Just having a wander round the site when I spotted this thread. I'm posting this reply from my wireless IPAQ. I can wander round the house posting or using messenger, or checking my email. I love wireless and my IPAQ!!!!

One of my patients on Thursday had a small electronic personal organiser with him (don't know which make but it was colour and windows based).
I noticed that it had what looked like a pc card sticking out of it so I asked him to show me it in action. He managed to pick up my network (wich is in a different building to my clinic), cool!
Glad it didn't let him log on. At least the security works! :D

I'm back on my laptop now, its wireless as well tho!! Its easier to post with a keyboard, and a screen big enough to show the post!!!
Yeah the wireless stuff is good but I did have concerns with security, I am using everything I have heard of about wireless security. Filtering on MAC address, hiding the network SSID, and 128bit encryption.
I've scanned and not picked up anyone elses network.

It does sound very cool. I hear it's not much good for playing Mohaa though :D
