Tom,
A friend of mine has the Dazzle and didn't like it. I guess it sits around
collecting dust.
As for my approch, it'll work you say? I see some are 2 port and 3 port, is
there one I should have over the other?
I'm thinking of a B130 Inspiron with a DVD burner or a HP laptop they have
at Circuit City, don't know which one to get.
But, what more can you tell me about the PCMCIA card and maybe speed using
it.
thanks,
geo
