Geek gift.

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

The one actual geek gift I got for my birthday this year, much to my surprise, (because my parents usually steer clear of buying tech stuff) was a wireless/CF card for my Axim. They picked up the Ambicom WL1100C-CF. Installing it was pretty easy, it found my AP right away and after a little configuration, I was off! On the other hand, using the Axim with the wireless card in runs down the battery quite a bit quicker than it does without it running. I suppose I expected that. I’ll have to be sure and adjust my usage accordingly and make sure I pull the card out after I download email and get the latest headlines from PocketFeed. It’ll be nice to have at Gnomedex, when I will be able to stay in touch with the office through email without having to lug my laptop around all day.
