I am a high school algebra teacher always looking for new ways to teach my students. I highly recommend this video. It is clear and easy to follow. Students seem to understand the concepts quicker than in a noisey class. I bought the entire series.

averageguy@graffiti.com Microsoft Wireless Notebook Adapter
11/7/2004
I have been to severel stores looking for a wireless adapter that runs on Windows 98.I have 2 laptops that are running 98 and at the beginning of the year I purchased the Microsoft one and placed it in the first laptop. Since then I have acquired another laptop and wanted to do the same but could not find the same card in any of the local computer stores. In fact one salesperson told me that wireless does not run on 98 os.
Thanks to averageguy, I found what I needed and received it promptly. Thanks Joe

Didn't work at first--frustrationville!
7/23/2004
I just received this adapter and installed it almost without any problems. The instructions in the booklet for inserting the card were different from the software--one said to turn off your computer. I tried it without turning it off and it worked (sort of). After completing the installation I still didn't have an interent or networking connection and the signal strenght was poor. (We have a Linksys wireless router--about five feet away).
After going through the help screen in the utility menu about four times--it was no help. I finally figured out that it needed the ssid--it didn't detect it automatically (like the usb version does). To make a long story short--I finally manually inputted the ssid and after tinkering a little more it worked.

Works great, would recommend

Inserted the setup CD, followed the prompts, plugged in the card and it started working. I don't have any signal problems throughout my house. Comes with a neat graphical status program too. For the price, you can't beat it. Unless you want to run CAT 5 all over your house.

Linux compatible chipset in card
6/16/2004
This is a pretty good card. It uses the Prism2 chipset. Linux recognizes it on my system (MDK10 with kernel 2.6.X), although I have not finished the annoyance that is setting up wireless networking under linux. The MS Windows OS installer ap is annoyingly big, but post-install card configuration is much better than what I have seen with other brands. The stupid inability to cut and paste WEP keys is very standard for all cards I've used. It's not as though such measures really increase security. Disabling cut and paste for the WEP key certainly does not keep one from storing the key locally. Therefore, I really must wonder what manufacturers think is gained. All in all, though, a very good, highly responsive card with excellent range and GREAT compatibility. Supposedly, it _might_ even work under BeOS.
