Running cables is no fun at all. Luckily, in this day and age, you don’t have to deal with wired Internet if you don’t want to. You can buy a wireless router and wireless cards for all your computers.

Most of your laptops will already have wireless cards built in. If they don’t, you can add one. You can also take the laptop over to the router and connect to the Internet there.

If you want to add one, find out which types of wireless cards you can use. If you have a PCMCIA or Expresscard slot, you should consider one of these, since the cards don’t stick out of the body of the laptop. They slide inside it. This means there’s less to catch on something when you’re walking around with the laptop.

Check your manual to see if you have one of these ports. You can also bring the laptop to a decent computer store. The employee there will be able to tell you which type of ports you have.

After all your laptops are wireless, you’ll want to make your desktops wireless. You can either buy PCI wireless cards or USB wireless cards. The USB wireless cards are easy to set up. You can even buy one card, and use it in multiple computers. This might be a way to control your children’s Internet use.

We have had our share of websites like that allow really long website names to be converted to a short one. Each of these sites have their advantages and disadvantages. I recently came across a similar site by the name of for shrinking multiple links into one. Personally, even though I’m considered a geek, I do despise such sites which do not serve my purpose well enough.
