[dba-Tech] Wireless on an ME laptop

John:

Thanks for the advice.  RAM upgrade would cost more than the computer is
worth.  So we'll just try the Access Point approach and keep our fingers
crossed.

ME _is_ crap but if its just an extra computer and it has worked for him in
the past don't worry about it. Just add a USB wireless adapter and go for
it.

If he has had problems with it crashing, displaying errors, etc. then think
about upgrading it to w2k or wxp. Either will run on some pretty low end
hardware if you add enough RAM. (Most laptops new enough to run ME would
have an additional RAM slot available.)  Look on the manufacturer's web site
to see if they have driver available for the newer OSs.
