Gene,

Yes, I do recall reading that. Thank you for the information, but it 
kind of defeats my purpose if I am making an effort to lessen or 
eliminate my use of M$ products if I use it to support my Linux 
interest. However I did make note of it for future reference when I am 
in a "need to" situation and must have wireless and Linux. It did pique 
my interest in Puppy and have downloaded it, but have not had an 
opportunity to play around with it yet in VMware or otherwise.

Thanks again.
