The range is less to get the high-speed connection (50 feet instead of 150 feet, iirc); but the $249 version also includes an interface for an external antennae (finally!). The only really bad thing is that the new airport cards won't work in old airport slots. :( -Jeff [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- "You can't brew a premium lager with a kool-aid mentality." --Harold Green in _The_Red_Green_Show_ -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
