As long as you don't need their support, you're fine. But if you ever need to call them and tell them that you're using it with a Macintosh, they will almost hang up on you. FYI, Over the period of two years, I had 2 Linksys cable/dsl routers. Both stopped functioning without any apparent reasons. Right after the warranty ended up. I decided to go with D-Link and so far, after a little bit over a year, it's still running fine. They were all Ethernet routers, not wireless, though.

The correct, _original_ Murphy's Law reads: "If there are two or more ways to do something, and one of those ways can result in a catastrophe, then someone will do it." This is a principle of defensive design, cited here because it is usually given in mutant forms less descriptive of the challenges of design for lusers. Edward A. Murphy, Jr. was one of the engineers on the rocket-sled experiments that were done by the U.S. Air Force in 1949 to test human acceleration tolerances. One experiment involved a set of 16 accelerometers mounted to different parts of the subject's body. There were two ways each sensor could be glued to its mount, and somebody methodically installed all 16 the wrong way around. Murphy then made the original form of his pronouncement, which the test subject quoted at a news conference a few days later. Before too many years had gone by variants had passed into the popular imagination, changing as they went. Most of these are variants on "Anything that can go wrong, will"; this is correctly referred to as Finagle's Law. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
