I have thought about the same thing. I have had bad electricity in the office--I lost 2 ports in my router and the 2 ports in a switch connected to those ports in a lightning storm-- and have put surge protectors all over including protectors on the cable modem cable. But these others just went slowly over time. I am coming to beleive that It is probably a bad idea to connect a 10/100 computer port to a 10BT in that the 10Bt will eventually burn out the more sensitive port. But I have not scientific basis for that superstition. But I lost the 7300 slowly at home. I haven't lost anything else at home--yet. I have read on the web of others having the same symptoms in 7300s--it starts with downloads intermittently slowing down, and gets worse from there. -- -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
