What about firmware updates? I keep an ol' win box
around just for those (AST (long gone) with 16 Megs of
Ram - parts almost from the stone age, if available).

A Netgear router had at least five updates. 
Does Cisco give rebates or other compensation?

By the way, have you heard of a Mac-capable X-10
interface? Apparently there is a way (and free SW) to
use those with Macs. I saw a thread of the NGs, and
versiontracker has the SW.
