So, I was at work today when my beautiful eldest daughter called me and asked me if I knew where the “other Internet stick” was. I had to think about that one for a second.
Turns out, I have our computers using wireless USB network cards. The other night, I had taken one of the wireless USB network cards out of the computer downstairs and left it upstairs. Ah-HAH! That’s what she was looking for! The Internet Stick (TM) that I had taken out of the computer and left on my desk. =:)
*teehee*
I love my kids!!! =:)

Heya daddy-O. =:)
The other 2 family computers have both Linux (SuSE 10 and FC4, iirc) and Windows. The ONLY reason that we have windows on them, btw, is because Alpha Omega’s Switched On Schoolhouse requires Windows to run. =:(
Also, Hi Nate! =;)

I just searched for “internet stick” and landed here.
Our family PC had a USB wireless adapter the size of a thumb drive, which my wife named “the internet stick.” I recently referenced it in a blog post (http://techreport.com/discussions.x/13510) and was checking to see if the search engine crawlers had picked it up. Sure enough, they had, but I see that your daughter coined the term first.
Thanks for the laugh.

Heh. That’s great.
Out of curiousity, what OS is on the other computers? Linux? Windows? Both?
