Right. I use Kinternet too on some laptops. On my main one tho, its easier to just yank the PCMCIA card out of the slot. ;-) (Its an older laptop, but I try not to buy embedded wireless anyway if given a choice. The stuff is evolving so fast its obsolete before your machine is delivered. I use a cheap Mobil Edge pocket wifi detector on a plane once to see how many laptops had their wifi nic running, more out of curiosity than anything else. There was at least one that had it on somewhere behind me. The Stew saw me and asked about it, and then borrowed it and went back and had them turn off the wifi. A very tech savy stew. Course I stopped doing that, because it occurs to me I'd likely arouse a lot suspicion with that. Last thing I want to see is F16s out my window. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
