Buy Apple or cheaper stuff???


a bit of a rant...

One of the reasons I recommend the Airport stuff is the ease of configuration compared to similar products by other vendors.

I would consider myself reasonably adept at this kind of thing so find configuring Netgear devices reasonably easy, however I have had major issues with configuring D-Link and especially Buffalo devices. Don't even talk to me about Belkin....

However from a newbie's point of view these third party devices can be a real nightmare, so I think paying the extra for the ease of configuration is a price worth paying.

It sometime annoys me that after replying to a person on the Apple Discussions Forums who has specifically asked about Airport devices (or other Apple hardware) someone comes along and posts don't bother with Apple buy a third party device its cheaper... as though price is the only important factor.

If price was the only factor then no one would buy an iPod!

I remember one discussion when someone asked about Airport mentioned that money was not an issue and got loads of replies from people saying don't get Airport, buy Linksys it's cheaper!!!

Well that's my rant off my chest.
