    I believe this is smaller than the black dongle.

    USB rectal thermometers are highly underrated.

    #1 me and my wife was laughing hell, I enjoy reading joke like this than deals.. about this White Dongle.. I got one at NE.. Driver for the dongle takes me 1 hour to figur it out. I been using usb 2.0 wreless for a while and this one takes me the longest to install, also it get very hot.. Paid $25.00 bucks last year at NE. I prefer the PCI ones. Good only if you need extra PCI spot open..

    Got one and it works great. Not sure about some of the reviews but mine doesn't get hot. Saved me from running ethernet cable around the entire perimeter of the room.

    Have one of these myself, great little wireless adapter, never had a problem out of it, and it might get a little bit "warm" at best, but its never gotten what I would consider hot.

    Just a FYI, the website www.chiefvalue.com always has these on sale for $20 shipped. No need to wait on Newegg for free shipping.

    I used these to migrate to wireless for my home network. They work great and are easy to install. I don't know what issues #4 was having, but mine were a breeze. You do have to follow the instructions and install the drivers FIRST, then plug in the acctual dongle. They get great reception, but they do get warm. Not hot, but warm. Every usb wireless dongle I have ever seen has gotten warm though. This isn't much of a deal though, mine were $15 each through NE. Maybe the black ones are just cheaper.
