I have barely used this wireless card in the laptop, but I'm hooked (or unhooked, depending on how you think about it.) Now I'm going to look around for the very cheapest access point I can find. I know they are coming out with bigger, better stuff all the time so rather than pay a premium to get the state of the art as of August 2002, I'd rather pay a discount to get the state of the art as of January 2001. They will both be out of date soon enough. I think $50 is my price - if I can find one for that, I go for it.

There is a promotion going on at Fictionwise as part of their Open an Ebook promotion. Come get them while they are relatively cheap! I'm constantly telling people about the electronic book experience and slowly people are acting less skeptible. At some point the kneejerk opposition to the entire medium can be replaced with simple consumer dynamics - you might like it or not, but people won't dismiss out of hand something they never actually tried for themselves.
