    Linksys is the best you can get. I'd look for 50 to 60 to start with.

    Wow, so I actually went technology shopping and got it right? there's a rarity. Thanks for the advice, I'll put up an ad I guess. Does it work like E-bay or something? They win, send money, I post wireless card?

    Charter in the FS forum will give u all the details. But basically you post a description of what you're selling and a guide price. So your ad would be:

    " Linksys PC Card 802.11G Wireless Card (I'm assuming this is it). Bought 5 months ago for 75e. Looking for 50e + P&P"

    Then wait for people to make offers. People will prob post that they could buy new for X so they are offering Y for it etc. Once someone meets ur guide price or as close as you think u'll get then u accept and PM the buyer to arrange payment and posting etc.

    my da freaked the hell out of me the other day when i said 'god, buying a laptop is so stressful, it's such a lot of money to spend on one thing' and he said 'ah it's not a lot of money these days. €1000 is just pennies'. i've never been quite so conscious of my complete and utter middle-class-ness in my life. and my da's not even a white-collar worker, he's a carpenter. weirdness.

    I went to the Bank and got me a 3 year loan for 1500 quid to be paid at 60 quid a month more or less. Thats the price of a social life

    My da's pretty much the same, carpet fitter so roughly same wages and yeah they make a fair bit of dough.

    Sadly my parents would not fork out but thats due to their, dont spoil em philosophy, which will probably just make me buy my kids everything :D

    I have a desktop and a laptop. Desktop was a top of the range, all bells and whistles job that I treated myself to since I didn't have to pay rent last year (worked as an RA). Laptop is a second hand old laptop that I got thru boards FS forum for 350e. Bargain!

    Does that have a really catchy Katamari Demachy (sp?) song in/on it? If so, it's the best song ever! A housemate appropriated it somehow - he's not sure how- and it's the most fun to just do mental-happy-crazy-dancy-jumpy-all over the place bopping stuff too.

    Wow, you'd think english students would be slightly more articulate. Heh!
