Hi Josh, Yeah, main attractions of a USB adaptor for me are:
1) Easy to swap between two computers (both are 2nd computers so we won't want to use both simultaneously) 2) Should? have a better wireless range so handle the brick/granite walls better. Ebay have a few original airports for sale - the one that closes first is currently up to $33 (+$5 postage) and closes in 19hours: <http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120189284351&ssP ageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=002> I guess the "flakiness" or otherwise is what I was trying to gauge with my post! But I see that Macfixit are selling an Asus one on ebay for $55 (+$10 postage) that they say: > Works with Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.4 Tiger > > 100% Compatible With Apple Airport and Airport Extreme > > GUARANTEED APPLE COMPATIBILITY, EASY SET UP: <http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=280179337318&ssP ageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=018> I was just looking for some WAMUG wisdom and experience (good or bad) with ANY usb adaptors before making any decisions.
