The first thing I'd recommend would be to update the bios. The last time I went looking for a bios update I found one on the .ca panny website. Updating the bios till take a CF-08TX1BX1M from WinCE 4 to WinCE 5 which makes the wireless work better, at least in my experience. I do agree that wireless G only is a good thing as was stated by Wyrm73. After that it depends on what you want to do with the CF-08. I personally use a CF-08 on an adhoc network to remote desktop to a CF-51 that I have Calibre e-book software and an e-book library on. One thing you have to do is set a password on the account used to access the remote desktop. I found there was very little documentation on that particular detail about setting up a remote desktop. Otherwise there are numerous tutorials on how to set up a remote desktop so I won't get into that here. Since you say you aren't a network guy that's probably all you want to try and do with you CF-08. They can connect to Citrix or Windows servers and use server applications, but that's a whole other ball of wax. You can also connect them to access points and then LAN enabled desktops but it's much more complicated than the adhoc network. I have tried this and it is much more hassle than it's worth in my opinion.
Another thing I do is save my settings in the CF-08 after I've gotten it all set up. If you don't do this you'll lose all your settings once power goes off. I also set my screen brightness level very low to preserve the battery. Something else to note is that you cannot use a memory card that is not a plain SDSC memory card. This limits the memory card size to 4GB or less

As far as I can determine, you'd have to have WinCe 5.0 developers tools and the specific source code for the customized version of WinCE 5.0 that the CF-08 runs to allow the CF-08 to use SDHC or SDHX memory cards. The developer tools could be gotten, although the license is not cheap, but panny would never release the customized version. Panasonic wants to sell newer products, not support end of life products.
I'd be happy to answer any other specific questions if I can
