So....I stopped by my old tech school today and Anne, the director filled my arms with books and information, so here I am this late afternoon fielding mortgage calls and learning that...
Vista operates on a wireless platform based on radio waves. Yes, the stuff cell phones and radios use...but better. We all remember high school science (Ok, well I do) where we learned that radio waves are created when electrons move in a wire, and when it moves it creates an electromagnetic field around the wire which then in turn sends out a wave when the field changes. By starting and stopping electron movement we create field changes, thus creating a radio wave which moves through space at the speed of light.
Modulating the radio wave, by changing the frequency (you KNOW - the times per second it takes the wave to get from one peak to the next) determines the measuremnt. Like FM for FM radio which stands for Frequency Modulation, AM for Amplitude Modulation...have I lost ya yet?
There are different types of technology developed for wireless in this capacity. There is the Institute Of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, which develops the standards for computers. The wireless standard allows data transfer at a higher rate. The modulation method used for one router is Differential Binary Phase Shift Keying, Differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying and Complementary Code Keying depending on the speed needed. These methods alter the wave to send data.
Clear as mud?
So look at me...I am geek speakin again and loving it. I contacted my "Mr Big"and asked his advise. I am sure it will make fora commical and wise retort. I will write more in a bit.

PS. Maybe my imaginary lover could finish this since I am tired and want my bed...I am fried from reading so much tech info.
