Either should work. There is a point about only needing one antenna ,
though without diversity, you do become susceptible to multipath
interference, as we discussed previously. Mounting th antenna in the
bay isn't as good as mounting it in the lid, as the lid provides a much
better profile for waves which are directed horizontally (one of the
reasons PCMCIA cards with integral antennas are less capable than those
with rabbit ears).

As to the argument between adding internal Wi-Fi vs carrying around yet
another power hungry chunk of hardware is concerned, I'll leave the
answer to personal taste. Frnakly, I carry enough cr-p around with me
without having to drag something else along to a hotspot. In fact, I got
so tired of wheeling my notebook case into Panera that I got a
form-fitting, zippered case for my T43, so now all I need to tote around
is one thing which fits under my arm.

Interesting finds on eBay, Stan. Thanks for sharing them. If you do
decide to try one, please post your results.
