    You know what's disappointing?

    It's that you have a low userid which implies you've been on /. for a while.

    Also implied is that you are a candidate for "news for nerds, stuff that matters."

    Your point about inflation is correct and you missed a major point about how people are populating the shit out of coastal and other prime real estate acreage.

    Your last sentence.

    That's what's disappointing.

    And, because you've been around so long, I won't waste your time and mine pointing out your error.

    When I entered the username, "mydlinkBRionyg" (without the quotes), the text box had an "X" in it, saying, "Only administrator users are allowed."

    I checked the firmware version and it does have the latest (2.30.172).

    I do not allow access from outside the local LAN and I have to log in as Admin and enable "Share" in order to map a drive.

    I leave Share activated only during the short period of time that it takes to copy files to/from the divice and then I disable Share again.
