My own experience is that big retailers tend to push what's easy and most
profitable, and that the market is nowhere near that perfect (otherwise we
wouldn't have Monster cable, and people paying stiff prices for bottles of
plain water), so I routinely search for "best" products, backed up by reliable
sources of information. That's how I quickly found PC Guardian Ultra. It's
also why I use an IBM ThinkPad rather than a cheap notebook computer. It's
why I use quality DVD-R discs rather than whatever happens to be on sale. It
may by why I've never experienced WPA/PSK problems (as discussed in another
thread). And so on.
