Hi to all, i'm writing this on my brand spanking new handy dandy high speed low drag iBook G4, 14" screen, 768 megs RAM, OS X 10.3.4. This is the first actually new Mac I've ever had, and I words cannot express how thrilled I am to be running it and not have to rely on my Compaq presario PC which I've learned to despise. Besides a quick hello, I actuallywanted to post some questions about a topic I've never really put much thought to. i've always been tied to desktop computers, and as such have never noticed how clumsy and awkward chords are on a laptop like this one. As such, i'm thinking of taking advantage of the built in Airport Extreme card, and hooking it together with my older computers. I've already asked other questions concerning this on other lists, so I'll keep this concise and different from the other questions I've already posed elsewhere: How much gear will I need to buy? Will an airport extreme base station do the trick for networking, or will I need to buy some more hardware and software as well? Keep inmind, i had hoped to put PCs and macs on this wireless network. Next, The school i go to has a couple wireless hotspots, but is PC oriented. What are the odds that I will be able to interface using these hotspots and my iBook? TIA, Brian
