That shouldn't matter because that generally applies to storage
devices which generally have "buffers" or a cache (used by
Windows) where they hold data. If they are set in the Device
Manager for "Optimize for Performance" instead of "Optimize for
quick removal", then that removal (for storage devices) becomes
important. That's not to say if it's set for Performance that
if you simply unplug or turn off a storage device you'll lose
data on it, it depends on how recently data was written to the
device.

Hugh,
I hooked up the Linksys router and it works great. I have all
three
computers online now. The laptop was easy. The USB wireless
adapter for
the old desktop was another story. Had to call support for the
USB
adapter and they told me I needed to call Linksys and I kept
telling
them my laptop works so the problem isn't with the router. Well
I ended
up calling Linksys and there was something that needed
changing. The
girl at Linksys was very knowledgeable. She had me going here
and there
changing this and that and now it works.
One question. Since it is a USB connection should I be
disconnecting the
USB adapter through the system tray even if I never remove the
adapter
before shutting down? I will be leaving the adapter plugged in
all the
time but it gets turned off when the computer is shut down.
Thanks
Vern
