Honestly Scott, what were you thinking? The Great Alton Brown would
surely frown on using a PCI card. It's just a one-tasker. You stick it
in your computer. How is that versatility? Think of all the things you
can with a Wireless Access Point, even while it's in use:
- Hang it in your Christmas tree for more colored lights.
- Stick it on your bookshelf, and use it as a bookend.
- Keep it on your desk for a paperweight.
- Use the antenna to hold your key rings.
- Add a little more weight to your pile of books for pressing wild flowers.
- Some APs even have beautifully designed venting surfaces that can be
pressed into pie-crust
dough to create a lovely perforated top-layer of crust for any
covered pie.I'm surprised that even you can't recognize versatility, when it's been blinking at you from the across the room for an entire year. -- Topher Fischer GnuPG Fingerprint: 3597 1B8D C7A5 C5AF 2E19 EFF5 2FC3 BE99 D123 6674 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
