Hi George,
Thanks for the information, My son says it is possible that Santa may stop off
at pc world and pick up a wireless router for the laptop! (ho ho ho!) I think I
get most of what you said, but if you did take the laptop e.g. abroad I assume
you would have to subscribe to another network to access the wireless access
point? if so? who provides such a service?Sorry for all the questions George
but I guess I'm just curious. Once again thanks.
Alistair

Hi Alistair,
I see your first questions has been answered, but no comment on the second.
Centrino is a type of processor which has been developed specifically fore
wireless networking.
If your new laptop is wireless ready, that's a potential bonus for you. Put
very simply, it gives you the potential to hook up to the internet, and send
and receive mail, without actually been connected with wires. This could be in
your own home, or virtually anywhere in the world which provides wireless
access.
The net result is that you could simply pick up your laptop and work anywhere
in the house, or even outside, that suited you. No dragging cables about.
Of course for home use, you would need a wireless modem, router or access
point, but these days prices have fallen considerably.
I'll spare the connectivity details, but suffice to say with Windows XP,
especially SP2, things have become much easier to set up, and once you have
tasted wireless with a laptop, you won't want to go back to hard wire - unless
you have really huge amounts of data to shift about at extremely high speed.
George.

Hi folks,
Following the demise of my desktop pc I have been presented with a new
laptop for Christmas, problem is for the life of me I can't find the keystroke
for the jaws curser!It's driving me nuts! I'm using jfw 4.5.1 with xp home. Any
help would be appreciated. Apparently this machine has something called
centrino technology, and is wireless ready, sadly this is just double dutch to
me, anyone who could explain these terms to me would help me enormously.
Alistair
