Mostly at my desk. However, a few times from my backyard or neighbors deck.

living room couch right now. i have three desktops and a laptop thru a wireless router and cable modem.

I sometimes carry the laptop thru the house, or next door of in the garage. But right now I am cursing the cubs on the living room couch.

Living room!!! Just set up my first router tonight. This is awesome! I can't believe what I've been missing.

Anyone willing to answer some newbie security questions? I posted in Networking, but no one's posting there tonight. If so, post a response over there please. Thanks.

What brand/model laptop?

Compaq Presario 1500T representin'

IBM R32. :)

I HATE Hp/Compaq now and will never ever buy from them again. After losing my order for months, and forcing me to dispute the charge w/ my bank, I hope they can die. :p

How is the R32 compared to the T30/T40?

It's amazing. Rock solid, very fast, super reliable...and reasonable in weight (5.5lb).

It's what I recommend for most people now.

From what I gather, the T40 is a Centrino, which should give you longer batter life (I get around 3 hours on my R32 @ 5.5lb).

You'll get closer to 7 hours on a T40. :D

I'm sure there are other reasons (better choices for additional hardware, etc.), but I'd imagine battery life is up there. :)

Sorry for the late reply, I was gone at the ocean all weekend.
