Seriously. Why? Granted, this purchase was made several years ago. The Belkin Nostromo n45 was a bit of a let down for me. At the time I was pretty comfortable with the PS2 controller setup. This game controller was supposed to let me play Gothic 3 without having to get used to the keyboard/mouse combo like most PC gamers. It didn't succeed.
For a while there I thought I could make it with just a cell phone. Once our baby arrived, we started considering a land line in case of emergency or as at least a backup to our cell phones in case the battery dies or its left somewhere. We looked at a few of our alternatives and decide to try out the MagicJack USB Voip solution.
The magicJack is a USB device that you connect a phone line into so that you can make calls using VOIP technologies. Its a small device and setup was quite simple. Unfortunately, the magic jack was a purchase that I should have passed on.
I've had a hankering for a miniPC for a while now. So when the wife started complaining her XP box was running a little slow (8yrs old), I took it as the perfect opportunity to try a miniPC.
