While being at it: When I bought my Dell Inspiron 8000 the sales person said something like the antenna for wireless operation was already built in or provided. But when I see the pccards these days they all have this 1" antenna block coming out of the slot (which doesn't look very elegant and is a possible risk of damaging something). Is there something like 'internal antennas' in notebook computers?
