real gumby writes "Shades of E.E. "Doc" Smith! Thomas Gee has made an 802.11 antenna from an old floppy disk and a paper clip. He credits this site for the inspiration (featuring an antenna from an old ice cream spoon). As MacPlus comments: "It's stylish, effective, and doesn't detract from that `everything computing' ambience in your home."" Warning: French. Update: 06/07 18:27 GMT by T : (Not Fremch ;))

    Just a tip:

    dont ever stop smoking. It makes a great anti-depressent. Cheaper than prozac, zoloft and that ilk, safer, and more fun (OOOOOO! Pink Floyd is on the radio!!)
