Nothing to be sorry about. Thanks for the time you took to respond. I 
suppose I'll have to access internet with my V.90 modem, then. It will be 
slow, but if there is no other alternative ..... Maybe tomorrow I'll go 
shopping and look for alternative wireless cards. I will buy nothing but ask 
which is supported.
