wdr3500 it is then!
stinking newegg... there to bloody fast!!! for combined shipping. 4 different orders through them over last few days.... and they have the stuff out and on a truck within nearly 2 hours... (tracking number ready to go and in transit). of course each package is with someone different, fedex, ups, usps, hard saying what the router going out on...
ended up getting office 365 5 pc/mac, with 5 tablet/cell phone. for one year. was cheaper, than getting a couple 2010 home/office/student licences. i was ready and lined up to get them for 30 to 40 bucks per licenses, but everyone ended up jacking up 2010 stuff, and lowering the 2013 office. not really liking the 39days and not online deal with the 365 1 year subscription. 1 laptop never really sees any action. or less another computer goes down. but.. *shrugs*
ended up getting "avg ultimate" unlimited devices / 2 year subscription. free after 50 buck rebate. 2 hours later, it went from free to 10 bucks. was just wanting another licences. but looks like all computers are getting upgraded now.
first time going with SSD (solid state hard drives), not really liking any reviews (regardless of manufacture / make / model). seem like reviews were 50/50 split of good vs a quick death. found 1 with 3 year warranty and good reviews, and went with it. for 2 desktop computers. was going to go with a 2 or 3TB hard drives. but the desktops are more document, and internet browsing. (no gaming, video), so no real need for huge hard drive. need to do some reading up for windows 8.1 and windows 7. caught something about windows 7 and turning something on (done forgot what that was) to keep SSD from a quick death. most likely will need to edit boot files. for a time lapse, so i can boot into safe mode if i ever need to.
EDIT: reminder for myself, make sure to disable any disk defragment-ers or limit when they do there thing.
was so tempted to buy a 3 to 6 disk NAS (network attached storage) box. due to so many low price NAS hard drives a few with 5 year warranties. just not enough cash to see it happen.
snatched a cheap "wifi" camera. wifi built in. no more removing the flash memory, or hooking up a cable to transfer pictures. ((have worn out a few pins, on memory cards, and tired of messing with usb cable)). hoping, i will be able to zap pictures from camera to flash drive in the router if need arises. i thought i lost on this online deal. thankfully went through. being "in proccess" for about 20 hours, had me on the edge.
