Hi Doug Jamal,

We don't know what God looks like (or do you?) ... so God, who created
802.11b,g in the first place, can be male or female or neutral for all
we know.

As you inferred, I was just being a bit too subtle by referring to God
in the feminine sense when referring to her all-mightly creation of the
supreme power of periodicity ...

I've been on the Singapore circuit tour all day; now that I'm back in
the hotel, I'll attack the electromagnetic problem again of trying to
wirelessly connect with one Windows XP computer to another WinXP
computer wired to the hotel network sans a wireless router ...

Any advice, short of an act of God, that shows me the way to connect
one computer wirelessly to another which is wired so that they can
share the Internet connection would be greatly appreciated.

Cindy

And to judge from the progress of 802.11n, She keeps changing Her mind.

Indecision is the key to flexibility.

Looking at the various documents:

For 802.11-1999, the working group showed:
  77 men, 0 women
I'm too lazy to count the 1997 members, but I did find 2 women listed.

For 802.11b-1999, the working group showed:
  91 men, 0 women

For 802.11G-2003, the working group showed:
  322 men, 3 women

I'm not sure about some of the foreign names and listed them as male
when in doubt.

Therefore, one might suggest that the gods that gave unto us the
blessing of wireless were male, not female.
