Did everyone get their free computer last year? Steve, maybe they didn't want them. After all if they are free they must be very unreliable. Tim

Steve, Re: "In my observations, Intel only sells routers because they are much cheaper than the Cisco equivalent. I assume most Intel supporters agree AMD CPUs are cheaper because they are not as good as Intel processors. If we were to apply that same logic to Intel's routers, then I must assume Intel's routers are not as good as Cisco routers because of their lower price." Truthfully, I'd trust Cisco with my routers, and that's for the same reason why I'd trust Intel with my CPUs. That is, until Intel can prove that they are more trustworthy in that market. wanna_bmw P.S. On a related note, I trust Intel's ethernet cards. There's no good reason why I would trust their NICs more than I would their routers, except for their reputation, and my personal experiences with those excellent products.
