Our desktop is wired at the moment, but that connection has dropped a few times lately, so we bought the wireless USB plug and D-Link software boxed together for $35. Haven't installed it yet, but shouldn't be a big deal.

My desktop is still wired. Not changing it at this point.
Rick turned on his Sony Playstation the other night and looked around a bit. It was picking up the wireless availability. He can now go on line and "race" with other folks if he wants, and he downloaded a Net Flix program as well.
We can now watch movies from our Net Flix account without the disc. I know lots of folks are doing that already. We're a bit behind the times.

Really Awesome. Going to get earphones for it today. Yesterday I took +1's car in for tires and instead of looking at out-of-date magazines laying around I watched U-tube videos on MGA restoration tips, read emails, etc. Screen resolution, touch, flipping to enlarge, etc., etc. are all awesome. With a case and a protective sleave, wireless router, and earphones I'll have $660 invested but it's so unique I feel it's worth it. I'll be taking it to FL with me tomorrow.
Enjoy your new toy.

First post from net book. It is a bit slow, but not bad at all. Keyboard is pretty nice. No real issues with typos, which I expected.
I also purchased a wireless mouse to make surfing/navigating easier.
The net book comes with Windows 7 Starter, need to check that out a bit.
This netbook should be perfect whenever we hit the road.

Good news, Lainey.
