Yep, same here where we are, and those are the ones I use.

i just did a quick googling of that model number, shows up as a Pentium III class computer.  I'd be hesitant to use a USB wireless adapter, becasue that unit probably does not have usb 2.0.  i have had problems with usb 1.1 and usb wireless adapters.  I could be wrong, but i dont think you can get anything above wireless B working without USB 2.0.

This card by LinkSys is frequently on sale at MCM Electronics for around $10 to $12:

It is a Pentium III computer... how do I tell if it is USB 2.0?  If not I guess I should go with the card, right?

Thanks!  This is what I had in mind - I'll have to keep an eye for for a price drop.
