As far as I know you are pretty much going to need a PCI->PCMCIA bridge, then you'll buy a PCMCIA 802.11 card (assuming you mean 802.11b when you say wireless). The ISA->PCMCIA adapters usually get better reviews, though that may be because of linux driver support (haven't looked at windows...

I was a bit vague about what it does -- in addition to "refusing to power on", it'll emit long steady beeps that don't seem to correspond to a beep code per-se... I'll double check and make sure there are multiple ground points, if that fails I'll swap in my Sparkle power supply and see if that...

My girlfriends machine (Celeron 466 I put together a couple years ago) is having problems. Occasionally it will refuse to power on (won't even get to an initial bios screen). It has been happening for some time, and would happen maybe 25% of the time she turned the box on. Lately it happens...

Anyone know what song they played at the beginning of tonights That 70s Show? I think they had it at the end of the season finale last year too.... It was mostly acoustic guitar, and the couple lyrics I remember are: "Would you be an outlaw for my love?" "If it's over let me go..." Anyone?

Awhile ago I ordered an I-Jam mp3 player from Amazon that people had posted here. I believe the model number was IJ-100 but could be wrong...It was a "32 mb" player (2 16mb cards) and had a manufacturers rebate that brought the price down to $30 or so. I never got my rebate, so I...

I guess I've been a Unix geek for too long. I've got a laptop on loan from work for a conference next week. The laptop is a compaq running nt 4/sp6. It has a 2 gig partition that I'd like to stick Windows 98 (or 2k) on for the week. What do I need to do to ensure I don't screw up the...

The Senate race in Missouri was one of the tightest in the nation, and it's key for democrats everywhere. Governer Carnahan died after the deadline for changing ballots, meaning the democratic party could not nominate anyone else to run and have their name on the ballot. Rather then concede...

Forgot to add about cost of living... I'm paying $955 / month for a one bedroom apartment with a "den" (a den being a 6x10 room). It's nice, but certainly not $1k/month nice... I will probably keep paying that to avoid traffic, but it sure was a shock when I got here. More...

This summer I moved from Missouri to Tyson's Corner, VA. I live just outside Falls Church off of Rte. 7. Here's my thoughts: 1) Traffic is horrible. Live close to work or plan your commute carefully. 2) Real estate prices / rents are very high. If you want to live near work in Tyson's you...

I've been dating a girl for 5 years now who happens to be Jewish. I was raised Catholic but don't consider myself the least bit religious. Neither my girlfriend or I would have even considered letting religion get in the way of things while we were casually dating. As it became more serious...
