UPS just delivered this little gem to my door 4 minutes ago. WiFi was incredibly easy to set up, and I'm fairly impressed with the updates to PIE as well.

Very cool, and I just HAD to share! 8)

That might be your timezone. I think Surgical is on the West Coast of the US, in which case it would have been 10:06am this morning.

Thats great Surgical Snack! A good out of the box WiFi experience.

Very refreshing to hear. It sure beats...

Well, yeah, I kinda broke that rule a tiny bit. But it already had 54% charge in it, so I figured it would be a shame to waste it... :mrgreen:

It went RIGHT in the cradle after that post, and is now happily charged on its desk in my home in the lovely marshes of Squornshellous Zeta. UPS delivers to a different planet, but not to a P.O. Box? :wink:

Shhhhh! We wouldn't want Douglas Adams turning over in his grave, nor the bed manufacturers prematurely killing the mattresses. :razzing:

p.s. The first quote was technically from "Mostly Harmless", right? What about the second? Was that "Life"?

" Mostly Harmless " Right! Chapter7.

' For a moment, nothing happened. Then, after a second or so, nothing continued to happen.'

Hmmm... I don't think it was out of "Life, the Universe, and Everything," but not absolutely certain.

I'll consult with Zem shortly :sleeping: and hope the big bag of cotton/foam futon and wire doesn't tell me it's SEP. :lol:

Everything is SEP. Well, except all the work I have to do. I wish I had a SEP field. Buh-bye stress... :lol:

The WiFi range on the 4155 is awesome. It goes farther away from acces points than my linksys pc card, and ambicom card for 2215. It is simply amazing.
