That friendly green one-touch button on the Linksys is a brilliant marketing move. <g> Yes, it is. I fell for it. When I finally threw my hands up I called their excellent tech support people who told me my first mistake was to have loaded the software on their enclosed disk and followed the instructions. <g> I must say that they have excellent tech support people, though. They walked me through the on-line configuration. If only I had known to start there rather than fool around with their silly button and their silly disk and their silly instructions.

Just curious, why are you considering a Mac? Several reasons. The prime one is the timing: my study computer is beginning to make ominous wheezing noises. And I've had it more years than I can count. As for moving to the Mac, I much prefer the Mac interface. I felt I could learn the innards of the Mac and did; whereas, from the moment I switched to Windows, I've felt alienated from my computer. I suspect that sounds strange, but there it is. Working on a Windows machine has always just been that; working on a Mac always had a distinct aura, much like listening to music on a first rate audio system. And, one of the reasons I switched from Macs to Windows was Apple's bad business performance. It looked as if it was not only in a niche market, the market was shrinking. Quickly. Now that is obviously not the case.
