[Cube] Cube Digest, Vol 58, Issue 1

[tiger]

Is there any issue with the Cube, running Tiger 10.4.11, and the latest
Airport Extremes? Everytime I try to connect, it give an error from the
cube..but wont specify what it is..all other macs and pc's in house work
fine to this airport extreme....

I wasn't sure if i needed to load some updated software....I have the
airport card installed in the cube..standard, stock model that fits it...
