Despite the lack of any Ethernet cables, these fully functional machines are connected to my local-area network, or LAN, at home and to the Internet as I wait for a plane at certain airports or sip a cappuccino at my local coffee shop. Toshiba's Tecra T8200 and IBM's ThinkPad A22m are relatively early examples of what is likely to become a trend in portable computing - laptops with built-in wireless LAN adapters.... (ed. note - UIS will begin installing wireless LAN service in August. It is hoped the entire campus will have wireless coverage by October. )
