ive just bought an ibook g4 12" and im just configuring it atm. when you come to he option of connecting the internet i am confused, it has AirPort wirless built in, but is this all i need to connect to the internet (i already have a wirless network on my home comp) i have heard of a AirPort extreme wirless card, is this what i need? also, if i click 'my computer does not connect to the internet' could i select this option and sort it out at a later date when i have made the appropret purchases. thanks, please help. joe

As long as you have a wireless network in your house then you will be able to connect to the internet without wireless. Your new iBook (assuming its a brand new one and not second hand) will have come with an airport extreme card built in. This is all you need to connect to the internet wirelessly.

And yes, if you want, you can click my comp does not connect to the internet and then set it up at a later date. I found this the easiest way to connect to my router, as I had problems with my password and stuff.
