    I was in the computer store the other day and two gals
    were in there buying a bunch of modems for their company.
    And they wanted to buy the   "win" modems (RPI Modems)
    and I couldnt convence them they were JUNK...

    oh my.... well live and learn...
    I dont believe in the old adage "You get what you pay for"
    cause if it were true... Business would NOT exist..
    Peace!
