Hopefully, we'll be hooked up
Upon the announcement of Airport Express I was amped to get one and start my own little network. Alas my 15" iMac flat panel won't work without the old card. With so many of us macheads feeling left out of a cool product that even WINDOWS users can enjoy, it is so wrong for us diehards to not be able to experience this operability and tottally cool product. Something should be done. My friend got one and uses it with his Windows network in his home flawlessly. He teases me.
The only hope I have is that something is in the works for all of us. I love my Mac. I would never buy anything else, but I am feeling left out of some of the fun. Perhaps that new upcomming standard 802.11n will solve some of our woes. Will Apple make the next version of Airport compatible with both older Airport and Extreme computers? Or will we just have to wait to get a "new" computer to enjoy Wireless?? Hopefully the next 6 months should answer some questions for us. But, I seem to remember hearing about 2004 being an incredible year, and that "we are working on applications that nobody even thought of before".
I'm all about going forward, I spend much time in the architectural field attempting to get us more converts. Just don't leave some of us folks who rode this big change too behind. My original iPod still works, this 1st gen 700 imac still runs great, we've all updated to OS X for you, come on Apple, we have chosen you; you are OUR solutions and our future plans, figure a way to through us a bone on this one. Airport Express is too cool!!
