Hey
I am a windows user, but I've had enough. I just sold my wintel notebook on Ebay and I am going to purchase the Apple powerbook 17"!
A couple of questions though -
At home, we have a netgear router - will my apple be able to pick up this -
Also, can apples work with all the same routers wintel PC's work with, or is that not the case?
I wanted to wait for the next revision, but its taking forever, and I need a PC!

Thanks for any help
Mishal

Shouldn't be a problem, they invented standards and protocols with compatibility in mind. Sorry for the sarcasm but you would only hope two computers would talk to each other.

Just use TCP/IP and let the games begin!
