WiFi PC Card... For $9.99?
This was a price too good to pass up mentioning. eCOST is selling a 802.11b PC card (for laptops; it looks like it's Cardbus from the picture) for $9.99 after a $20 mail-in rebate. 8O It's not a big brand name (Ashton Digital -- in fact, I've never heard of them before), but at that price, it might just be time to think about outfitting your home with a wireless setup if you haven't done so already. 
(A minor footnote: ignore eCOST's Quantity Remaining -- it seems to cycle around indefinitely. I do believe the time remaining counter is accurate, though.)

Cardbus will (should) work with all newer laptops as it is a 32-bit interface. AFAIK, no Pocket PCs have a cardbus interface, only 16-bit interfaces.

I got one of these about a month ago. Paid $0.00 bucks with a $0.00 mail in rebate. Shipping was $4.00.
I've generally had good luck with rebates. I keep good records and have needed to call acouple of folks to the carpet, but nonetheless, if you think you can trust them, go for it. I have an ancient Compaq Armada 1700 and it works just fine on it. (win98se)
chers!

*sigh* I hate you guys, I truly do. The US always gets things dirt cheap, and you get so many rebates, the company actually starts paying *you* to use their product :roll:
Wish we could get stuff like that for prices like that. An 802.11b card for less then what I pay for a large pizza? Yeah, I'll take four.
