Ok, so my router is cool, I can do a whole lot with it, I haven’t really had a ton of time to play with it, but I will eventually….

I found out something rather interesting today, Apple announced the IPOD Nano, it’s the size of pencil, and on apple.com, the ipod mini isn’t on apple.com anymore, and It’s no longer available from apple. There is also a limited time offer for a Harry Potter Ipod… I’d like to get one, but I don’t have 548.00 for it and the books. And, I already own all of the audio books.

Harry Potter Ipod

There’s also a new Itunes phone exclusively at cingular… I could buy one, but I don’t have another $249.00 to spend on that, so forget that idea (for now)

My new router should be here tomorrow by 10:30 am… I paid for the overnight shipping by 10:30 am… so I hope it’s here earlier so I can have some time to play with it and set it up so I can access it from school… we’ll see… I’ll let everybody know more tomorrow..

I’ve purchased some cisco equipment… well I borrowed the money from my brother, but the Cisco Router with Wireless has been ordered. It’ll take 3 – 6 days, and it’s being overnighted by 10:30 am. which is cool….

So my brother wanted to build a computer… no problem…. got everything, brought it home, tried to boot it up… no dice… kept trying different things… all comes down to a bent pin on the processor, so now he has to go and buy another one tomorrow… which of course sucks… but oh well…

which cisco equipment to purchase… still unsure…. any thoughts, anybody…?

The headphones I bought less than a month ago are broken now. they snapped and won’t go back together… damn headphones. Why do the cheap headphones always last longer?

Ok, I’m contemplating which one of the following I should buy
The Cisco 1811 security router, with wireless and a built in switch

or these
Cisco 851 router (no wireless)

Cisco 2950 switch (second one from the top)

I want to know which one people think I should get.

I don’t know how well this CCNA class is going to go… I can’t finish the quizzes early, they have to be taken during class… which is sort of a pain. I was sort of looking forward to finishing the class a little early and being able to start the next one to get most of my work done before the end of the semester so I could take my CCNA ICND certification exam early, like before christmas. we’ll see maybe I still can….
