Wireless Dell Laptop via Linksys
Published 5 years, 4 months ago in macintosh, windowsWhile I was at CompUSA buying the Linksys Ethernet Bridge, I also picked up a Linksys WPC 11 (Instant Wireless Network Adapter - Version 3.0) or 802.11 card. It was only $80, and since my company said I couldn’t have one, I bought one with my own cash. It’ll be worth it, as I can now surf the net from the work computer while sitting on the couch too.
This really means the wife can surf the web using the PC while I surf using the iBook (once I get it back from the shop) as all of my real tools are on the Mac (Photoshop, Fireworks, telnet, etc…) and I’m so much more fluid on the Mac, as well as the fact that the battery really holds up much better on the Mac than on the Dell.
Woohoo… totally wireless home network now!
(Oh, and setting up the Linksys PC Card on XP couldn’t have been any easier… it was just plug in the card, insert CD, hit ‘ok’ and you’re done. Nice job there Microsoft and Linksys)

Wireless rules. Same deal at my office. I had to purchase the wireless card for the laptop, (non apple, never used an apple) and it is great to sit on the couch, surf the net, and don’t have to share the desktop computer with the kids.
Apple computers? If a company uses MS Office, how do you get around that on an apple? Will MS Office run on an apple computer or is there some sort of conversion software you must use? I know zip about apple computers.
email on link was wrong. corrected here.
