silicon pop culture!

Not sure if you guys can find anything you want, but I picked up a KVM and a few other things.

Belkin.com coupon code 12345 will give you 50% off your entire order.

I guess no one else caught Drachen’s joke about Mel Brook’s Spaceballs…LOL

On the serious side though, it appears I cannot order directly off the Belkin website.  How do I get the discount?  Will the resellers honor the discount?  Finally, I just got my TR, so I need a whole heap of stuff…Micro Mouse, Access point (g), BT adapter, auto charger, etc.  Which products from Belkin should I embrace and which should I ignore?

Why can’t you order directly from Belkin?
I doubt any resellers would honor the coupon.

For some odd reason my initial visit to the site never lead me to any pages where I could add to the cart…now they are everywhere!  I know my eyes work pretty good, but I could not order directly from that site on my initial visit.  Very strange. :?  My last question still stands.  Which products from Belkin should I embrace / ignore.  Does anyone have (good or bad) feedback with their stuff?

I’ve always heard that their KVMs are one of the best on the market…I know their USB hubs are widely used as well. I have both currently {several hubs} and have no issues. I ordered another KVM because mine works so well.

For us ignorant few, what is a kvm?

A KVM lets you switch between two (or more) computers using just one Keyboard, Video (monitor),and Mouse for all systems.

I have no problem with their hubs and switches, but I hope their KVMs have improved since I last used them. I’ve got an old PS/2 OmniView on my desk that will randomly decide to kill the mouse when I switch desktops. (Thank god for remote desktop so I don’t have to futz with it much anymore) Then there was the joy of the 2 8-port daisy chained KVMs our sysadmin got. They were buggy with mice too. We have several Novell servers that don’t use them, so the NT servers’ mice ‘died’ pretty often when switching. The fact that nobody’s back there unless a machine has problems makes it worse.  :? The real fun was getting an additional KVM to daisy-chain when we ran out of ports. The newer model wasn’t compatable with the older ones, so instead of buying new KVMs, he just put a second monitor and keyboard/mouse back there. 

Thanks for the feedback folks…I love this place!  :D

I just bought a Nostromo last week.  Ethics, laziness, and not wanting to wait on shipping to replace the thing is fighting against the $15 difference…
