    Even so -- for anyone who doesn't have Airport pocket change laying
around (they're suddenly quite damn expensive), it'd be a cheap alternative.
I had to consider that myself, recently... Luckily I found a friend with a
used Airport card to sell.

    Besides, unless you're tossing gigs of data back and forth between your
own machines (most users don't -- they just email and surf), 11g is
overkill. Plain ol' dull boring 11b seems to work just fine for the vast
majority.
