Thank You Captain Obvious

One for the “duh!” category…

While researching wireless router+modem “all-in-one” units I emailed a question to a retailer regarding the NetGear DG834G. In short, I wanted to know what version it was to be sure that it would be the latest and greatest in the event I ordered it. Here’s my question and the less than stellar response,

Me: “I’m interested in the DG834G but would like to know which version I’d be getting if I order one. Can you please advise if it is the latest v5 with both the power and wifi power switches.

Them: “Our supplier has had a look at the box and it doesn’t mention what version it is, but they said it does have “WiFi” written on the box.

OMG! Really?! You mean to say that a wireless router has “WiFi” written on the box? Thank you very much! Sheesh.

Sometimes you just gotta laugh. :D
