Default s2ki.com in the bathroom

I am so excited about having a wireless network. In my old house I wired the whole house with CAT5 before new carpet was put in. Now that I'm in an apartment I picked up a wireless router and NIC. I use my computer everywhere. I walk outside a few yards and it's great.

I noticed that many new notebooks (Toshiba) have the wireless interface integrated.

Who else has gone wireless?

Posting from the thrown, what a concept!

I certainly think this a posting of record length for S2K Fan. That being said, guess where I am now?

Hint: not my wireless-enabled home, but that of my parents.

That's right, I traveled 7 hours by car so that I could still post from the throne.


....wiping up in Charlotte!

I've been wireless for a long time, and the whole going to the crapper with your wireless toy wears off real quick when it goes into the drink (dogs do drink from them btw).

I had my first iPAQ fall into the throne...damn defective product!

I'd hate to be the poor bastard that had to handle that in the RMA dept...yick.

I'd go wireless but I don't have a laptop/palm/ipaq etc

Time for me to get laptop soon. It'll make my cs10 class MUCH easier

went wireless about two weeks ago. Then I realized that my sony vaio laptop battery only lasts about 15 minutes ( it's a few years old ). So till I get a new battery, my network connection is wireless but I still have to keep my ac cord plugged in.

I've got a wireless LAN. Using Lucent's Orinoco system. It is pretty sweet. Have had it for about a year now and no probs whatsoever. Loving it.
