Took look inside ..
No wires/cables dangling - so guess have to do self install ...
also, I'm curious, is it normal there to be very little space there ? 
... i.e.same depth as RAM has [apart from plastic cover gives some extra 
space].
Was suprised at lack of space, thought would have been more, unsure how 
usual this is.

Is it just Irish IBM that aren't the most helpful ?
Emailed them twice so far, first time enquiring about what / if any, 
wireless cards the laptop can take - and general info.
To which I got responce 'we don't supply directly, here is list of vendors'

Emailed regarding antenna for laptop, and got same reply, word for word 
- must be a template of theirs.

Any info regarding getting antenna much appriciated.

Regards,

Sean
