    Anyone using in particular Sprints Merlin S720 card with their 5672.

    From my Googling, it looks like there are often incompatibilities between these cards and laptops...

    I really don't need it, but I am so addicted to the Internet that I can't stand being a second without Internet access and I'm tired of trying to find hotspots or fiddle with my phone to use as a dial up modem.

    check out net-stumbler if you have not already done so - http://www.netstumbler.com/

    As far as wireless card access the express card 34 slot would be a great add on for wireless service. As far as incompatibility I currently have not seen any problems, but it is defiantly possible.

    If you can't live without internet that can also be a possible addiction problem - http://www.netaddiction.com/resources/internet_addiction_test.htm

    If you think its a good thing then by all means, but if not take the test ;)

    I already know about my Internet addiction and the fact that if I were in Finland I would be able to get out of military service based on my "condition."

    It started when I was 12 when I wrote and managed my own 24x7 BBS system...
