The Teddy Borg is Alive!

It might look like an innocent teddy bear, but behind the soft exterior lurks a GigaFast 5-port 10/100 ethernet switch."

    A wireless switch? Duh. You know that a hub isn't a switch, right? Well, that's because the signal is "broadcast" through the ports. Well, with wireless, it is literally broadcast. It uses collision detection schemes. Wireless, by it's very nature, can never be "switched".

    Besides, you should be shot for suggesting that we embrace the fashion computer movement.

    Dude, that ain't real. Furbies don't have FDDI
    interfaces, and it would cost more to add an FDDI
    interface to a furby than the furby would cost.
