Advantages: Easy to install and use Disadvantages: no major disadvantages found
Just before Christmas one of my customers rang me up with a problem which he hoped I could solve for him.
A couple of months earlier I have installed a wireless network for him. His home office was in an extension to the main house and he had two computers on desks about ten feet apart.
The network I installed was very simple, I replaced his existing ADSL modem with a Belkin Wireless G Router/Modem which I connected via CAT5 cable to the network port on his PC - the router/modem sat comfortably on a shelf next to his desk.
I set up a Security Key for the network to ensure that no-one within range of the network would be able to access it without authorisation.

The Warranty:
Now here is what I really love! We've already had two mishaps with this computer (husband is bad to drop or spill), and it was repaired quickly in our home at no cost to us. The first problem took about a week for someone to come fix because a part was not in, and the second took about 5 days -- but we reported it just before the weekend, and when someone came out after 4 days a second problem had developed from the spill, so someone else had to come with a second part the next day.
The 4 years ...
Advantages: You will eventually get to give the whole of your house a thorough spring clean. Disadvantages: You'll have to stand some awful music which you won't be able to get out of your mind!
If your house is too small you?ve got three choices. You can put up with it, which can make you feel virtuous and long-suffering but gets on everyone?s nerves eventually. You can move to a larger house, with all the associated upheaval or you can enlarge your own.
Extending your own house might seem like the easiest and simplest method but there?s still a great deal to think about and very careful planning will be needed if it?s going to go smoothly.
The first thing to do is get a large file ? you?re going to collect vast amounts of paperwork and it?s useful to have it all to hand preferably in an easily-transportable form. I have some blank sheets of paper in the front of mine so that I can make a note of any queries that I?ve got and then cross them off when they?re cleared.
When you start thinking about an extension try ...
