd rather spend my money on my studio.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hey, Steph, I have that Belkin. I can't offer anything other than my own experience, but it's worked flawlessly for me (albeit on a PC setup instead).

I've got a Linksys and a D-Link, and an Airport that all work great with both my Macs and PC's.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It just gets worse....

Microsoft security researchers are warning about a new generation of powerful system monitoring programs, or "rootkits," that are almost impossible to detect using current security products and that could pose a serious risk to corporations and individuals.

...

...kernel rootkits, which modify the kernel, or core request processing, component of an operating system, are becoming more common. Rootkit authors are also making huge strides in their ability to hide their creations, said Danseglio.

In particular, some newer rootkits are able to intercept queries or "system calls" that are passed to the kernel and filter out queries generated by the rootkit software. The result is that typical signs that a program is running, such as an executable file name, a named process that uses some of the computer's memory, or configuration settings in the operating system's registry, are invisible to administrators and to detection tools, said Danseglio.

Steph, mine is a 3COM, but I use at other places several Linksys units with no issues. Belkin certainly has been around long enough to give me confidence in their name. In short, probably any of the ones you are looking at should work for you. And YaY for wireless.
