    Telling where you are, or how fast you're going mainly :p

    You can get GPS plugins it Google Earth, or with a bit of coding you could rig it to record which customer(s) you visited on which days ...

    Thanks for the tip about R198215.EXE. Control point connection manager has been driving me nuts, and Wireless Manager works perfectly. (I'm running Vista Enterprise SP1.)

    Thanks
