PCMCIA LAN card will become history

Today, I went into a computer shop to ask for a PCMCIA LAN card. The sales staff were puzzled wondering what kinds of notebook I had which did not have a built-in LAN card. I told them that some people who conduct network testing and monitoring need two or three LAN connections in their notebook PCs. The sales people went on to tell me that they only had one such card sold out in a year.

One thing for sure is that PCMCIA LAN cards will become obsolete in near future. I like to keep this kind of hardware devices and I will buy two more for future use.
