Prelude
And now . . . the rest of the sto-
ry! I’m back to my old tricks with Part
3 of my 3-part D-Link DVC-1000 &
DVC-1100 VideoPhone reviews - i.e.,
now the “Wireless” side. And with that,
it seems we’re going to end up with a 4
th
Part Review, i.e., one (1) more on the
wireless side. They say that the road to
Hades is paved with good intentions.
As I mentioned in Part 1, “I [had] fully
intended for this to be only a 2-for-the
price-of-one review sandwiched in be-
tween my on-going/never-ending/life
and death battles with all my ‘rotten-
to-the core’ computers.”
Oh yes! Do please see Parts 1 &
2 in the July 2007 BCM archives (at
www.ucs.org). Also, may I respectfully
suggest you always select the .pdf ver-
sions for their artistic beauty.
