Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Do I need the Extreme card for the Macbook, and the 802.11n upgrade if I get the base station? Would I need those if I got the express instead?
If it's a MacBook (and not an iBook), it should be able to do 802.11n, assuming you have the right software installed.
Apple just updated the Airport Express to 802.11n, so a brand new Express isn't very different than the Extreme base station, except that you can stream iTunes to the Express and you can plug an external disk into the Extreme and make it a file server.
For both the Express and the Extreme, you can plug a printer directly into them, so you wouldn't have a need for an external print server.

Okay. Looked closer at the specs for the MacBook. Picked up the MacBook and an Airport Express. The Macbook is for S. I'll be picking myself up a refurbed Pro in the coming weeks.

Yeah, my full fledged initiation package will be arriving Monday or Tuesday, but I think the guy is coming by tonight to actually brand an Apple logo onto my ass.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
FUCK.
Verizon Store Guy recommended a hard reset of my phone. Well, I did that, and now I can't get past the fucking language selection screen because none of the fucking buttons are working.
GodDAMNIT I do not have money for a new phone right now. Which means I'm going to wind up with a shitty MotoQ or something because it's all I can get for free with my trade-in discount.
[eta: Has anyone used the LG EnV? It looks like the best free QWERTY keyboard-having phone I can get for free with my current plan. Ideally, I'd like to just upgrade to a Treo 755p and keep all my apps (Freecell & Sudoku, how I'll miss you!) but it's just way outside my current budget.]

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I still can't get my ipod shuffle to work. What a PITA. I wish I'd never got it.
