There’s something a little... odd about the twins. They’re not like the other children. Always sharing some private joke, a mutual twinkle of malicious laughter in their eyes... when one stubs his toe or bumps his head, the other cries out in pain... now that you think of it, it was strange the way their pet hamsters both mysteriously disappeared at the same time... Remember that time you woke up in the middle of the night to find the twins standing next to your bed, just staring, staring, always staring? The principal at their school sensed it, too. She went so far as to assign them to different classes. Pity what happened to her – you’d think a professional educator would know better than to try to make toast while taking a bath.

If you know what’s good for you, you’ll get them the same presents for Christmas, the way they prefer. This two-pack of Linksys WUSB11 802.11b Wireless Adapters, for instance. They’ll let your special little darlings connect their USB-enabled PCs to your existing wireless network, as easily as they plug in their matching dental drills (hamster not included). The built-in di-electric antennae connect to the hub at distances of up to 1500 feet, and the twins can swap and share them the same way they swap and share their orthodontic retainers.

Just one thing – don’t let on that these 802.11b wireless adapters are slower than 802.11g models. It might displease the twins, and nobody would want that, especially on Christmas. It’s awfully easy for a dried-out pine tree to catch fire, expecially when it’s wrapped with hot electric lights...
