[TowerTalk] Vista comment and tower question.

[Bob Smith]

Hi all & Dave,

That was going to be my comment about Linksys Tech Support,  It sounds like
'smoke & mirrors' because TCP/IP is TCP/IP on a vista, win95, DOS 6.0 
or WinXP computer,
there is no difference between the boxes, it's all IP 
networking.   I've got to the
point on linksys tech support that I call linksys in So Cal for 
replacement of units
and bypass their 'third world tech support' people because they are 
just reading from
scripts about problems, not diagnosing the problem at hand.

UPDATE:  The Linksys had a bad port.  The Linksys customer service reps
were either idiots or just using the VISTA smoke to push product sales.
