Speedtouch 546

I don't normally do hardware reviews, but then this isn't a review so much as a whine.
Edit: There's a funny story. And when I say 'funny', I of course mean infuriating and tragic.
If Nucleus times out your login while you're in the entry form (and it normally does to me, because I write far too much) then you can go back (which in Firefox will make the items in the form reappear as the form elements do), refresh (which again in Firefox won't lose your form entries) and resubmit. Except that the page is very large and arrives in pieces, so there's a submit button at the bottom of the screen (halfway down the page) even though another screen's worth of form elements aren't yet there, haven't yet been repopulated by the browser and won't be included in the submission.
That's the second time I've done that. I'm tempted to go and hack the template to take out the submit button in the middle of the page; there's another at the bottom which of course doesn't appear until the refresh is finished.
As for the whine about the ST546: If you don't know much about networking it'll help you do some pretty advanced stuff. If you do, it will force you to do those things in the way it wants, which often isn't compatible with regular best practice ways, and it will drive you crazy.
