Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Thanks! I ran into Kristin when I went out to buy myself something in a fit of retail therapy, and she inspired a visit to the apple store.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Do you have to install some special program to configure the Airport Base? I had to for my Time Capsule. But once I did that, it was absurdly simple to set up.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Do you have to install some special program to configure the Airport Base?

It comes with Leopard.

Yeah, I noticed when I was updating to the new OS that it had some sort of airport thingy. Does it mean I can return the card?

Nope. The card is the hardware part for the laptop. The software that you noticed is (probably) for configuring the airport base station.

I don't think any configuration is required for the airport card on the laptop, btw.

The status is NOT quo.

That was one weird bit of timing. I'm glad to hear that you got cool Apple toys.

Uh oh, does this mean I have to crack open my laptop?

Question: most laptops don't have great sound cards compared to desktops. I had to buy a USB sound card to get "Naturally Speaking" to do decent speech recognition on my computer.

But I'd imagine Skype would not be that fussy. Anyone do Skype (voice only) over a lap top and have no problem? I think the person already has a headphone/mic compo. Or does he need a USB soundcard as well?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Uh oh, does this mean I have to crack open my laptop?

Probably, if you want to install the Airport card. But I bet apple.com has pictures.
