The system is a PIII 500 240x with 192MB of memory running XP SP2 so it's not real powerful but it works fine for what I'm using it for (ACT!, Street Atlas, Excel, Word and the internet). I don't want a wireless card antenna hanging out of it all the time for the 1 or 2 times a week that I may use it. The big annoyance was the steps that I was having to go through to enable the wireless card. Now it's only 2-3 steps to get it running. I carry this and/or an identical 240x running Win98SE in my car and use them as large Palm Pilots. I have an almost new X31 that I don't want to subject to the daily abuse that the 240x TPs take ($300 investment vs. a $2000 investment). BTW, the USR5410 works much better than the IBM A/B/G internal car on my X31. Chas.
