Re: WiFi...Why Apple over 3rd party

I have a US Robotics router and a "gulp" Microsoft wireless card that I use for WS II. I had to pay a little more for the 3rd party driver to work the MS card, but I was still $30 cheaper than an airport that won't work in my system anyway. The router has a 108Mb capability and was only $40 after rebate. Apple is cool, but I'm not...meh!

Good morning All, I live in the Seattle area and we have all of the electronic and office big box stores, independent Apple dealers, and at least two Apple Stores. I am getting ready to go home wireless with my Pismo, and in reading the Sunday paper and all of the ads, my question is this; why do I need Airport, when there are several name brand WiFi routers on sale for less than $100.00? Aside from Apple loyalty, and the "cool" factor, which may be negligent as the router is often in a place where the casual visitor to your home may not see it and therefor not be impressed by your "cool" factor, is there a compelling technical factor for using an Airport over any of the other good products on the market ? I have been a rabid Mac user since 1985 and love the "look and feel" of the products and how they work, and work, and work! Thanks Jim.
No compelling tech factor in my book. Go Linksys. Cheap, stackable, fast and reliable.
