John,

What are you talking about!!! One of the reason I buy aPPOs over aBs is
because of flexibility. Needs change. I set up wireless bridge, then
someone asked me if they could link up to my Internet connection. I was
able to get them hooked up BECAUSE I built flexibility into the system.

The point is, if you ARE going to offer a "one size fits all" device,
then the configuration should be set up as such.

You are awful quick to insult us by saying we haven't thought out our
system. I think you are dead wrong here.

Jason
