I took the router in and showed them the Radio Shack ad. They honored the pricematch, so I was credited $22 although it has not yet been put back into my bank account. The manager on duty said that the $20 best buy rebate will no longer work, but I’m gonna send it in and try anyway. If it does not work, I still have the $10 rebate from Linksys so the total then will be 37.99 plus the tax. If I do slip the $20 rebate through the cracks then the total will only be 17.99 plus tax. Either way, I think it is a heck of a deal for a top of the line wireless G router that retails for $70 usually.

I have not had time to play with it though since I had hockey last night. I’m hoping that the install is really easy and I can get everything up and running quickly. My only fear is the wireless side of things since I’ve never messed with it before. Good thing Phil has the same exact router and runs many of the same services that I do (webserver, ftp, etc). I’m not sure I will get to it tonight either. We have a bunch of TV shows to catch up on but Kim does need to study insurance stuff. Regardless of what we do I hope to have a margarita or three tonight in celebration of freedom and liberty, which is what Cinco de Mayo is about isn’t it?
