Yeah, the broadband device is something called an "I-Opener" or something. I hear it goes for $99 plus the cost of a $45 USB ethernet hookup. Watching NPLI bumble around is beginning to be like watching the Three Stooges on late night television. What a comedy of errors. I mean yipes, do they ever come close to thinking about doing something before just posting stuff on the web??
Whoa - it can do THAT?! Cool, why didn't we think of...uhhhh, okay we'll give some away to get free development labor, oh wait, uhh, yeah! We'll make it "broadband"...whatever that is, but people keep mentioning it so lets find out! Yeah, good! Hey! Maybe we can use that free developer manpower to give us all the answers! Yeah, that's it! But wait, can't have those nasty free develop-errr I mean nasty hackers getting anything out of this deal, so lets get the glue guns fired up and f--- with the IDE header! That'll put a stop to that free resear-err hacking. Oh, and did we mention it's maybe illegal? Ok, ok so it isn't...but it violates our TOS!! What TOS?? Oh, uhhhh <--post--> that one!!! We're leasing it? I thought we were selling it...huh....oh...uh yeah, we're uh leasing it and you owe us $500 because. Hey, it's right there in plain legalese! We paid somebody a good few hundred bucks to write that up overnight so it MUST be right, as are we! Droool......
