Harsh words, Mike, but in the context of a dose of reality, probably
appropriate. Something that I haven't seen mentioned in this thread,
though mentioned in many previous threads - the cost of the router
itself is only the start. The cost of bits is the real investment cost
to get anything at all out of a router. If the "break the bank" number
is $40, there's nothing left to spend on bits to even make the first
cut.
