Hey Gang...
FINALLY realized that I could get better internet usage out of my pre-G3
('040 and PCI) Macs by increasing data speed opposed to processor speed...
Now, I recently got my DSL service, with the cable modem and such.... now I
need to make it accessible to all my computers and printers. I thought(!)
that all I needed was a 4+ port router to connect everything via ethernet
cables... but THEN I visited Best Buy...!!
COULD SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A "ROUTER" AND A
"SWITCHER?" Are "switchers" just for wireless connections? (Would have asked
the guys at Best Buy, but COULD NOT FIND ONE(!), as they usually keep only
TWO in the department, and OF COURSE their main concern is to help the
70-year-old grandma get a 2.5Ghz, Super ALIENWARE computer so she can e-mail
her grandkids...)
...but I digress....
