I thought this article on Internet Appliances was interesting. dailynews.yahoo.com My brother-in-law (a Republican politician here in Phoenix) just got a cool new gadget. It's a box slightly larger than cigarette box, which hooks up to his laptop, which contains a wireless modem. I can't remember the name of the wireless company - but they installed relays every couple of miles throughout Phoenix. It operates at two to three times the speed of a 56K - which is the fastest wireless connection I've seen yet. You can get a PCMCIA but it's a hundred bucks more. Dave
