Networking Your Notebook

Wireless networking is the latest advance in

computer communication. With a wireless

home network, you can use your notebook

wherever you like. From the comfort of your

sofa, kitchen, or patio, you can browse the

Internet, send and receive e-mails, transfer files,

and use your printer.

You can even browse the Internet and check

your e-mail when you are away from your home

by connecting to public “hot spots” commonly

available in airports, libraries, book stores, and

coffee shops.

For the computer user on the go, wireless

networking just makes life easier.
