Yes, Airport is fantastic! I've had mine for over a year and I still marvel at the way it allows me to roam the house and surf the internet or connect to my other Macs. I can sit out in my back yard with my Key Lime iBook, type out a paper, then print the paper over Airport to the Bondi iMac upstairs in my office. Of course, I still have to walk upstairs to get the paper...;) Another thing, a fast internet connection and Airport seem made for each other. I have two iMacs(266 Lime, 233 Bond), two iBooks(366 Key Lime, 500 iceBook) with Airport cards. The cable modem, Airport, and two iMacs are all hooked to the Linksys Router. With this setup I can have all four Macs online at the same time, and I can share files back and forth from any Mac. One of the reasons I have this setup is it allows my son & daughter flexibility in doing their homework. Apple needs to push Airport more agressively I think.
