Rick Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 Hey all...yeah, it's been a long time! Listen, I am in the process of buying a laptop and I want to hook it up to a wireless network with my desktop pc so I can surf the web while I'm in bed or on the toilet. I'm not particularly interested in carrying a cable around the house with me!!! Anyway, it will cost nearly $400 to get wired for my simple little setup!:wail: That just won't work. Anybody in the USA have any ideas where I can get one used without having to spend 2 weeks bidding on ebay or do you have one that you want to sell? Let me know!Rick:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
