    Depends on how you define the word "hammer"[/u].

    Edit: The temptation to link to a video of MC Hammer doing "Can't Touch This" was severe, but not badly enough to do that kind of rickroll.

  • Don't forget the Duct Tape!:-D

  • I thought sledgehammer, but those flying pieces of ADSL modem are dangerous. Now if you can redirect those down the block.......

    The one on the right is for configuring the equipment. The one on the left is for doing a reset.

    Configuring and Hard Reset. The Fine Tuning one seems to be missing.

    An assortment insures the right tool for the job at hand.

    Great to see you.

    Likewise. We must do this more often.

    I'm glad you got home OK. Your trip is just SO long.

    Tell me about it. That last flight (Amsterdam-JHB)felt like slow torture. Long and seriously boring (daytime flight)

    No sledgehammer, I need this modem. Sledgehammer on old wireless one once I confirm I don't have to return it.

    Config took ages cause the quick start didn't take into consideration people who are running their own DNS servers. <innocent look>

    .... a hooded apparition with glowing eyes?

    (DANG, this is a good cup of coffee this morning.)
