	yeah... for some reason, they stole 2 PCMCIA network cards, but
didn't steal the dongle lying there (maybe they didn't recognize it as such,
since it was too big & ugly); and they obviously opened my z50 and looked at
it, but left it. maybe they recognized it as a wince device, and left it
because of that.

hmmm, looks like $127 at this place:

but I'd have to buy the PCMCIA adapter at compgeeks.com. ($9)

and I can't really forsee a need for a CF ethernet card. (I put my CF disk
in the z50's slot; and if I need more storage space I'll figure out an NFS
mount).

thanks for the idea tho; seems like a nifty little piece of technology. :)

any other suggestions?

Carl.
