Karl,

I'm not willing to give mine up, but I highly recommend whatever no-name
model I have (payed $17 after shipping July 2005).  I keep it with me
(it's my cell-phone Internet link) at most all the GLLUG meetings and
will have it at Pengiucon.  Ask me if you'd like to take a look at it
and or test on your laptop.  Since it was only $17 then, it's probably
closer to $12 now.

Also, you'll need a bit more hardware if you want to use it as a
pointer.  The Wii remotes handle pointing by tracking the position of
some infra-red LEDs that are contained in the sensor bar and
transmitting that information back to the unit.  Without it, the
directional capabilities aren't going to work.
