Apple's New, Improved Airport

Here are the tech specs." An anonymous reader pointed to Apple's rather bland press release as well. This is a good upgrade to the Airport, with thanks probably due in part to companies like Linksys who are making much less expensive 802.11 base stations (which work great with Airport cards, too), though lacking a modem.

I might as well reply to my own post, since everyone is giving me shit for it.

You're all be hypocrites. You tell me to calm down, yet jump all over my back when I fail to realize (in my opinion, a very poor) joke. Thank you! I realize it's a joke now. A simple, "Hey, brian, it's a joke. Get it?" would have been sufficient.

Calm down.
