Come on Sean, this "very few disruptions" stuff is below your usual

is to recount a few good stories about routers you could scramble eggs on.

there is a funny story of some dial devices on fire, and still passing
packets...
and an equally funny story of said devices being held up in customs in
a particular european country because they said "TNT" on the outside
of their crates...
I ordered a new personal PC back in March(?) from Lenovo (discount
overstock offering). Everything shipped immediately but was delayed in
transit, due to a "Live Entity" inspection hold placed on it by the US
FDA. The packing list included an item identified as "mouse" (it was
right under the item "keyboard"). I'm waiting for nVidia or ATI to come
out with a next-gen product named "Nuclear XForce" or "Plutonium
Wonder". :-)
