| a lot of people seem to like.

| regular Buy.com checkout. Also, the default shipping is $6, but if
| you pull down that menu, you'll see a free shipping option. It says
| 7-9 days, but I ordered mine Monday, and FedEx says it's scheduled
| to be delivered Friday. Of course, if ordering today, it might take
| longer because of Christmas.
|
| I have mixed feelings about Google Checkout. The advantage, other
| than the discount on this router, is that they handle the payment,
| so buy.com doesn't see my credit card. The disadvantage is giving
| personal information to Google - that part makes me a bit queasy.
