   BTW, as Johann Beretta noted prior, you "could" pull the horn out of that   
   radio, and it would be a LOT smaller, and still be a LOT more powerful than   
   the utterly puny 30mW (or whatever) 1/2 dBi (or whatever) Wi-Fi output of   
   that anemic IBM ThinkPad WiFi.   
       
      
   Notice that simply by plugging the Ethernet cable coming out of the horn   
   into the Ethernet port of the IBM ThinkPad, the WiFi range of that laptop   
   is instantly extended (by a LOT).   
      
   That's a key point of this thread, is that this power is availble to all.
