airport. go without ram as long as you can. then get it and admire how much it feels like a newer, faster computer when you finally find the money to boost the ram.

And get as much RAM as you can afford! I'm running with 640 now and it's great!
Just save for the AirPort card later, keep checking the marketplace forum for one.
Good luck!

Doesn't Small Dog have AirPort cards? Definitely go for both, but balance the cost of more RAM (go BIG-another 512MB at least!) with the cost of the AirPort card. You WILL see a huge improvement in an iBook with 640MB of RAM compared to one with 128MB, but how hard is it right now to sit down in the same spot to surf all the time?
Go for both-with what you're saving by going with Small Dog, you should be able to afford them.
