If so, you might consider simply adding an Airport Express to your system - using it as a form of repeater you can extend the radio coverage, it might even be possible to so site it that it offers the possibility of playing music from the PowerBook(s) through your Hi-fi.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>David</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>PS.
