Well, Uniden is a great cordless phone company, but this Woot doesn't cut it for me. One refurbished phone/answering machine for $15.99, or Two phones and one answering maching NEW for $34.99. If one is good, two are better! The Amazon deal is the one of the day, see the link atop. (Note huge savings on Amazon item)

A fairly typical Woot today, gaming accessory with a good price. Not a good enoughd eal to impulse buy if you weren't already considering buying one though. Item has decent Amazon reviews, so if you're interested, not a bad item to pick up.

Well, the price is certainly excellent. However, Zyxel is a pretty uncommon wireless brand, and who uses wireless adapters anymore? It doesn't make sense to toss one of these into your desktop when you could have a much faster wired connection coming in. Unless you like to steal the internet from your friend above you in the apartment complex, that is...
