    Do you have a fetish for black prickly-looking things? Are you just a LITTLE BIT too far away from your neighbor's WiFi to snurch a connection? Do you have a NEED to stick as many antennas as humanly possible on your Toughbook?

    Then Newegg has just the product for you, and it's ON SALE:

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833998052&Tpk=N82E16833998052

    Use promo code EMCMLLM45 and get it delivered for under $15!

    If Happy Fun Ball begins to smoke, get away immediately. Seek shelter
    and cover head.

    Happy Fun Ball may stick to certain types of skin.

    When not in use, Happy Fun Ball should be returned to its special container
    and kept under refrigeration.

    Failure to do so relieves the makers of Happy Fun Ball, Wacky Products
    Incorporated, and its parent company, Global Chemical Unlimited, of
    any and all liability.

    Ingredients of Happy Fun Ball include an unknown glowing substance which
    fell to Earth, presumably from outer space.

    Happy Fun Ball has been shipped to our troops in Saudi Arabia and is
    also being dropped by our warplanes on Iraq.

    Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.

    Happy Fun Ball comes with a lifetime guarantee.

    Happy Fun Ball! Accept no substitutes!

    Jesus I just lost .50 cents worth of Jack on that one... Out my nose it goes!

    That is TOO funny... I was whistling that SAME tune under my breath as I was arrowing down.... Too funny...

    Then I started thinking about the deep throated announcer type....

    "Do you want to drive women away with your geekiness? How about our NEW 'Triple Threat' from ROSEWILL! Yes... No more worrying about beating the women off with a stick... You can now attach our new 'Tri-Phase' wifi antenna to the top of your head or, if you own a Toughbook, you can MOD IT INTO IT!

    Be the envy of all the Geeks on YOUR Block by ordering one TODAY! Just $19.95 and if you act now, well throw in a years supply wire nuts and solder!

    Because it is made by ROSEWILL in Taiwan... You know it is a product of value!

    Get yours TODAY!!!!"


    :cool:

    EDIT: To answer your question... Yes... My "N" card is coming tomorrow... I'm letting my Geek Flag fly!

    Yeah.. But I don't think my Verizon FIOS router is an N router.. So more money for speed in my future... But It should still help with signal in my area when Verizon is down or slow. :)
