Tell that to the hundreds of Sales men and Office workers, all of which I set up their boxes. Not to even list all the times I told them how to set up their private home networks with wireless (set up like work, so I don't have to play with any settings). I think what most people forget is that most computers sold are NOT to private people but to business and those folks almost never set up their own. > People buy computers and set them up themselves these > days, for better or for worse. (and promptly corner me at work and ask me how to set up the wireless so their work laptop will work at home). Just my experience, that is no guarantee of truth but only what I have found. Your experience could be different. > > Nate -- Damon L. Chesser [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
