If my memory serves, isn't Belkin the folks who were selling the gateway
that randomly redirected the user to their marketing pages where they
were marketing their software?

I used to think that Belkin provided reasonable value to the user...it
looks like this false marketing is more of the same stuff. They seem to
have gone over to the dark side, and surely should be on everyone's
"don't buy" list.

Pete was lucky he didn't pick it up at Frys...
