Yesterday was a Good_Day(tm) at the Seto Shack. The Dell Inspiron 1150 came in as well as the Linksys WRT54GS wireless 802.11g router. You better believe I was up late playing with these toys last night.
Even though the Inspiron 1150 is a "cheap" laptop, it looks like it will do just fine for what I need it for. Namely, running spreadsheets and doing memos/reports. As noted earlier, the trade-off for cheap is that the 1150 weighs so much my shoulder was sore from carrying it after walking only two blocks to the parking garage.
The Linksys was also fun to play with. I have to make sure I understand how to secure the wireless network but so far it's up and running and I can't tell any difference in web surfing speed between being wired and wireless. Web sites come up just as fast as when I have a CAT-5 cable plugged in as when I have the Linksys card plugged in the card slot.
Anyway, this will be a good weekend for me...
Have a Great Weekend Everyone - Aloha!
