Read this before you rate the other reviewers.......2007-03-08

For those of you that don't understand what the other comments are about, you should know that although Amazon has fixed the site in the meantime, the original Technical Specs on this card read exactly as follows:
One 6.5-ounce package
Made with enriched wheat flour and natural vanilla flavoring
100% cholesterol free and sweetened with sorbitol
America's number one brand of sugar-free cookies
Creme-filled, vanilla cookies perfect for low-carb diets

Quite funny, I know. As far as a real review goes, I own two of these cards and can say that they perform even better than more expensive ones. The Orinoco chipset is great, reception is good, never had a problem with this card.

Upgrading made easy.......2007-03-07

I find that upgrading is made much easier now that I can simply eat my old hardware when it's time to upgrade.

However, I'm not fond of the promiscuous mode aftertaste that Orinco cards have. Perhaps if you can train yours to stop sniffing other computers, then you might be able solve this.

Delicious Network Card!.......2007-03-07

This is a very healthy card, but is also delicious thanks to the creme filling (yum!). If your wifi doesn't include sorbitol, this one is highly recommended.
