with all the product refreshes, how about the might mouse Apple? the scroll ball is so badly designed and almost impossible to cleanup. even after taking it apart and cleaning the insides, the gunk still builds up and jams the scroll down.
stupidest invention ever... why would it have a built in wireless networking when the MBPs already have it in their system? wow....
Bah pour une fois c est pas les belges.....![]()
Can someone just clarify for me:
If using this supposed new Airport Express as your only router in a small apartment, two 802.11a/b/g/n enabled MacBook Pros would work fine, but the iPod touch would not even connect? I could care less about WiFi speed or range in this scenario for the touch, but does this mean it cannot even connect to the WiFi if it is supplied by an 802.11n Airport Express?
Thanks.
As far as I recall, cable through Virgin is actually the biggest single way consumers get broadband in the UK. While more are getting it down their phone-line, Virgin have more subscribers than any other provider. Since they are about the only ones who don't provide a router with their modems, it is the most commonly asked for in our store. I guarantee you for every customer we have with ADSL wanting to buy a router, we have another with cable. Most of the ADSL ones also tend to be replacements as time goes on because more are providing them these days.Its annoying, I wish that one device could do all. Isnt that normally what apple promote. I want one device that I can stream audio, have harddrive access (Time Machine supported preferably) and an ADSL Modem built in, (in the UK nearly all internet connections are DSL, cable is hardly anywhere). But no, I have to buy 3 products to get that.
I'll testify to that. I love the MM and defended it to the death, but I was a little too vigourous with cleaning it and the scroll ball got forced inwards. When I took it apart to look, there is a bent piece of metal claiming to be a spring and that had snapped. Ball still works, but not raised enough and the ball button requires that metal as a contact. Must have fallen out of place as I put it back together as that no longer works either.with all the product refreshes, how about the might mouse Apple? the scroll ball is so badly designed and almost impossible to cleanup. even after taking it apart and cleaning the insides, the gunk still builds up and jams the scroll down.

I've been on ADSL broadband for years now. Everyone I know at work (I asked ~40 people) is either with BT, Be, Daemon etc... no-one is with Virgin. No-one has cable. I would like to see your stats
As my network connection is so slow; pay for 8MB get 3 MB, there's no point in Wireless N in my apartment. Nothing has N in here and I already have an airport express (and extreme). Looks like I will be missing this one.
By default 802.11n is backward-compatible, so your iPod Touch should do fine. However it is possible to turn that compatibility off; so you could find yourself in an 802.11n setting where your Touch wouldn't work.
Supposedly 802.11n provides faster connections to 802.11n devices if you turn backward compatibility off.
Another feature which some people might not know about is that if you have an older computer without the ability to add an airport card, you can plug an ethernet cord from the express to the computer and it will received Internet signal that way (assuming you already have wireless broadcast from somewhere else throughout your house).
Hopefully, it will have bi-directional capabilities. Right now you can only print but there are a lot of people with all-in-ones (printer/scanner/fax/etc) that are left out in the cold.
Regardless of brand, I never seen a combo printer (printer/scanner/fax/etc) ever work over wired or wireless. All those features to my knowledge are only available when connected to a computer via USB. Only printing works over the network, all the other features to my knowledge will not work.
Check your manual.
Scanning, as well as printing, works over network with my Brother MFC-7820N. It is connected to Ethernet port of Airport Express. But there is the letter "N" in model number of course.
