Google to offer free email with 1GB storage

black sheep router port doesn't want to play with the others

i have a wireless router that i am using like a hub, so ports are not an issue. but i'm upset. i 've never had any problems with smc before. and to just have a single port go out like that seems a little screwy. i wonder if it is covered by warranty. thanks for your response

HOT: Legit Dress Shirts < $10 shipped from Amazon

most anything will shrink if you dry it at too high a temperaturer. wash in warm water, dry normally and take care of it and cotton will last. just like any fiber.

for $10 it might not matter, but most of the shirts are poly/cotton blends. pure cotton will last longer and wear better. that's part of why they are so cheap.
