That $150 +gst would buy me a tire, or gas, or beer, or registration or something important. The linux router is made out of old hardware that would otherwise be in the tip and some free software. And bugger all time.

And that, my friends, sums it up exactly.

If I have the nous, parts and time to create something for free that will do what I need then I'll do it.

It seems like the old "build anything from number 8 wire" ethos is slowly dying in this country.

Burt Munro and John Britten should be rolling in their graves.
