I got a new router and router table last month. I made two beautiful picture frames and trim for four bookcases on it. I don't know what a router has to do with computing, but it's your money to spend as you wish.

My dad had a Cadillac. I hope your new computer will be more dependable than his Caddy was. I know what people here are talking about. His electric Windows stopped working and we had a hard time seeing the passing Vista for all the smog in LA. Your new Cadillac will probably work better in Texas. At least I hope so.

Oh, and congratulations. May you have many happy years of use out of it.

P.S. My other router is a Linksys. It's been totally dependable for the past three years, is fast and completely transparent, was inexpensive, and was very easy to set up. We run two computers and a laptop off of it. Be aware that immediate neighbors can run their computers on your network if they have a WAN card. That doesn't bother me since I don't pass tax info or credit card numbers etc. on the network, but it's something for you to be aware of. You can run password protection and encryption, but that slows the network down.
