Have been wondering what all this "wireless" hype is
about.
Have a Mac iBook, G3 with Airport, installed.
One of my friends, who insists on a Dell PC laptop
being the greatest thing in the world (His employer
simply replaces his with another when it fails, which seems
to be every six months or so) thought he could
access my Airport Extreme system, to no avail,
His Palm Pilot knew it was there
however it too baulked at using same.
So is WiFi ONLY for owners of Windows based PC's and not for Macs?
Where does Airport Extreme come into this?
Are we Mac owners limited by machine design or do we need to add
something
to our laptops in order to do WiFi?
Mind given all the snoops these days intercepting all form
and manner of communications, might really want to think otherwise
about
WiFi...but am just curious.
Bryce,
Apple gives the names "AirPort" and "AirPort Express" to their
implementation of WiFi. AirPort is 802.11b (11Mbps). AirPort Extreme
is 802.11g (54Mbps).
