As an employee of a Nissan & VW automobile dealership, I can plainly state that the above rant is rather biased. 90% of the employees who own a car sold by our dealership drive a Nissan. 100% of the employees who qualify for a demo drive a Nissan.
Those who own a VW regret the decision, unless they of course own a Passat. Even the VW Certified Services Technicians & Advisors own Nissans. VW's are underpowered, unrelaible, junk-mobiles with lower resale values, excluding the Passat. Some domestic cars are more reliable than VW's.
After researching several Cable/DSL routers, I too decided on the Asante FriendlyNET FR3004C Router. I currently use it with MacOS 9, MacOS X, Win2000, Win98 SE, LinuxPPC Q4, RedHat 7, and Mandrake 8 PPC. I have had zero problems with it to date.
It has a built in 4 port 10/100 switch, COM port for a backup 56K modem, it sports a simple web browser based setup and it was rated as the best and the fastest router on the market.

It is simply the best cable/DSL router on the market IMHO.
i was very pleased when my linux installation asked for this: it allowed me to keep my/home partition and install the rest of the system without backup. i'm not familiar with mac, but can you do that with macos installation ?
On the Mac you would perform a "Clean Install". The clean install creates a new system folder, while keeping the old system folder, apps, and files intact.
I was getting about 40 director crashes and 15 MacOS crashes PER DAY.
I hate MacOS. Not because I'm a UNIX bigot or a PC bigot or because I'm otherwise prejudiced, but because MacOS has earned my contempt my being unstable as hell.
As a user of both MacOS and LinuxPPC, I can easily tell you that you had a hardware problem, probably some bad RAM in that Mac. The MacOS is not as unstable as you believe.
Any OS is capable of double digit daily crashes when there is a hardware failure.
