Ipad from 12 years ago? In 2000? Didn't Apple just come out with the iPod at this time?

I've not seen anything come along that would replace it. It's a PDA with the "accessory pack" thing attached, so that I can run an Orinoco PCMCIA card in it. Someone back then whipped up driver for WinCE so that the Orinico card worked. (Lonnie) With that and a hand held small tubular yagi, it works like a charm. It reads 802.11b only of course. Shows other AP's, signal strength, noise floor, etc. I use a 15db yagi and pigtail to the Orinoco. Climb onto the roof, sweep for signal, read the level, and you can easily calculate margin for various alternative antennas. What I'd really like to find is a hand held device like that with an Etnernet port. It seems nobody puts Ethernet ports in anything smaller than a laptop and even that's getting replaced more and more with wireless.
