    D-link wireless g router AND notebook card $19.99 AR

    I just bought the same router. The connection dropping is a known problem with windows XP when using WPA. Service pack 2 fixes the problem. I had the problem before I applied sp2. If you aren't using WPA, then maybe it's a different problem. Hope that helps someone.

    Infusion Espresso Maker, 17.99 4.5 stars on 66 reviews

    This type of machine (unless I am mistaken) uses pressure from boiling water to force the water through the ground coffee. Most experts state that this is too hot and too high pressure for good espresso. The best machines use a pump to force water at a slightly lower temperature through the...

    diagnose this?

    It was the power supply. In the end it got worse so it wouldn't come on after it switched itself off. A tap on the side of the power supply made it come on. I switched a spare power supply in and have had no problems since. Thanks for the suggestions. Stinky.
