Look Ma, No Wires

susandennisI really want a new computer. But, I really don't need a new computer. My old one is just not old enough or small enough or slow enough to justify a new one.
So... I decided to upgrade my IPAQ instead. I got a sleeve for a compact flash card. I use flash cards in my camera so I have them and can swap them around. And then I got a wireless compact flash 802.11b card. This is really a silly purchase. I have no wireless network. Heck I only have one computer - no network at all. But, I plan to roam this 'hood and look for free networks. Ha! Someday I'll have a wireless network and I want to be ready. And I will be.
It would be great if I could crank up the IPAQ with a fast connection. I can use it for email now using my cellphone as a modem but it is slower than Christmas. Hopefully this will be better. We'll see. I ordered it all - sleeve from one place, card from another and, while I had the purse open, I grabbed a 64MB flash card from yet another place. I'm done. Purse closed. For now.
