Crikey, I appear to have not only discovered the 'Coax Appreciation Society', but have them terribly as well. Definitely a slow day. The original point was 'stuff that used to plug into your PC but is now considered old crap except by one or two diehards', in case anyone has forgotten. I note that no-one actually disagrees with me. BTW, someone go and berate Sean for getting the grade of coax used by thick ethernet wrong. Then you can berate me again for agreeing with him. In my defence, I point out I've never actually used it, so what Sean said sounded right (well, I knew RG-58 was right). I've got a box of RG-58, anyone in the C.A.S. want it?
