Countless hours wasted playing that game. "Oh no, I need at least fifteen units of fuel left over so I can TransWarp back to the spaceport! If I don't someone will come along and blow up my ship while I'm gone!" There was Corbomite, of course, but it was a Catch-22: while you were just starting, you needed it but couldn't afford it; when you were wealthy, you could afford it but you didn't want to blow up your ship. And I never managed to have enough firepower to ignore the Ferrengi (yes, big plagiarism and possible StarTrek lawsuit) when they would attack me and board my ship. ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

Well, I just swapped it out for the SMC router. Its a PalmRouter PR-100, made by Xsense. I picked it up a few years ago for $50. 4 ports plus the uplink port, though my current flaky version only has two working ports. It still has a built-in firewall and a DMZ option (though with only two ports thats not as handy). > I've also not seen an SMC 3-port router. MicroCenter had them on sale recently. $29 for a refurbished 3-port SMC wireless router (wireless plus a switch with 3 regular Ethernet ports). Its the refurbished part which is why you may not have heard of them (I'm thinking some "special use" router which was refurbished and then sold in the general market). ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
