I would just like to say that I dream about connecting my Newton wirelessly
anywhere. Seriously. Every time Peter shows up at a SONUG meeting with his
Newton, modem, and DPC550 flip phone, and checks his mail, I get excited.
Even though the technology involved is 5+ years old now. And all this talk of
GPRS with IrDA... it makes me want to smash my non-IrDA, non-GPRS, non-data
cable Motorola V101. OTOH, I can use it for ICQ anywhere :)
Maybe it's time for me to pick up an 802.11b card...
