Warwalking ahoy!
I don't think mine has an AirPort card. (Well, it seems to think it does, but it doesn't actually pick up signals, and the specs didn't mention one.)
Good thing you didn't get one of the 17" things. They're too bloody heavy, and not so useful as a laptop. Very nice as a desktop that you lug around. Too bad no bastard is making bags big enough for them yet! (ok, there's one in the "crumpler" style, but these suckers *hurt* when they're on one shoulder for too long)
At least the 17" comes with AirPort (and bluetooth, but I can't afford the gizmos that use it ;)
Me again. Did I mention the teensy keyboard? Same size as the regular 15" laptop - with the numpad overlay, the compressed function keys, the silly "fn" key where God Intended The Control Key To Be. Even though there's plenty of room in there...
Really, *don't* buy one of these things, even if you're tempted. Buy a small car instead.
I'll go away now ;)
Actually, I bought it more as a desktop that's easily transportable. The 17" would have done the job nicely, other than not running OS9.
As of today, I've installed most of my music software on it, and am moving the 2Gb or so of projects I've got to it.
The 12" PowerBooks are cute though.
I figure with the 17"'s, if they're going be that heavy and big cf the 15", why not have a decent keyboard with a numeric pad and all that? Though I'm not buying any new toys in a hurry, except maybe Cubase SX and a 24/96 card.
Btw, where's that title quote about the glutinous rice from? That's really weird...
I believe it's from a list of top 10 Hong Kong action movie subtitles or something like that.
I'll get Cubase SX at some stage, once there are enough OSX plugins to justify ditching OS9 and VST 5.1. (I'm waiting mostly for Pluggo, the Muon Computer Music softsynths and a few others.)

Avalong hack and you'll never look back.

err Humphries
it's actually after a Slowdive song title.
Sounds like we've got the same machine. Excuse my blatant boasting, but once you get one of these beautiful machines, you can't help but pointing it out at any available opportunity.
