Sweet! One of the comments at the bottom is a guy who got it to work with his Netgear wireless.

I might just have to try this out; how much did you pay for yours? The airport, that is?

If you use iTunes you can play tunes over your livingroom speakers with Airport Express. :)

What, he's been going on about how his shitty Vaio is better, so I thought I'd set him right.

It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.

Then why are you trying to better me when I have a job that supplies a £32’000 Audi as a perk? LOL, you’re fucking pathetic mate.

Listen, I’m sorry if I’ve got to you in the past here. I kind of feel sorry for you now, no hard feelings eh?

Shit! I never knew. I only got as far as the mailbox anyway. I was in brum a few weeks back for the week at an expo. Stopped at the Grand Plaza in the centre. I would have popped in and said hi, then expected some free stuff from you.

I was gonna buy a powerbook a few months back, but I decided against it when you consider the specs compared to their PC equivalent. I do like macs (and i use the G5 powermacs every day at uni), but the fact remains they are still WAY overpriced for what they are.

They updated the specs recently though, which is a good move. But you can still get the highest spec iBook which is less than the 12" powerbook, and almost as powerful.

I'm gonna buy the Sony VAIO A417M when it becomes available mid-may. I'm looking for a straight desktop replacement which will handle all the creative apps with ease, and the screen on that model is one of the best available. It also looks pretty purty :)

Soapy, you've got to be honest with yourself. Did best buy offer you a $64,000 car as a perk? Did they offer it to you for nothing alongside your special 10% store discount? Does your current line of unemployment offer you a top of the range Audi to get around in?

If only you knew the joys of driving an Audi. It's not the beautiful lines, or the reliability, or the desireability, or the finely upholstered leather interior that you could sleep in. It's not the sound of the turbo whistling away as you overtake someone on the outside doing 140mph, and it's not the climate control keeping you nice and cool on this fine summers day. It's definitely not the heated washer nozzels or the fact that nearly every women under 30 looks at you and smiles as you drive past.

It's actually all of those things, combined with not working at best buy.
