In addition, this router includes four Ethernet ports ready for you to connect Ethernet-enabled PCs, print servers and other devices. * Maximum wireless signal rate based on IEEE 802.11g standard and 802.11n specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental factors will adversely affect wireless signal range.

Some interesting books...all technology based :-)

Theres a bunch of new eBooks out - I've got some of them listed here...
These are from Pearson Education













Enjoy :-)

"The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it."
- Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

Ain't it the Truth...

A jobless man applied for the position of office boy at Microsoft.



The HR manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.


"You are employed, he said. Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.


The man replied "But I don't have a computer, neither an email. I'm sorry", said the HR manager, "If you don't have an email, that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist, cannot have the job."






The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only $10 in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10Kg tomato crate. He then sold the tomatoes in a door to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with $60.






The man realised that he can survive by this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled everyday.






Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck; then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the United States. He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him his email address.






The man replied, "I don't have an email address." The broker answered curiously, "You don't have an email address, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an email address?!!






The man thought for a while and replied, "Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!"






Moral of the story:


M1- Internet/email address is not the solution to your life.


M2- If you don't have internet / e-mail address, and work hard, you can be a millionaire.


M3 -If you received this message by email, you are probably already an office boy/girl, and not any close to being a Billionaire ... Have a great day !!!


P.S Don't send this email back to me, I am closing my email & going to sell tomatoes!!
