Buffalo LinkStation Pro 500GB LS-500GL
!<http://www.buffalotech.com/product-images/LS-GL-tn.jpg!:http://buffalotech.com The state of the art of Network attached storage has sure improved a lot since I got a Linksys NSLU-2 three years ago.

Quick, clean and tasty
Well, I don’t know how authentic it is, but Shiok is a great find in Menlo Park, its on a quiet street and it has great teas including the lime one that I had where you got to pour your own sweetener in. The shrimp was really tasty and the service was quick. My buddy…

A9.com Help and Frequently Asked Questions. A9 just updated their site and they bagged their 1.5% off of Amazon purchases if you use it. Nice if they told someone, but I think that’s part of the plan. People keep using it (the main reason I used it was for the Amazon rewards, I have to…
