   Oooh. I don't need anything at the moment, but I do love Ubiquiti's   
   stuff. I don't know if I mentioned this on here, but when I first   
   encountered Ubiquiti's network equipment, I did some research on the   
   company...   
      
   ...and they were founded by an ex-Apple guy who initially created the   
   company to capitalize on the commercial potential of long(er)-distance   
   WiFi links that he'd realize Apple could offer (back when Apple was   
   still offering AirPort devices).   
      
      
      
   The only knock I have on the company is about how they handle support.   
      
   While their products often set up just as easily as the very terse setup   
   information provided with them suggests, it would be better if there   
   were proper manuals offered and easily found. They depend far to much on   
   "community" to provide support and answer questions.
