Yep...let it go. I like Arnie, but I just couldn't resist making that
joke. He's inherited a huge mess & even though he has only been in
office a couple years people want to know why he hasn't gotten all the
problems fixed that took decades to cause. Hardly fair.

Agreed...you have to look at the total price. I couldn't find shipping
charges listed anywhere. At least you are getting something for your
$15 or so bucks (2-day shipping). Some internet outfits charge $15+
just for ground shipping.

Yeah, that's me - latest 'n greatest. I'm suspicious of why
Motorola switched chipsets in mid-stream from Broadcom
to Texas Instruments. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Lower cost + same wholesale price = greater margins.

Then why does the SB5100 sell for appreciably less
than the SB5120?

Just speculating, but maybe they've been discontinued and they're
just clearing inventory. Just checked their site and it looks like
the SB5101 has replaced the SB5100.
