Hi Douglas, I say "cheaper" because: a) You would have to buy the optional wireless component from Toshiba, and b) Possibly have to pay someone to fit it.

I think that we are getting there! I could use the laptop as it stands then, but I would get better results by buying the Belkin card or the one suggested by Malcolm. But why "cheaper"? Sorry if I am missing something. To save cluttering the list with more messages in this already lengthy thread, May I use this one to thank Tristram, Clive, Alexander and others for their contributions which have been most helpful.
