Whoops, sorry, but my other points stand on their own, my misreading
of one sentence of your post aside.

Why in the name of the Goddess would a home user who isn't serious
about networking need a gigabit router? Broadband might be getting
more common, but the pipes certainly aren't that large.

Thanks, I like to get more than one bird with one stone.

My PS2 isn't on all the time. It's a device that includes a motor for
driving rotating media, and most games these days read the disc even
when "idle" for animation or music. Leaving it on when not in use
reduces the effective lifetime of moving parts, and _that_ is being
silly.

Ignoring the "gigabit" thing, the $40 router is a solid-state device
that is _designed_ to be on 24/365. The point is hardly moot.

So how was it going to be handled? Routing takes more work than being
a client, doesn't it? Enlighten me in my ignorance.

Wow, syntax like that, and you call me ignorant? Make more of the
funny, please.

I would, if you were, but you're not, so I won't.
