The weakest link...

On December 24, my Voice over IP box went bust and my fixed telephone line along with it! I immediately called the VoiP company that said that a replacement device would immediately be on its way to me.

Reality proved quite different as I only received it today! When I unpacked the replacement, I realized that the problem wasn't with the Cisco-made device itself, but with its lowly AC/DC adapter that wasn't supplying enough current.

So, once more, I learned something new and it was another reminder that the weakest link in any system is always what we should be worried about, not necessarily the 800 pound gorilla staring at us!
