I got my Dell Inspiron 8500 last week.

After a quick re format, i finally finished installing everything today. I even managed to configured the wireless router, i first for me, and an achievement for me because the Dell software refused to work and i had to do it manually..

I am on the net for the first time in my life... without wires :)

Didn't get one when Compusa or that PCClub store were giving them away FAR? I got my Dad an SMC card when it was free at CompUSA. Excellent deal. Works very well :)

Been there, done that. Although I didn't setup WEP. All I did was restrict which MAC addresses can communicate with the wireless router. I hope that's enough.

Congrats.

WiFi is awesome and is getting CHEAPER by the month.

WAP for $2.99 after rebate
Laptop cards for around $10 - $20

So you could get your laptop online for around $30 after rebates.
