It's a Woot-Off killer!

Because they had them to sell.

Why do they post any items they have? Because someone had a bunch of these items and woot was like 'We know some people who will buy it just to move this along in a woot-off'

Is this real life?

I use 2 of these and jam them 1 on top the other as a door stop... that's about all there good for now a days.

I'd get this, but I don't have Windows 95 any more.

You could use this to download Wang Chung off this new service called Napster - for FREE. Check it out.

On the good side, it looks like it will fit in at least two of the bags on home.woot right now.....

Dear WoOt!, please bring the ceiling speakers

Will it work with my Windows 3.1 laptop?

From the D-Link site:

MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
+ Computer with:
- Windows Vista™2, Windows® XP SP22, Windows 2000 SP42, or Mac OS® X (v10.2/v10.3)3
- CD-ROM Drive
- 20MB Hard Disk Space
- 32-Bit Cardbus Type II Slot

Put some googly eyes on it and you have the new Pet Rock!

If you need this it is time for another comp.

This probably take awhile. In the meantime...

Why would anyone buy this? If your laptop is old enough to need this it's not worth $12.99.

Perfect Stocking stuffers for that geek in your life who has laptops with only 14.4 modems. =)

C'mon Woot. How about a PCMCIA 2400 baud phone modem as a bundle with this.

I think this will work with my abacus.

Personal computer memory card somethin somethin

Haha, its cheaper on Amazon (if you have Prime)!

Who might use one of these?
- Folks with old laptops (I used one for a while in a work laptop);
- Folks with newer laptops out of warranty with faulty ethernet ports;
- And if you paint/decorate the external portion of the card so it looks more like a brass pipe vs. black plastic, steampunk aficionados.

"Does anyone still use PCMCIA cards anymore?

Bingo! I need this for my Heathkit H8

shouldn't this come with drivers on a 3.5 disk?

I tried to give one of these away in the Craigslist free section and got 50 "lulz" emails

What the hell is this for???

I actually still have one of these from about 6 years ago when I owned a thin notebook that had no ports except for the pcmcia hole and a single usb.

When I still had that laptop the card worked surprisingly well and fast. I highly recommend it.....if you can find some use for it today

Look, Woot, my stuff is plenty outdated and even I can only say, What??????

I was thinking of buying one of these for my collection. So far:

1 box Sony 3.5" floppy discs (unopened)
1 box Maxell 5.25" floppy discs (unopened)
1 IBM System/38 COBOL Pocket Programmer's Guide
1 RPG Ruler.
1 Timex Sinclair
1 Motorola flip phone (the big gray one with the floppy attennae

I am going to open a Geek Museum.

I've never used my PCMCIA slot. I feel cheated.

The best use I can think of for this is having 2 wired connections at once... But I don't know for what.

up next..........a 56k dial up modem with telephone pass through !!

You get one of these, and you can pretty much guarantee that the Borg will leave you alone... You know? They only add 'useful' technology to their collective!

I totally need an Ethernet Notebook Adapter! #TweetFrom2003

Is this compatible with my token ring network?

Shoot!! I was excited for a minute. I needed a new modem card to access my AOL dial up account. I now realize this isn't a modem. Dang!!
