...or at least repurposed at some point. Yes, after nearly 10 years of faithful service, my little blue Linksys WRT54G has been unplugged and replaced by the router I purchased today. The Linksys was not failing or working incorrectly - actually it's probably been the most consistent piece of computer equipment I've ever owned. But it was finally starting to show it's age - no wireless N, no guest network, no gigabit, no IPv6, and I think now that I'm pushing more bandwidth through it, it wasn't always keeping up. I'm going to bring it to mom's house and plug it in there, and it will probably run another 10 years.
Any piece of technology that lasts 10 years (and is still useful) is pretty good...Linksys WRT54G, I salute you!
