802.11b

802.11b refers to a method of connecting computers together without using wires, hence the term "wireless".

This is often referred to as a "wireless LAN" (local area network).

This technology allows information to be transmitted among computers in the same building at a speed that is just as fast as if wires were used to cennect the computers.

The obvious advantage of this technology is that it would not be necessary to run wiring to connect together a network of computers.

Actually, it's very similar to the cordless phone that you use at home.

Recently, a popular use for 802.11b is sharing one Internet account among many computers in a home or business.

This "Internet Sharing" uses the wireless technology combined with a "router" (that splits the Internet signal) and it allows many family members to simultaneously use the one Internet connection.

A. Thanks to S. Hersh for allowing me, ever so briefly, to go back in time and re-live my long lost youth.

My suggestion to you over 50's folks is to pause for a moment and treat yourself to a unique experience. And don't rush thru it but, rather, allow yourself the time to enjoy the moment.

And be alone... so that, as you smile, no one will notice the lone tear that slides down your cheek.

Until next week, this is your computer guy, changing the world one computer user at a time.

... "when one waits until the mailman is several houses down the street before picking up the mail, so as not to appear too anxious."

The Little Engine That Could Be
"It will give 10 times the amount of power that is generated by the best lithium battery and when the engine runs out of juice you just fill 'er up again. There's no need to wait to recharge or run out to the store for new batteries."

XP Can Be A Minus With AOL Plus
"Some users of America Online's high-speed Internet service have lost their ability to connect over digital subscriber lines after upgrading to Windows XP, according to message board postings."

No Thumbprint, No Rental Car
"Privacy advocates say that the burgeoning use of biometric data -- including face and finger scans -- by government and corporations is poorly regulated and worry that information could be used to track and monitor citizens."

How MS Settlement Was Reached
"Critics, including Microsoft competitors and some independent antitrust experts, have said the settlement announced Nov. 2 is inadequate and charged that the company will be able to bypass many of the sanctions because of vague language."

E-Mail Virus Slams Muslim Group
"The American Muslim Council said 'We call this criminal activity.' 'That the infection happened on a Friday, the Muslim holy day, makes it no coincidence', they added."

PUBLIC-DOMAIN refers to any software that is not copyrighted. It is free and can be used without restriction. The term public-domain software is often used incorrectly to include freeware. Often the author of public-domain author is unknown.

FREEWARE software is, in fact, copyrighted and is offered by the author at no charge.

SHAREWARE is software that you are allowed to use on a trial basis and usually expires after a specific amount of time or uses. Shareware then stops functioning or is limited in some manner. The reason for the great popularity of shareware stems from the fact that anyone can freely distribute their software without paying alot of money to advertise the product.

PAID software is, as the name implies, paid for before you can use it. As with most other things in life, we pay for it and then we own it and can use it.
