Back in the day, I knew jack squat about networking and routers. Now, I’m a convert and I blame it on the lady boss who’s been to 7 countries since January 2009 — and all while running a business! She’s now in NYC, channeling Carrie and checking out the SoHo scene so she can absorb some artsiness in her pores.
But I digress. I still don’t do tech speak and probably never will. But now that I understand enough about the gizmos we need to keep making PhP scripts, I actually check out online sales to peek at gadgets we could buy for a skip and a song. I stumbled onto this sale recently
My drawers got all bunched up when I saw this DP-301U Print Server. I drooled when I saw it. You see, we need a new one (the mice at the old place chewed on the old one) and the cheapest that we found in brick and mortar stores costs a whooping three grand! Can you imagine how cheap this baby is? Even with conversion factored in, it’s way cheaper than the ones we’ve been eyeing! So what if it isn’t a wireless server? I don’t need it to be because we’ve wireless access to our network. We’ve always been fans of D-Link because they’re much, much better than Netgear. Our old D-Link unit (which also happens to be an older model) serviced 3 laptops and 2 desktops yet ran like a dream!
So yes, I’m thinking of getting this baby and I just might tonight (I read that they deliver pretty fast, too!) if the hub doesn’t stop me. Oh online shopping, you just made my day!
