At last Dell is offering a bunch of good deals today 🙂
Today’s main deal is the Linksys WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router. This router is on sale for $49 (regular price $99).
If you have several computers at home you can easily setup a wireless home network using this router such that all your computers can simultaneously connect to the internet. Linksys is a well known networking company that develops high quality wireless routers. The Linksys WRT54GL has a very good reputation for its reliable performance and ease of use. If you don’t have a wireless network at home and have several computers (e.g. a desktop and a laptop) I strongly recommend this device.
Note for geeks: “The WRT54G is famous for being the first consumer-level network device that had its firmware source code released to satisfy the obligations of the GNU GPL. This allows programming enthusiasts to modify the firmware to change or add functionality to the device.” More details about reprogramming the WRT54G here.
Some of today’s other deals are very good as well:
– TrendNET Wireless G Advanced Pan & Tilt Camera – $149
– Logitech Premium USB Headset 350 w/Microphone – $29
– D-Link PersonalAir DBT-122 – Bluetooth Network adapter – $24
– Belkin SurgeMaster Gold 9-Outlet Surge Protector with 10 Feet Cord – $19
– MS Student 2006 w/ Encarta Premium and Learning Essentials (DVD Version) – $49
Logitech Premium USB Headset 350 w/Microphone is an awesome headset and although $29 isn’t as low as I would’ve hoped, it’s still pretty good. If you use msn Messenger, Skype or other messaging programs to voice chat with your family and friends you’ll find that this Logitech Premium USB Headset 350 will totally improve your whole voice conversation experience. The other party will hear you much better without an echo and you’ll hear them very clearly too. If you still use a separate microphone and speakers during your voice conversation I strongly recommend you buy this headset.
Encarta is too over priced. It hasn’t significantly improved over the past couple of years. I’d just stick to any old Encarta version and use it in conjunction with Wikipedia which is updated more frequently although is not as reliable as Britannica and Encarta.
Note that shipping is free.
