No. Not true. They actually target market Mac users. My business contact at
Macwarehouse tells me that there is an incentive on commission to sell Linksys
routers. Yes, it says nothing about use for the Mac platform on the box. But
look around and do the math.

No one is being attacked. If anything it's a bit educational. People see an
ad for Linksys and think..."wow, what a pretty blue box...I'll get that one."
Not knowing that even though this router was in the Mac section of their local
Comp USA or FRY's, they will be SOL if anything happens to it. That's all I
was talking about. I *do* hate Linksys. If I would have been face to face
with the jerk tech support agent I spoke with I would have punched him in the
face repeatedly. And *yes* I have worked Tech support. For years at Bank of
America...talk about a hole. DUAL PLATFORM no less. Yes, I had an MCSE and
now an A+ cert, so I know what the heck I am talking about. There was no need
for the attitude I experienced during that call. I have been treated with a
rude tech 3 of the 4 times I have called Linksys. The 4th tech just said
"sorry" and hung up. Screw Linksys. Screw the company and all the employees.
I will shout it from a mountain top. They suck!!!!! Any company that does
business the way they do deserves to be bulldozed. So WHAT if they are a few
bucks cheaper? I also have a right to tell everyone that I know that they
suck. That is how business works. They deserve every smear that they get.
They suck.
