My wireless network here really exists only because it was a 'why not?'
proposition recently. The cheap Linksys router I was using to share my
DSL connection died for some reason, and it turned out to be just as
cheap to buy one now with a wireless port on it. At the same time I
bought the cheapest wireless card I could find. I connect an almost
on-topic (quite old) Toshiba 486 laptop with it for portable web access.
 Wireless gateways are so cheap that for me one ended up being a free
add-in.
