For many of the pcmcia cards (probably not the cheap ones), a client utility is usually included that allow you to change the output levels. I actually turn mine down at work as I have an AP at my desk and I'd like to keep my hair.;0) Really though, I'm only using it for testing so 1mW on both ends works just fine and reduces the chance of an attack (both internal and external, i work at a big company) since the range is reduced.
While I agree with the "But Microsoft often gets it right on the third try." (look at ActiveSync), I don't agree that Palm got it right on the first try. It's just that their first try was good enough to catch a lot of interest and gave them the resources to focus on what the Palm does best. Microsoft is obviously aiming for the "gee wizz" category that will still not fit the largest target, but will undoubtably garner a following because of the neat features.
As for me, my iPaq sits in a drawer, while my Blackberry 957 goes with me everywhere because it's a business tool, instead of just a toy.:)
My fondest memories of playing with massive collections of Legos (technically, they are "Lego Bricks") was constructing multiple space bases around the house with my twin brother and friends and having ships travel between our bases. (sometimes for exploration, many times for attack!)
Now I have a 3 and 4 year old and I have a grand excuse to play again and help foster the same love in my children!
I sat in an Aeron for around five years in my previous job and darn near shelled out the bucks when I moved to Atlanta to take it with me. I miss it and never had an unconfortable day sitting in it.
