I started surfing the net four years ago and I was using some old modem then. It annoyed the %@!#$ out of me and so I got cable. After a while a got a roommate and he wanted to be on as well ... So I got myself an old computer and installed Freeso on it. Hooked up a hub and I was rolling. But the noise of the machine was agonizing. Trying to get some sleep while the hummmmm kept me awake. I was visiting one of my favorite hardware-dealers when he demonstrated to me the LinkSys Router.
