I haven't tried to hook up to the wireless outside of the apartment yet. Maybe when the new notebook comes in. Might be easier to study out there...

New notebook and you didn't tell me???

Model?

Specs?

Price?

I was going to wait until it arrived before I started REALLY bragging. It's an older model, but the price was right. 🙂

15" Aluminum Powerbook
1Ghz G4
256MB DDR 333 (NEVER buy RAM from apple)
60GB hard drive @4200rpm
DVD/cd-rw Combo drive
Gigabit Ethernet
Airport Extreme built in

Nothing too special. Just have to find some more ram for it. Not sure if I should settle for 768MB or if I should spring for a GB stick. 😉

Why didn't you buy a real notebook (IBM ThinkPad T42)?

Intel processor, small hard drive, expensive, no OS X goodness (it's lickable), basic black is boring...

With the student discount, and the fact I bought one of the sale notebooks, the PB was just a bit more than the "economy" T42.

my A64 notebook > yours

I would have preferd an AMD64 notebook, but I couldn't find one I liked. The ones I found were too big and/or heavy. A 9lbs, 15" laptop is not my idea of a good time. A 7-8lbs 17" laptop also makes my shoulder hurt just thinking about it.

Plus heat and battery life were a concern.
