In case it will be of any use, I humbly present: http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20010628.html http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20010712.html http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20020207.html There are a few other hits, so in case they will be of any relevance, the search I used is at <http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=cringely+802.11b+site%3A.pbs.org>. -- Bill Jonas * bill@billjonas.com * http://www.billjonas.com/ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin Attachment:
