It is easy to play with words and confuse with what one sees vs reality. My question to you is .. Have you seen a cow being killed and steak being cut ? Have you seen sausage being made ?
Mfg is not a 'one time' process, and yes creative techniques are used in first run production of small batches. (That should answer your HotGlue concern.... no hot glue is there in the units I have opened up after the initial ones) Now in regards to USB.. to each your own.. I see it no different than any other way of connecting stuff together.. as long as it works and works well so what ! :) Faisal Imtiaz Snappy Internet & Telecom http://www.snappytelecom.net Tel: 305 663 5518 x 232 Help-desk: (305)663-5518 Option 2 or Email: [email protected] > From: "Eric Kuhnke" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2017 12:35:43 PM > Subject: Re: [AFMUG] 11 mile 11ghz gigabitish > What, you mean you don't want to build carrier-grade five nines infrastructure > out of USB dongles held in place with a hot-glue gun? > On Wed, Nov 29, 2017 at 6:48 AM, Adam Moffett < [email protected] > wrote: >> I've been scared of IgniteNet MetroLinq ever since I saw the pictures of its >> insides. >> ------ Original Message ------ >> From: "Mathew Howard" < [email protected] > >> To: "af" < [email protected] > >> Sent: 11/28/2017 9:00:38 PM >> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] 11 mile 11ghz gigabitish >>> Well, yeah, it depends what all he ends up feeding with it.
