i feel *evil* torturing you two like this
while i'm enjoying my widgets, the hardware is a bit wasted on me, i'm afraid
i found the wifi dongle...thanks a...
chedabob...i'm not confident enough to do what you suggested unfortunately...never know I could get more adventurous over the next 12 months given time to play...i'm currently impressed with my ability to install a wireless card in my tower and build a circuit that makes pretty lights flash...so you get the gist of the level of my skills...i am making an effort to get up to speed to some degree at least!! i'm aiming to graduate to microcontrollers before the year is out
i was thinking about the case as an aerial too...again not sure on the safety aspects here....have you seen the aerials people have made out of Chinese deep fryer baskets? pretty cool...nice to take to the park with a laptop on a sunny day
i'll run it by chumbyHQ and see if i am permitted to email some pics of my chumby's innards to satisfy your curiosity...totally up to them...
have you seen the motherboard pic on bunnie's blog?
