Subject: [OS2Wireless] OS/2 Wireless FAQ

Thanks for your kind words, Stan. I think what really highlighted the 
need for this were not only your initial comments on the mailing list, 
but the ongoing discussion with Kris in the thread concerning Jacaranda 
for dummies. The point is that many of us on this list have by now set 
up several Wi-Fi cards in several machines, and take much of what we 
know and do for granted. It's sort of akin to me teaching my 
almost-7-year-old (Rachel will be seven on the 23rd; I can hardly 
believe it...if you'll forgive a father's slightly misty-eyed 
recollection of holding my little girl in the hospital what seems so 
recently...) how to tie her shoes.

When I was teaching piano, I used to make the analogy concerning the 
involved muscles in the fingers and hands to teaching someone to walk; 
if one were to stop and think about every little thing going on when 
taking a series of steps, he'd probably fall over! this is what I'm 
hoping the FAQ and the subsequent How-To will help us avoid.
