Laptop Wireless Cards

Most people don't realize it, almost all laptop's wireless cards are on mini-pci and are removable as a result. external wireless cards are available for purchase from online vendors, or from stores like best Buy and CompUSA. It's important to note that extended range wireless cards are often somewhat more expensive than low power wireless cards and that they can use more of your laptop's battery resources. Now that your wireless cards are providing physical and data link connectivity, they are ready to start.

driver

When you start the computer with the adapter installed, it will ask for a driver. download and install the most recent driver version 4 if one hasn't been installed. Be sure to get the US version of the driver. After installation of the drivers and adaptor connection manager you will need to use the adaptor connection manager to navigate.

Security

The final, and most important issue, is security. Once you have connectivity between the two systems, then you can worry about getting the security encryption to function properly. Once the security is properly enabled, it's time to get your wireless connection up and running. We also encourage you to observe standard security practices like not file sharing.

While not all PC's support wireless, several manufacturers have adopted wireless standards, and wireless cards are available. However, there is an increasing number of wireless cards are being released every day. mini-PCI wireless cards are designed for laptops. So instead of hammering a round peg through a square whole which wireless cards are working for your unit. Look for what adapters and wireless cards are compatible with your network.

Corded Phones Vs Cordless Phones - From Good to Better

Everyone knows that telephones have two varieties. The traditional one which is corded and its later version which is cordless. The debate over which is better started as soon as the cordless arrived. people did have complaints that the newer variety, that is cordless, is inferior to corded ones because its receptiveness is inferior. That the voice breaks up and audibility is not up to the mark. Also it cannot be taken too far away from the land line for then already disturbed voice quality becomes even worse.

Though there were praises also that came its way. people said that its altogether a new experience of talking without caring about wires. That you can actually roam around while you talk or talk while you are lazing around etc. It can be said about cordless that despite a few shortcomings it was indeed a hit with masses.

Complains about corded phones are also no less. first of which is the fact that it forces you to sit at a place and talk. people started yearning for a phone which they can keep with themselves all the time so that they don't have to run to receive the calls. people who wanted some privacy looked forward for a set which they can carry with themselves and talk whenever they felt so, away from the gazing eyes of mom and dad.

Thus, as far as debate over the superiority of cordless phones or corded phones are concerned, it can be said that cordless is the new and improved version of telephone which came into existence after all the shortcomings in the corded phones were taken care of and as such it is the improved and updated variety. However, it must be added that cordless is merely the extension of the traditional or the corded phones and therefore they cannot stand in competition with each other.

The Golf Swing Versus Technology

What David says about clubs and balls is true, however sad that might be. Manufacturers and retailers will have us believe that we CAN buy a better game. We most probably can, within reason.

Technology has allowed manufacturers to produce more forgiving clubs and balls that travel further. The argument can be made that it will make the game more enjoyable, attract more people and all the rest of it.

The effect that distance has on courses and tournaments is a topic we might tackle at a later stage. We all know (and the manufactures do too) that distance sells.

Retailers (and manufactures, for that matter) can contribute with proper club fitting. Gone are the old days when the boys purchased individual clubs from various sources. Matching sets was unheard of. Computerized customization allows for differences in build, swing speed and level of skill.

With hybrid clubs, and sets, the death of the long iron was inevitable. When last did you see anybody swing a 1-iron?

It is noticeable that the professional golfers lean more towards so-called amateur equipment whereas the ammies in the old days yearned for a set of traditional forged blades. (I am still a sucker for those things!)

The bottom line is that if you cannot swing a club half-decently, and, as Mr. Nicklaus puts it, propel the ball in a predominantly forward fashion, it might be a good idea to take up whatever else but golf.

I am a firm believer of proper ball striking. If you cannot make contact with the ball first, particularly with irons and hybrids, you will never control the ball, and that is what this game is about!

As much as technology allows for forgiveness on mishit shots, and compensates for not-so-pure ball striking, the fact remains that a fairly decent swing, based on basic principles, will improve your scores, enjoyment and, yes, all the rest of it. It will also hold up under pressure.

A good, solid swing should not be mistaken for a nice-looking swing. We have different physical attributes and natural abilities. The mere physics of this dictates that swings will differ from person to person.

Gary player said a number of very clever things. one is that if it works, use it. That, to me, means that how my swing looks might be flattering, but it is the score that counts.

If you look at the truly fluent swings out there, Ernie Els and Vijay Singh, and compare that to Lee Trevino and Arnold Palmer (with all due respect), whose swing would you rather copy?

Yet at impact they are all the same: head behind the ball, hips out of the way, weight on the left foot. Good, solid fundamentals can never be replaced!

I have to impress on all golfers out there, current and aspiring, the proper use of the driving range. Just a few ideas:

warm up properly Check the basics: grip, stance, posture, alignment, ball position Work on something specific as opposed to getting maximum distance out of your driver You cannot see yourself swing, so get help, a friend, video camera

If you are really serious, get yourself a forged blade 6-iron and an old persimmon driver. If you can hit a golf ball consistently with those two, you can hit anything!

It might take a little more than a simple golf swing to reduce my scores, but I am still a devoted follower of this weird game!

Thank you for bearing with me. This was my first effort I will try again!
