Tip of the Week

Then recently, office email became accessible with the wireless network adapter card. Laptops today have a number of options to plug into the web without wires. Cards like the D-Link 11Mbps USB Adapter or the ParkerVision 802.11b Card plug into the PCMCIA slot or a USB port. These cards act like mini antennas that allow you to surf the net when you are in areas that enables wireless surfing. These areas are known as hotspots.
