I'll chain myself to Cisco before buying Apple hardware again.
Look at the feature(s):
"With AirPort Express connected to your DSL or cable modem, up to 10
users at a time can surf the web, send email, annihilate the
competition in multiplayer games, and much more — wire-free"
10 users? How generous. Or performant.
Plus, it has no built-in gigabit switch. I'd like to use the router
to separate the mail/web server into a real DMZ, but I still want to
access it a gigabit speed from the wired boxes - some e-mails can be
quite large, and some photos can run into tens of megabytes too.
Cheers,
florin
