Pi thanks for the Reply.
The good thing about being a novice is everything is kaleidoscopically

After reading your erudite and interesting comments to Karl and me, guess I 
need them all,alas, I will spin the bottle, get a card and began an epic

this card does not in any way distract me from my unrequited romance with

Yours, a gracious offer to answer further questions regarding the matter of 
wireless pcmcia cards,
Thank You and Appreciated. Anthony
Who is to say? Is this not a delightful club.
